Abstract
The article aims to reflect on the Lodovico media library, a digital repository preserving the digitised cultural heritage of the Emilia-Romagna region. The first part covers the project’s history and the challenges encountered during its setup phase, and we also explore the co-creation approach employed in defining the metadata architecture. The discussion extends by outlining the key features of shared metadata, illustrating their application to diverse digital objects within the Lodovico media library. Following a concise examination of the methodology for collecting/creating data and the initial research findings, the article concludes by highlighting the project’s potential in the realm of automatic handwriting recognition processes.
