Abstract

This contribution presents the work conducted within the second work package of the Humanities and Heritage Italian Science Cloud (H2IOSC) infrastructural project, dedicated to "Landscaping and Building Communities", with the aim of defining a methodology for mapping the current status and availability of resources and technologies and enhancing their utilization in the Humanities and Cultural Heritage sectors. The mapping activity involved a comprehensive investigation encompassing language technologies, digital humanities, and heritage science disciplines in Italy. The aim of the landscaping activity is to collect information on the latest and most prevalent resources, tools, communities, best practices, standards, and projects developed within the Heritage, Social Sciences, and Digital Humanities communities. In this project, the four partnering infrastructures - CLARIN, DARIAH, E-RIHS, and OPERAS - collaborate closely to develop the best strategies for engaging and meeting the needs of their target research communities as well as to identify the set of priority items (resources, tools, and services) to FAIRify and onboard them into the national MarketPlace.
