Una Quantum è il primo volume degli Atti del Convegno sulle Nuove Tecnologie open source per la gestione dei beni, delle attività culturali e del turismo. Il convegno nasce dall’esperienza maturata dall’associazione Una Quantum inc. durante la manifestazione “CIRCUITI”. L’idea del progetto è mossa dal desiderio di coinvolgere il pubblico e di promuovere l’inserimento all’interno del proprio sistema di valori il patrimonio o una parte del patrimonio nella quale ci si identifica.
L’attenzione ai metodi, allo sviluppo e alle pratiche di gestione del patrimonio è caratteristica propria dell’associazione Una Quantum inc. Questa ha contribuito allo sviluppo di due Plugin di QGIS, Pyarchinit e ArcheoloGis e dal 2021 promulga la diffusione di Extended Matrix framework FOSS del CNR per la documentazione e la ricostruzione 3D del patrimonio archeologico.
Una Quantum partecipa attivamente e annualmente alla vita delle comunità professionali, accademiche e con i principali centri di ricerca; e offre la propria esperienza nell’ambito dei Sistemi Informativi Geografici e attraverso altre tecnologie Free Libre and Open Source.
A questo che è il risultato della pubblicazione del primo convegno internazionale di Una Quantum è seguito, a dicembre 2022, il secondo convegno internazionale di studi dedicati. Il presente lavoro è quindi l’avvio di un fertile solco che inizia a dare i suoi primi frutti.

L’associazione Una Quantum si fonda su cinque pilastri fondamentali: l’inclusività, la democrazia, l’apertura, l’accessibilità e la cultura. Questo volume è la prima pietra fondante di un edificio culturale fatto di condivisione del sapere libero nell’ambito dell’Umanesimo Digitale.
L’attività portata avanti dall’associazione e presentata in questo volume risponde ad una esigenza reale e concreta espressa dalla società contemporanea, non da ultimo il settore dei Beni Culturali. La necessità di integrare i propri sistemi di ricerca e innovazione con tecnologie digitali che possano colmare un gap tra mondo degli specialisti e grande pubblico; il bisogno di migliorare l’accessibilità alla cultura, aggiornando i propri sistemi di fruizione e sfruttando le nuove metodologie open source; così come l’urgenza di elaborare sistemi per la raccolta e la gestione dei dati e tecniche di machine learning capaci di integrare e migliorare il lavoro sul campo. Questi i grandi temi su cui si interrogano oggi gli specialisti dei Beni Culturali; e sui quali Una Quantum da sempre opera instancabilmente nel pieno rispetto dei valori del mondo non-profit, e di cui questo lavoro vuole essere una sintesi.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
