Archeologia in 140 caratteri: l’esperienza su Twitter di due musei archeologici nazionali

Marina Lo Blundo, Anna Maria Marras

Abstract

The 2014 Barcamp conference, the first in Italy dedicated to this topic, was focused on the way two archaeological museums are using Twitter and the 140 word limit to share their collections and experiences. The social networks have become important communication tools for museums, however, having an account is not enoughto be social. It is necessary to have an organized structure, competent persons, and a communication strategy planned according to the knowledge of a specific audience and, of course, according to which social tools are used.

Il riuso dei dati in archeologia. II Barcamp

Valeria Boi, Luca Corsato, Anna Maria Marras, Maurizio Napolitano, Cettina Santagati

Abstract

The 2014 edition of the Barcamp on the re-use of data in archaeology reflected discussions that took place during the ArcheoFOSS workshop in 2013. The discussion focused on the main themes related to the re-use of data, such as: online accessibility (open access), the use of open formats (open format) and, of course, the real data re-use (open data). In 2014 the discussion moved on to the production of data, on the dynamics of their re-use and on the role played by the different professionals involved. In order to provide a complete overview of this theme two of the main figures in the Italian open data scenario, Luca Corsato and Maurizio Napolitano, were invited to join the Barcamp. Their contribution addressed the various aspects related to data re-use more comprehensively. In this brief report the protagonists and the issues raised during the discussion are presented. The liveliness of the discussion underlines the need for these questions and the related issues to be addressed in institutional offices.

Una volta era il webGIS. La cartografia archeologica sul web: passato, presente e prospettive future

Anna Maria Marras

Abstract

The aim of this paper is a critical survey of webGIS in Archaeology and its real usability. Generally, webGIS users can search, visualize, print, download and, in a few cases, upload data; so the system seems to be the ideal platform to share information. However this wonderland does not exist in the real world. First of all, because it is not easy to find projects on-line: wrong or expired links, slow page loading, system crashing. Second, because, even when it is possible to download or upload data, bridges or connections between different systems are missing. Starting from the point of view of a web user, different webGIS projects on-line were surveyed, in order to give a global overview of Internet cartography applied to archaeology.
