DigiTile Library - Tiles and Ceramics on line

Funding source: FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia)

Application initiative: Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Lisboa

Partners: Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Biblioteca de Arte da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Instituto de História de Arte da Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Lisboa, Centro de História de Além-Mar da Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art, Instituto de História de Arte da Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade Nova de Lisboa

Situation: under development (initiated in 2010)23


Projeto DIGITILE

Objective:To create an online digital library devoted to studies about Tiles and Ceramics. The creation of such a tool arises from the need to analyze, publish and disseminate the unpublished studies undertaken by João Miguel dos Santos Simões (1907-1972) as a complement to the corpus collected in "Tiles in Portugal" published by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in the1960s. The researcher carried out a vast work of tiles inventory in Portugal (including Madeira and Azores) and in Brazil.

Collaborative feature: Participation of librarians and art historians

Dynamic structure: it envisions the addition of new contents ( new collections and new studies)

Main activities: Research in History of Art, bibliographic control of patrimonial collections to foster access and dissemination of digitized resources 24

Projeto ROSSIO


Objective: The core mission of ROSSIO will be to aggregate, organize, interrelate, contextualize, enrich and disseminate a unique stock of digital contents provided by research activities, archives, libraries, art collections and data banks. These contents belong to a set of key institutions, joined together in a consortium to fulfill the goals of a common action plan. Contents will be subject to an agreed metadata framework built upon international standards, and enriched by contextual information, timelines and digital maps.

Collaborative feature / Dynamic structure

26

Partnerships


Secure funds to digitize collections

Acquire specific information systems to create new services and to disseminate information resources

Gain recognition within the scientific community

27


These strategies can be summarized in the expression “ Growing with the public” and seem to reveal potential to contribute to sustainable growth and eventually to innovation.
