NUMMI DIGITALI: a Database Online for the Enhancement of the Numismatic Collection of the A. Salinas Archaeological Museum in Palermo

Abstract

NUMMI DIGITALI is a project which, thanks to the close interrelation between numismatic-archaeological methodologies and the IT approach, aims to enhance the numismatic collection of the Regional Archaeological Museum A. Salinas of Palermo. The main objectives of the project were completed and involved: 1). the creation of a digital database (https://nummidigitali.it/), in open format, which was aligned with the national cataloguing standards of ICCD of the Ministry of Culture (MiC) and the methodological guidelines of the National Plan for the Digitisation of Cultural Heritage (PND), in order to make the data interoperable and shareable, according to the LOD paradigm; 2) the connection of the database with the web through a front-end that guarantees accessibility to the external public and therefore real use through the potential offered by ICT; 3) the activation of interactive communication processes through high resolution images and 3D renderings equipped with points of interest with references to hypertexts and/or multimedia.
