Evaluating Cultural Heritage Information Access Systems

This paper is a result of a panel on "Evaluating Cultural Heritage Information Access Systems". Authors reflected on this topic from the perspective of different fields, ranging from computer science (Giuseppe Santucci), to archival and librarian sciences (Mariella Guercio) and digital humanities (Francesca Tomasi). Authors were presented with four specific topics proposed by Tiziana Catarci: Cultural Heritage Information Access System vs Digital Library: similarities and differences; Accessing Raw Material vs interpretation and curated presentation of such material; Dimensions of the User Experience; Evaluation coordinates: quality and completeness of the information, tools to make sense out of it, usability, accessibility, open access
