The Census of 1841 in Tuscany was the first official data registry which tried to describe Tuscan population as a whole on the basis of the Granducato's territory. With the use of special ad-hoc created forms, all demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of families and single persons in "Granducato di Toscana" were described. Work is develope...

This paper presents the results of a terminological work on a reference corpus in the domain of Biomedicine. In particular, the research tends to analyse the use of certain terms in iomedicine in order to verify their change over the time with the aim of retrieving from the net the very essence of documentation. The terminological sample contains...

The work measures grey citations in the years 2012, 2013 and 2014 and then describes the features of GL documents cited in different areas of knowledge: Computational Linguistics, Computer Science and Engineering. With the aim of surveying a wide and varied range of resources, we selected a sample data based on the bibliographical references of art...

In the spring of 2014, a workshop took place at the Italian National Council of Research inPisa¹. The topic of this event dealt with policy development for grey literature resources. Some seventy participants from nine countries took an active part in the workshop - the outcome of which produced what is today known as the Pisa Declaration². This fi...

The goal of this project is to develop an open source repository of good practices in the field of grey literature. That which originated in monographic form will now open and expand to include content from the global grey literature community. Such practices will range from the production and processing of grey literature through to its distributi...

The survey is focused on the documentation produced by the European Commission (EC) projects involved in the Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (hereafter FP7) and managed by the Italian National Research Council (hereafter CNR). In particular, the Grey Literature (GL) available on CORDISi and European Projects websites...

The paper presents the results of a survey on researchers' attitudes and practices of data sharing in the area of Environmental sciences. It is based on an online questionnaire submitted to CNR researchers active in this disciplinary field, that has proved to be data intensive, collaborative and multidisciplinary. The study lies within the framewor...

Contributo presentato al convegno "Biblioteche digitali per la ricerca e la didattica: esperienze e prospettive". Parma, La Casa della Musica, 22 novembre 2003.

This paper is a description of an innovative project: the creation of a digital thematic library known as the Laguna di Venezia Digital Library (LVDL). It will collect published and unpublished scientific documentation about the Venice Lagoon. LVDL is a personalised extension of the ETRDL (ERCIM Technical Reference Digital Library) system, which is...

The IRPPS (Istituto di Ricerca sulla Popolazione e le Politiche Sociali) Library, established in 1981, through his acquisitions policy, has become, from a demographic subject library, a library with high specialized collections in the statistic studies. Semantic access follows a modified scheme of Population Index. In the framework of a co-operatio...

The ERCIM Technical Reference Digital Library service (ETRDL) was promoted by the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM) with the aim of managing grey literature produced by scientists working in the areas of information science and applied mathematics, making their research results immediately world wide available and...

Over the last ten years the impact of grey literature on conventional literature has frequently been studied. Studies have made use of bibliometric instruments used for citation analysis. Recently, this research has magnified attention on the impact of new forms of GL that have emerged along with the spread of Internet. This work aims to a) measure...

We describe the implementation of a Digital Library (DL) for a European Consortium of national research institutions. The DL has been developed as a specialized sub-collection of the US Networked Computer Science Technical Reference Library (NCSTRL). The paper will focus on our experience in catering for user requirements at three different levels:...

The development of a European digital library for grey literature is described. The aim has been to provide a digital library for scientists working in the areas of information science and applied mathematics and also to build a test-bed for research activities. The service has been implemented as part of NCSTRL (the US Networked Computer Science T...

The Common User Interfaces for the ERCIM Technical Reference Digital Library (ETRDL) are described and the underlying motivations for certain design decisions are discussed. The lessons that have been learnt from this experience are outlined and possible future developments are suggested. 1. Introduction Towards the end of 1997 the decision was tak...

: This paper illustrates the results of an investigation that aimed at clarifying to what extent the system that is used for implementing the ERCIM Technical Reference Digital Library can support the new metadata "relation with other documents". Particular solutions for this extension are discussed. 1. Introduction In a very next future, the techni...

Within the context of the DELOS1 Working Group, eight institutions of the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM) are currently collaborating on the installation of an ERCIM Technical Reference Digital Library (ETRDL). The aim is to implement and test a prototype infrastructure for networked access to a distributed mult...

The Italian Antarctic scientific community has produced and is producing sector data located in thematic centres specialised for discipline. The actual Information System, to manage and diffuse scientific data and information concerning the Italian Antarctic expeditions, is composed of a set of heterogeneous databases located in these thematic and...

The BELIEF (Bringing Europe's eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding Frontiers) Project is a Coordination Action funded by the European Commission in the context of the FP6 and FP7 Programmes. It aims to create a platform where e-Infrastructures providers and users can collaborate and exchange knowledge. This will help ensuring that e-Infrastructu...

This paper describes the Mecme Digital Library (Mediterranean Coastal Marine Environment DL) construction and its aims, its uniqueness and innovative purposes. Only another DL in Italy covers up the fields of oceanography and marine biology. It is LV DL -Laguna di Venezia DL.

Presentazione di SCHOLNET, sviluppo ulteriore di ETRDL, sotto l'egida della comunità europea, ovvero una infrastruttura di biblioteca digitale di supporto alla divulgazione della documentazione scientifica e didattica, progettata per coordinare servizi e risorse condivise in un ambiente dinamico e multi-istituzionale, che offrirà servizi compatibil...
