The Middle East Librarians Association (MELA)_2024 Annual Meeting
November 7, 2024 - November 9, 2024
Riccardo Amerigo Vigliermo (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia) participated in the 2024 Middle East Librarians Association (MELA) Annual Meeting, presenting the paper “The Digital Maktaba Project: Building an Intelligent System for Cataloguing Non-Latin Script HeritagesT”.
The Digital Maktaba (DM) project, developed within ITSERR and funded by PNRR, focuses on AI-driven cataloguing and metadata extraction for multilingual, non-Latin script texts. Using OCR, NLP, and machine learning, it enhances the management and accessibility of cultural heritage collections, with a key test case being the “Giorgio La Pira“ library in Palermo.
