An AI-based Approach and Platform for the Preservation and Exploitation of Knowledge on the History of Computing (short paper)

There is an urgent need for preserving and making available the knowledge related to the history of computing, for research and education purposes. This is a peculiar kind of Cultural Heritage, since it tightly mixes hardware, software, documental and even immaterial heritage. The interlinks among these items and their context is fundamental to properly understand them and their role. Advanced AI techniques can support this vision and open unprecedented opportunities to the researchers, practitioners and hobbyists. We are pursuing these objectives in a project based the GraphBRAIN platform for Knowledge Graphs management.
