On April 28 1947, a raft set sail off the Peruvian harbour of Callao. On board were a six-men crew and one parrot: for three months, they would drift on 7,000 km of endless Pacific sea. This is the story of the Kon-Tiki expedition, the main idea of our Linked Open Data project.

This project has been realized as the final examination project for the Digital Heritage and Multimedia course (Interaction Media Design + Museology, Museography and Virtual Environments) held by Sofia Pescarin and Simona Caraceni. It was designed by Francesca Borriello and Laura Travaglini, currently attending the Master's Degree in Digital Humanities and Digital Knowledge, University of Bologna, a/y 2021-22.

This project is a small-scale Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) project aimed at transcribing a fifteenth-century Italian manuscript by training a model on Transkribus. We performed an annotation campaign to obtain high-quality data to train the model, then trained the model on the Transkribus platform and finally, we evaluated the obtained model.
