The availability of digitised cultural heritage content held by archives and other memory institutions improves their visibility, facilitate and increases access to information, allowing new kinds of research of digital heritage, namely Digital Humanities. This study intends to report how Municipal Archives of mainland Portugal are ensuring access to their digitized cultural heritage content. For this purpose, an analysis was held to collect data about online catalogues with digital objects linked to the archival description in 278 Municipal Archives of mainland Portugal. The data revealed that the openness of the primary information sources preserved by the municipal archives, which can be reused by all those who need them and particularly by digital humanists, is still in infancy.
Este artigo aborda a veia bibliófila de Frei Francisco de São Luís Saraiva evidenciada desde o seu ingresso na Ordem Beneditina, com apenas 14 anos de idade, e o seu percurso pelas bibliotecas e arquivos da Ordem enquanto visitador e cartorário até à sua nomeação para Guarda-Mor do Real Arquivo da Torre do Tombo. Essa vivência, bem como seu o gosto pela investigação histórica, tendo por base os documentos dos arquivos monásticos, permitiu-lhe conhecer o estado em que se encontravam esses arquivos o que o levou a manifestar uma preocupação constante com as instalações, a conservação e o “arranjo” dos documentos.
In this chapter, we will debate about the free-to-air model of interactive digital television (iTVD) developed in Brazil, about its characteristics, and the interactive digital audiovisual content produced for this type of television. In the Introduction, we reflect about different aspects of the social and economic uneven development of Latin America and Caribean, especially in Brazil. We also discuss about the concepts of innovation, strategic development, and how we believe that it is necessary to include communication, education and culture inside the debates about innovation and technology. After this, we show the Brazilian model of free-to-air digital television, a unique model in the world, because of its middleware Ginga, a Brazilian technology developed in open source, that permits free interactivity, mobility, interoperability, multiprogramming, accessibility and portability for everyone. In the third part, we focus on the BRAZIL 4D Project, developed by Communications Company Brazil (EBC), a public company, using free-to-air interactive digital public television and telecommunications to offer information, fiction, and public services to low-income population through remote control. This Project contributes to the social and digital inclusion of Brazilian people without access to information and communication technologies (ICTs), about 14.5 million of families or 60 million of low-income people.
A mediação exercida pelos profissionais da informação parece assumir um papel decisivo na apropriação da informação. Daí que, enquanto conceito operatório da Ciência da Informação (CI), a mediação seja objeto de investigação. Este trabalho tem como objetivos conhecer e mapear o interesse que a CI tem mostrado pelo tema e confirmar a sua importância, através de uma análise qualitativa e quantitativa da produção científica dos últimos dez anos, em Portugal e no Brasil. Para tal, foi realizada uma revisão da literatura e um estudo de caso de caráter analítico e exploratório, com levantamento de dados entre 2007 e 2017. Os resultados mostram uma diferença acentuada entre países, sendo que o Brasil lidera os estudos na área, sobretudo entre 2011 e 2014. Conclui-se que o conceito é relevante na CI e que é alvo da atenção de encontros científicos e de periódicos de relevo académico.
