Web Graphics Library

We are using WebGL for the visualization of image data, e.g. gained from Reflectance Transformation Imaging or other photographically gained textures that can be applied on 3D meshes. WebGL is a promising approach for data visualization of any kind (experiments.withgoogle.com/ collection/chrome).

International Image Interoperability Framework

Promotion and Enhancement of IIIF server technology for access and archiving. Con- cept of on the fly transcoding for video to offer a full feature media server optimized for archiving. Developing a high perfor- mance iiif complaint image server.

Data and Service Center for the Humanities

DaSCH

Research data in the humanities needs to be sustainable, and access to digital resources must be possible over a long period. The DaSCH, located in Switzerland, offers a centralized infrastructure based on flexible and extensible software, modern technologies, and open standards. This makes it straightforward to migrate existing humanities research project databases with limited life spans to a standards-based form for long-term preservation and reuse.

FORS

FORS is the Swiss Centre of Expertise in the Social Sciences. FORS implements large-scale national and international surveys, offers data and research information services to researchers and academic institutions, and conducts methodological and thematic research.

DLCM

The "Data Life-Cycle Management" (DLCM), was launched to catch up with the new directives in research data management required by funding agencies and publishers. The DLCM project involves eight partners institutions. Given that each partner institution has already major issues in data management to resolve, the involved national funding program provided us with the just-in-time opportunity to gather our respective forces and to grapple with this important and complex topic so as to serve the whole Swiss research community.

Internationale buchwissenschaftliche Gesellschaft

The International Book Society (IBG) has been an interdisciplinary discussion forum for all those interested in the medium of the book, its historical development and current function since 1999.

Università di Verona

The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures promotes research, education and diffusion of knowledge in foreign languages and literatures.

dhcenter

The Digital Humanities Laboratory develops new computational approaches for rediscovering the past and anticipating the future. The projects conducted at the lab range from the reconstruction of ancient cities to the algorithms influence in writing. The Venice Time Machine is the DHLAB flagship project, in partnership with Ca’ Foscari University. It aspires to digitize 1000 years of historical records and make them accessible.

Museumsverbund Basel-Land

Together with the Amt für Kultur Baselland and the Museumsverbund Baselland, we have an agreement for the exchange of know-how in order to find solutions for a future-oriented and coordinated handlingof digitisation, digital long-term archiving as well as accessibility for thepublic and research.

International Society for the Empirical Study of Literature

The aim of the International Society for the Empirical Study of Literature (Internationale Gesellschaft für Empirische Literaturwissenschaft; IGEL) is to advance empirical literary research through interdisciplinary and international cooperation. The Society supports efforts to apply, or facilitate the application of, scientific methods to study of the structure and function of literature, especially its aesthetic function.

Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca
