GREEN & BLUE - THE COLORS OF THE FUTURE FOR A SUSTAINABLE AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY

19.03 • 15:30 - 16:30

Green and blue, the environment and innovation. Today more than ever it’s necessary to satisfy the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs and this has become an element of constant interest and attention. In fact, it is evident that the linear economy model must be replaced by a new model that places the sustainability of the system at the center. In this approach, technology becomes an enabler for a new ecosystem, a more sustainable ecosystem, in which green culture, in business and in the life of all of us, are its driving forces.

THE NETWORK I WOULD LIKE

19.03 • 17:00 - 18:00

During the social pandemic, online stores, search engines guaranteed essential services or rights, becoming more "human" but also more powerful. TVs have acquired a new centrality, businesses, public administration and citizens have expanded their digital dimension in an unthinkable way.

New opportunities have been created but also new gaps; there was a technological overdose that swept away old habits but also paved the way for abuse and / or addictions. Misinformation gallops. How to find a new balance?

A CULTURAL HERITAGE IN SHARED DATA: LODS FOR BANK ARCHIVES

18.03 • 17:30 - 19:00

The Intesa Sanpaolo Historical Archive produces a large amount of original information, the result of the work of the archivists. A valuable heritage, drawn from primary sources, which wants to be made available through Linked Open Data to users of the network and to institutions that hold similar assets, to increase shared knowledge of the history of the Italian business and economy. The tool proposed for sharing these resources is an ontology, created with Regesta.exe, to represent the information of the historical bank archives on the basis of an abstract model of description of the documents produced in the course of their activity.
