IRCDL – the Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries – is a yearly deadline for Italian researchers on Digital Libraries related topics.
The CULTURA Environment: the IPSA Collection is the paper by Maristella Agosti, Nicola Ferro, Nicola Orio and Chiara Ponchia who has been submitted to the 10th edition – IRCDL 2014 – to present and disseminate the final results of the CULTURA project.
One of the focus of IRCDL 2014, hosted by the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Padua, was on emphasizing the multidisciplinary nature of the research on digital libraries which not only goes from computer science to humanities but also crosses among areas in the same field ranging, for example, from archival to librarian sciences or from information management systems to new knowledge environments.
This is a continued challenge for the DL field and there is the need to continue to contribute to improve the cooperation between the many communities that share common objectives.
