Introduction to the Special Issue. From Data to Heritage: Semantic Enrichment, Archives, and Digital Libraries

This special issue of Umanistica Digitale, developed in conjunction with IRCDL 2025 (Information and Research science Connecting to Digital and Library science), presents extended versions of selected contributions from a conference explicitly designed to connect two complementary tracks: Computer Science Foundations for Digital Libraries and Digital Humanities. The issue showcases current research at the intersection of semantic technologies, digitization workflows, and computational analysis of cultural data. These contributions articulate a shared agenda for strengthening collaboration between digital-library research and humanities scholarship, emphasizing openness, accessibility, methodological transparency, and reusable infrastructures.
