Niente su di noi, senza di noi. Biblioteche per l’inclusione

Federico Ruozzi (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia) and Domenico Ciccarello (University of Palermo) presented the paper “Digital Maktaba: Enhancing Library Inclusivity through Automated Knowledge Extraction from Multi-Alphabet Digital Collections” at the AIB national conference “Niente su di noi, senza di noi. Biblioteche per l’inclusione.”

The Digital Maktaba project leverages AI-driven technologies like OCR, NLP, and machine learning to improve the cataloging and accessibility of multilingual, non-Latin script bibliographic resources. By promoting inclusivity in library systems, it aligns with the UN’s 2030 Agenda, fostering equitable access to knowledge.
