Con Alessandro Codello

Abstract

Venice Long Data (VLD) is an interdisciplinary research project that aims to address the historical analysis from an integrated point of view, relying, in the Venetian context, on the historical database offered by the State Archive of Venice (ASVe), using techniques from Big Data analysis, Complex Networks and in general relating to quantitative modeling.
The approach aims to study history from a MACRO perspective, complementary to the MICRO perspective usually conducted, always starting from the original sources and using the most modern techniques available to deal with the transcription and analysis of historical sources.
The dual scope is to obtain a historical meta-database representing a fully searchable interconnected digital version of the ASVe and, above all, to create the basis for a quantitative study of the history of Venice, Europe and the Mediterranean.
