English abstract

The Semantic Web had a significant impact on the GLAM domain, where the need to connect knowledge has grown so important that it has sparked numerous crowdsourcing initiatives and collaborative native Linked Open Data cataloguing projects. One of the key challenges in facing these collaborative activities is the heterogeneity of content and levels of expertise among users. While existing solutions can meet several important requirements, developing new features is often affected by the practical use of such platforms in real-world work settings. This article explores novel demands and presents the solution proposed by CLEF 2.0, the native Linked Open Data cataloguing software adopted in various case studies concerning the description of Italian Digital Cultural Heritage.

Italian abstract

L’affermazione del Web Semantico ha avuto un impatto significativo nel settore delle istituzioni GLAM, per le quali la connessione dei saperi ha assunto una rilevanza tale da produrre numerose iniziative di crowdsourcing e progetti collaborativi di catalogazione nativa Linked Open Data. Una sfida attuale che interessa tali attività collaborative riguarda l’eterogeneità dei contenuti e dei gradi di competenza posseduti dagli utenti. Se da un lato soluzioni esistenti riescono a soddisfare i requisiti minimi in questo ambito di lavoro, spesso a dettare le linee guida dello sviluppo di nuove funzionalità è il concreto impiego di queste stesse piattaforme in contesti di lavoro pratici. Il presente articolo intende analizzare queste esigenze e presentare la soluzione proposta da CLEF 2.0, il software per la catalogazione nativa Linked Open Data adottato in alcuni casi di studio inerenti alla descrizione del patrimonio culturale digitale italiano.
