Migliorare la conoscenza, la gestione e la valorizzazione dell’antico patrimonio numismatico: il progetto “NUMMI DIGITALI” per il medagliere del Museo Archeologico Regionale “A. Salinas” di Palermo

Abstract

“NUMMI DIGITALI” is a project that, through the close interrelationship between numismatic-archaeological methodologies and an information technology approach, aims to enhance the numismatic collection of the “A. Salinas” Regional Archaeological Museum in Palermo. The main objectives of the project have been successfully completed and include (1) the creation of a digital database (https://nummidigitali.it/) in an open format, which has been aligned with the national cataloguing standards of the ICCD (Central Institute for Cataloguing and Documentation) of the Ministry of Culture (MiC) and the methodological guidelines of the National Plan for the Digitalisation of Cultural Heritage (PND), in order to make the data interoperable and shareable, in accordance with the LOD (Linked Open Data) paradigm; (2) the linking of the database to the web through a front-end that ensures accessibility to external users, thereby enabling genuine engagement through the possibilities offered by ICT (Information and Communication Technology); (3) the activation of interactive communication processes through high-resolution images and 3D reconstructions featuring points of interest linked to hypertexts and/or multimedia resources.
