The Biblio_ARCCA Project – Campania Knowledge Architecture for Archives and Libraries aims to promote the dissemination of digital culture through the use of new tools for accessing the heritage preserved in regional archives and libraries. In particular, this first phase involves entities that have signed up to the Expression of Interest approved by DD 71 of May 3, 2018, and published in BURC 33 on May 7, 2018.
The strategy adopted for the development of the Biblio_ARCCA Project actions focuses on innovative actions applied to the productive-technological domain of archives and libraries, with the aim of ensuring the enhancement of information and communication technologies and the dissemination of e-culture through the creation and dissemination of a new tool entirely based on services and applications for digital inclusion and accessibility, which are also fundamental for the modernization and acceleration of economic growth in the region.
The project aims to preserve and make available in a digital environment the documentary records produced and disseminated throughout the region. To this end, an initial campaign has been launched to digitize the archival and library heritage, with the participation of archives and libraries belonging to universities, local authorities, religious institutions, cultural bodies, and associations.
The digital collection of archival documents reflects the institutional and administrative history of the attractions; their relationships with the territory, communities, and stakeholders; their cultural production; and the main evidence of their activities.
The digital collection of bibliographic material reflects the intellectual and scientific development of the region over time, its diverse cultural identities and publishing enterprises, and the remarkable wealth of recorded knowledge it possesses.
Overall, this is an extraordinarily valuable heritage that is being preserved and, at the same time, made available both for research and studies concerning Campania and for citizens who are curious and interested in its cultural and civil history.
The Biblio_ARCCA platform - Campania Knowledge Architecture for Archives and Libraries is designed as a true management and information ecosystem characterized by a distributed, service-oriented environment capable of supporting both cultural operators in the management and curation of widespread archival and library heritage and users of cultural content through output interfaces and integrated services available online.
The descriptive system underlying the regional platform is based on an information integration model that focuses on identifying common entities (institutions, individuals, families, cultural sites, themes) that act as aggregating nodes and, as such, cut across the various descriptive domains (bibliographic, archival, historical-artistic, demo-ethno-anthropological, etc.). The recognition of these entities, in a multi-domain system, is entrusted to an innovative data extraction system (Data Advanced Processing) that allows for the dynamic classification of both structured information (information sheets) and unstructured information (digital content produced by digitization campaigns).

The result, supervised and validated by domain experts, gives rise to the Knowledge Graph of the Regional Ecosystem.
