“…Typically, they have been developed in the context of research projects, such as MASTER [Le Bourgeois and Kaileh 2004], MEMORIAL [Antonacopoulos and Karatzas 2004], D-SCRIBE [Gatos et al 2004a[Gatos et al , 2004b, CULTURA [Agosti et al 2013], PROMISE [Gäde et al 2011], and COLLATE [Frommholz et al 2003]. However, they neither are tailored to process epigraphs nor consider the temporal dimension which, as stated before, is of particular importance while studying cultural aspects of a historical period.…”

StudyingGreek and Latin cultural heritage has always been considered essential to the understanding of important aspects of the roots of current European societies. However, only a small fraction of the total production of texts from ancient Greece and Rome has survived up to the present, leaving many gaps in the historiographic records. Epigraphy, which is the study of inscriptions (epigraphs), helps to fill these gaps. In particular, the goal of epigraphy is to clarify the meanings of epigraphs; to classify their uses according to their dating and cultural contexts; and to study aspects of the writing, the writers, and their "consumers." Although several research projects have recently been promoted for digitally storing and retrieving data and metadata about epigraphs, there has actually been no attempt to apply data mining technologies to discover previously unknown cultural aspects. In this context, we propose to exploit the temporal dimension associated with epigraphs (dating) by applying a data mining method for novelty detection. The main goal is to discover relational novelty patterns-that is, patterns expressed as logical clauses describing significant variations (in frequency) over the different epochs, in terms of relevant features such as language, writing style, and material. As a case study, we considered the set of Inscriptiones Christianae Vrbis Romae stored in Epigraphic Database Bari, an epigraphic repository. Some patterns discovered by the data mining method were easily deciphered by experts since they captured relevant cultural changes, whereas others disclosed unexpected variations, which might be used to formulate new questions, thus expanding the research opportunities in the field of epigraphy.

“…Digital scientific resources generally have a powerful search engine that allows searching the necessary information according to specified criteria quickly and efficiently. Access to data arrays distributed in digital scientific Internet resources provides a solution to the problems of availability and rapid dissemination of research results [6], [7]. Technologies of digital scientific resources give a possibility to solve the problem of long-term storage of scientific information [8][9][10].…”

The science in the digital age focuses on interdisciplinary research as the main driver of the development. Modern studies of semantic and thematic contexts taken from the digital scientific resources are important for tasks of information technology use in science, education, management and business. As a rule, interdisciplinary research emerges in response to the trends in social and economic development. Socio-political and cultural environment has also a great influence on the introduction of new terminology into the scientific discourse. The delay of scientific discourse regarding the public discourse generates problems of both scientific and philosophical nature. Furthermore, those challenges influence the education system, making demands for new curricula and courses, which, among other things, reflect the categorical and conceptual basis of the new subject areas. The actual objective is to reveal the trends in the terminological landscape of developing interdisciplinary research directions. The present study offers the Synthetic Method, which combines various approaches and tools of Digital Humanities. This Method allows using context query for the search for information resources; the context knowledge explication and clarification of the terminological landscape of interdisciplinary scientific direction “Digital Economy: e-governance and smart technology”.

Classical Greek and Latin culture is the very foundation of the identity of modern Europe. Today, a variety of modern subjects and disciplines have their roots in the classical world: from philosophy to architecture, from geometry to law. However, only a small fraction of the total production of texts from ancient Greece and Rome has survived up to the present days, leaving many ample gaps in the historiographic records. Epigraphy, which is the study of inscriptions (epigraphs), aims at plug this gap. In particular, the goal of Epigraphy is to clarify the meanings of epigraphs, classifying their uses according to dates and cultural contexts, and drawing conclusions about the writing and the writers. Indeed, they are a kind of cultural heritage for which several research projects have recently been promoted for the purposes of preservation, storage, indexing and on-line usage. In this paper, we describe the system EDB (Epigraphic Database Bari) which stores about 30,000 Christian inscriptions of Rome, including those published in the Inscriptiones Christianae Vrbis Romae septimo saeculo antiquiores, nova series editions. EDB provides, in addition to the possibility of storing metadata, the possibility of i) supporting information retrieval through a thesaurus based query engine, ii) supporting time-based analysis of epigraphs in order to detect and represent novelties, and iii) geo-referencing epigraphs by exploiting a spatial database
