Digitalizzazione, trascrizione, citazione: le fonti testuali per le pubblicazioni digitali

Book digitizations are enjoying a tremendous success in recent years, making it possible to overcome the limitations on access to the rarest physical books. But, upon closer inspection, a digital reproduction of the pages of a book is not necessarily accessible and findable. For this reason, the Bibliotheca Hertziana, among other institutions, is investing lot of resources in transcribing the content of digitizations, with the support of new technologies such as neural text recognition. Crucial points include the use of shared standards such as IIIF and TEI XML and open source platforms such as TEI Publisher to ensure long-term accessibility and preservation of digital content.
