Application of the IBiSCo Data Canter for cultural heritage projects

The hardware architecture of the IBiSCo Data Center is characterized by computing and storage nodes. The storage equipment is also functional for interdisciplinary scientific cooperation, in particular for the MAGIC project, born from the collaboration between the "Ettore Pancini" Department of Physics and the Department of Humanistic Studies of the University of Naples "Federico II". The objective is to create a Service Center, designated for the digitization and archiving of ancient manuscripts and books, preserved in national and international libraries, in line with the digital transformation, which is affecting cultural heritage. The project, in its various phases, involves a corpus of illuminated manuscript manuscripts of the Divine Comedy, incunabula and sixteenth-century manuscripts from the Pontaniana Academy and the Society of Sciences, Letters and Arts, selected manuscripts preserved at the Girolamini Library in Naples. The archiving and analysis process requires the use of a Data Center for the management of large amounts of data, which guarantees data security, as well as a monitoring system, which allows an operator to insert the file names into a database and all the corresponding metadata, check the file formats (the original very high resolution images and the images created from them), the digitization progress and the percentage of storage occupancy.
