KNOWLEDGE SHARING SYSTEMS IN A HISTORICAL HERITAGE CONTEXT : AN EXPLORATORY STUDY

Once discovered, each archaeological find starts a sort of new "life-cycle", throughout which it will cross several events, sometime repeatedly. Each find brings with it a lot of information (about its nature and history). Also each event it will cross (restoration, study, exhibition...) generates a lot of additional information. All these information are useful, and often decisive, in order to deepen the scientific contribution received by the find, to make every time the best decision about its management, and in the end to give a proper sense to its discovery and overall to its expensive conservation. Despite the fundamental role of information in such domain, they are often under estimated, not specifically managed, almost always not filed in digital archives, and then not available to persons different from the ones implied in each single event. The problem of the use and sharing of the knowledge potentially brought by an archaeological find is further increased by the presence throughout the life-cycle of several diverse figures (archaeologists, restorers...), that usually work separately. It is then highly interesting to examine a project promoted by an Italian regional Monuments Department, together with other six Italian and European Departments, in order to design and produce a powerful and simple to implement solution to such problem. By adopting an active research approach, this paper will describe under a knowledge management perspective the birth and develop of this project, whose aims are the capture and organization of all the knowledge linked to a single archaeological find, and its sharing to all the people that have to use it for reasons of work or study.
