Description: The aim of the project ArsNova is to study for the first time, through an interdisciplinary and comparative approach, the corpus of poetry in Latin, Italian and French, set to music by the polyphonists of the so called Ars Nova, a label conventionally used to indicate the most sophisticated forms of sacred and secular polyphony created primarily in France and Italy during the fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries – one of the highest artistic expressions of medieval culture.

Description: The project proposes to uncover and analyse the most extensive archival records in existence on the private and professional lives of medieval minstrels, their cultural backgrounds and the patterns of their agency through courts and cities. This research is complemented by the study of a specific repertory of Catalan lyrical texts, which will be reassessed on the basis of their performative component.

Description: In consideration of the role attributed by the EC to RIs for the development of the ERA and following the recommendations of linking the national agendas to the ESFRI Roadmap, elaborating national plans for an harmonised approach towards investments and use of RIs, H2IOSC will support the implementation of a coherent strategy for RIs development and integration in Italy, optimizing the use of the most relevant assets, upgrading and implementing the facilities, as a result of needs arising from the reference communities, gathered from a comprehensive assessment and prioritisation work. H2IOSC aims at creating a federated and inclusive cluster of RIs in the ESFRI domain of Social and Cultural Innovation to allow researchers from various disciplines in the Humanities, Language technologies and the Cultural Heritage sectors collaborate in data and compute intensive research.
OVI is in charge of the leadership of WP1 "Project and Financial Management, Quality Assurance" and WP4 "RIs Nodes and Resources Interoperability".

Description: The QM project proposes an intervention,
articulated on several fronts, to strengthen research conditions in the sectors
History of Italian, Italian Linguistics and Philology in the field of Digital
Humanities. It is also open to further developments and ensures long-term
sustainability, thanks to the support of the DARIAH-ERIC infrastructure.
The mission of OVI-CNR is the compiling of an
Italian Historical Dictionary. Until now, activities have focused on its oldest
section, i.e., the Tesoro della Lingua Italiana delle Origini (TLIO), connected
to the Corpus OVI, containing all the texts written in an Italo-Romance
variety before the 14th century.

Description: This
project intends to build on Prin 2015, dedicated to the study of medieval
Occitan texts and their early reception from two complementary standpoints: firstly,
the songbooks as handwritten vehicles for lyric poetry and associated texts
(such as prose biographies, compositions in narrative-didactic meter), and
secondly prose texts of a different character (i.e. didactic, devotional,
scientific). Our main goal is the creation of a textual archive accessible in
two different modes (diplomatic transcriptions and interpretative editions) and
equipped with a powerful digital query system.

Description: The VIS
project aims at enhancing the linguistic-cultural heritage of the Venetian
language by means of philological work, lexical study and computer processing
on a significant number of texts (14th-18th centuries) from fields or genres
that have not yet been adequately studied. The project aims to: a) broaden and
consolidate the knowledge of the linguistic and cultural history of the
Venetian vernacular (and therefore of the dialect); b) increase the production
and circulation of open-access critical digital editions by creating
instruments for the archiving and study of texts that will be gradually
presented in a philologically ascertained form; c) make new quality materials
available for the corpus on which the VEV-Vocabolario storico-etimologico del
veneziano is based; the VEV project was started in September 2020 and is
co-directed by the applicant (for a description of the VEV see Tomasin-D'Onghia
2021 as well as the details provided in Part B).

Description: The project aims at creating an on-line atlas of Old Italian based on the corpus of the OVI. The «points» on the atlas are the places which have testi significativi («significant texts», i.e. those which better represent the local variety). The forms are provided with different types of information: lexical (belonging to a lexical item of the corpus), morphosyntactic (inflexional categories) and historical-phonological (e.g. relationship of legno with Latin l‑, tonic ǐ, -gn‑, -u). The atlas will help both the editor and the linguist: the first will find a grid which will assist him in localizing texts, the latter will have a tool to observe geolinguistic patterns or to reconstruct the system he is studying.
OVI has created the web platform and provides the software for drafting and querying the atlas.
