Abstract

The Sapienza Digital Library (SDL) is a research project undertaken by Sapienza Università di Roma, the largest Europe’s campus, and the Italian supercomputer center Cineca.

The SDL project aims to build an infrastructure supporting preservation, management and dissemination of the past, present and future digital resources, that contain the overall intellectual production of the Sapienza University. The solution adopted tries to find a tradeoff between the standardization of the digital processes and products (that allows a cost-effective centralized and shared management and curation), and the preservation of the peculiarities of scientific materials, belonging to disparate knowledge disciplines (that need to be digitally available for future initiatives, more specifically tailored to the designated communities).
