About

Contents and aims

«Archeologia e Calcolatori» Interactive Atlas of Digital Images (A&C_IADI) is an open-access portal presenting 30 years of history of Archaeological Computing through the images of the journal «Archeologia e Calcolatori».

The portal aims at valorising and sharing the approximately 4,000 images contained in the volumes of the journal and of its Supplements series until 2020. In line with the FAIR principles which have informed the journal’s policies through the years, the intent is not only to make those resources available for fruition and reuse (under the CC BY-NC ND 4.0 International license ), but also to enhance their information potential by annotating them with descriptive metadata.

Browsing

IADI's home page shows card-like buttons to browse images by volume, grouped into journal and Supplements issues. Clicking on a volume opens a view listing all the articles published in that specific volume.

Articles are identified by their publication order within the volume and by the short citation. Hovering with the mouse over an article card shows the article’s full title.

After selecting an article, a gallery view opens with all its figures and truncated captions. At the bottom of the image gallery in the article view the full article citation is included as well as a “Read article” button that opens the article’s page in A&C’s website.

Clicking on any figure in the gallery opens a slideshow of images with full captions, allowing zooming, full-screen view and download of the image

Searching

The search feature provides the possibility to search for journal and/or Supplements’ images by articles’ author(s) and publication year, as well as by keywords in articles’ titles and in image captions.
