The goal of the course project is to map the 188 cognitive biases as listed in Cognitive Biases Codex, using the technologies developed in the Semantic Web community, creating an ontology that would allow to describe these cognitive phenomena. This group focuses its work only on a part of it, namely “We simplify probabilities and numbers to make them easier to think about”, “We think we know what other people are thinking”.

This project involves the development of a demo for an interactive experience to be included in the Giovanni Capellini Museum in Bologna. It consists of an interactive story that can be undertaken by one or two users and revolves around the encounter between Giovanni Capellini, a geologist and the museum's creator, and Native American populations during his trip in North America.

The SEDT project aims to catalog and transcribe the handwritten letters of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle during his service in the Boer War (1899-1902). The work will be concretized into a website with a digital edition of Doyle’s known wartime letters that will contain: the images of documents , their transcription, following the setting of a diplomatic edition and an xml version.

Metascript is an open source tool that provides a basic textual analysis framework dedicated to the comparison between an original text (novel, short story etc.) and its film transposition (film script). The goal of Metascript is to provide a guideline for the markup and metadata approach of different but connected texts such as a book with its script for audiovisual transposition.

For the final project of the "Semantic Digital Libraries" course, we utilized Transkribus to develop two models capable of automatically recognizing the handwriting of two of Aldrovandi's copyists.
