[Article in Journal] A Resource Hub for Interoperability and Data Integration in Heritage Research: The H-SeTIS Database

This article discusses the Milan branch of CNR-ISPC’s contributions to the Humanities and Cultural Heritage Italian Open Science Cloud (H2IOSC) Project, which aims to enhance data integration in Heritage Science.
