Semantic Architectures for Digital Cultural Heritage

The research focuses on analysing the semantic and semiotic structures through which cultural andinformational contents are collected, organized, and transformed into structured datasets capable ofpowering language models and conversational artificial intelligence systems applied to the communication,enjoyment and dissemination of cultural heritage. Methodological protocols will be defined for theconstruction of nativelycoherent, scientifically sound, and adaptive datasets, capable of supportingpersonalized dialogic interaction and immersive exploratory pathways within the archaeological andmonumental sites involved. These paths will be explored according to the paradigm of a pragmatistphilosophy of gesture. The past is revisited through its digitization and the transformation of its semiotic andsemantic forms: within digital platforms, historical sites and objects are translated into iconic representationsandsymbolic structures.
