Two projects of ISTI have won at the international initiative DIGITAL HUMANITIES AWARDS 2015.
DanteSources (http://dantesources.org) has won in the "Best DH Tool or Suite of Tools" category. DanteSources is a Digital Library, based on an RDF ontology, which allows retrieving information about Dante Alighieri's primary sources, i.e., the works of other authors that Dante cites in his texts. DanteSources is the result of the collaboration between the Digital Libraries group of the NeMIS Lab of ISTI-CNR and the Department of Philology, Literature and Linguistics of the University of Pisa.
First runner up in the same category was 3DHOP: 3D Heritage Online Presenter (http://3dhop.net/), developed by the Visual Computing Lab. Jackson Pollock: Alchemy in 3D (http://vcg.isti.cnr.it/alchemy/) has won in the "Best Use of DH for Public Engagement" category. The Visual Computing Lab, in collaboration with the Opificio delle Pietre Dure and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, has carried out the three-dimensional diagnostic analysis of the painting "Alchemy" by Jackson Pollock.
