THATCamp, 23-26 March 2011, Florence, Italy
THATCamp (The Humanities and Technology Camp), focused specifically on the Digital Humanities and Digital History. Described as an “un-conference” and organised for the first time in Italy, THATCamp placed emphasis on pro-active participation, sharing knowledge and experiences gained from day-to-day research activities, with the aim of fostering peer-to-peer co-operation on common interests and priorities. THATCamp aimed at bringing together Italian and European Digital Humanists to deliberate digital scholarship and methods used today. The event was hosted by the Department of History and Civilisation of the European University Institute in Florence, Italy, and is supported by several European scholarly institutions, including the Institute of Science & Information Technologies (ISTI), National Research Council of Italy (CNR), the co-ordinating partner of DL.org.
Presenter: On Wednesday 23 March, Vittore Casarosa, National Research Council (Italy), presented the DL.org Digital Library Reference Model as a key output stemming from the DELOS Network of Excellence, enhanced and expanded by working in synergy with an international team of experts.
