Beside this topic the metadata issues will be pointed out. Afterwards, digital transcription tools and text recognition tasks will be highlighted. Highlights on digital textual scholarship will introduce the text encoding and the annotation topics. This talk ends with an overview of tools for visualizing, indexing and searching textual content.

Abstract
The contribution illustrates fundamental aspects concerning the digitization of a historical archive for scholarly studies. During the first part of the talk I briefly introduce the standard reference model for digital archives, thereafter, I will show some features and technologies about the production of digital facsimiles from original primary sources. Beside this topic the metadata issues will be pointed out. Afterwards, digital transcription tools and text recognition tasks will be highlighted. Highlights on digital textual scholarship will introduce the text encoding and the annotation topics. This talk ends with an overview of tools for visualizing, indexing and searching textual content.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
