Once upon a time…
My story starts with curiosity. During my master’s thesis in Visual Arts at the University of Bologna, I could choose some courses from a long list. Among them, I noticed one course entitled “Digital Humanities”, taught by Professor Francesca Tomasi. Its program included an introduction to the field, showing a clear focus on practical applications, as many markup languages, such as HTML and XML, were listed. Taken by curiosity, I included it in my study program. I would say the impact, in the beginning, was strong: I saw lines of markup without really understanding the differences and motivation lying beyond the descriptors and their role. However, I didn’t give up and I spent much time understanding the differences, and why markup, controlled vocabularies, and structured data were important.
