J’avoue une fascination totale du même ordre que pour ce genre de photos d’essais nucléaires près de zones habitées.

Au croisement de l’histoire et des nouvelles technologies, la #Venice_Time_Machine est un projet ambitieux de numérisation des 10 siècles d’archives accumulées par le puissant Etat Vénitien. Des scientifiques de l’#EPFL à Lausanne et de l’#université_Ca’Foscari de #Venise travaillent ensemble à l’élaboration d’un outil numérique inédit qui fera renaître sous nos yeux la Venise du passé.

Étapes du processus :

2° #spatialisation (#géoréférencement), mise en réseau des informations après transcription et classification automatique des textes, des images permettant l’utilisation d’un moteur de recherche ;
3° simulation

Les #archives de #Venise bientôt sauvées et accessibles aux historiens du monde entier
Ces millions de documents feront bientôt partie d’une immense #base_de_données en libre accès dédiée à la recherche et à l’éducation.
Plus d’une centaine de chercheurs et d’étudiants on été associés au projet #Venice_Time_Machine, lancé il y a plus d’un an par l’Ecole Polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) et piloté par un comité international d’experts issus des universités de Ca’Foscari de Venise, de Stanford, de Columbia, de Princeton et d’Oxford. Si cette mobilisation peut sembler démesurée, c’est parce que les archives d’Etat de Venise prochainement numérisées, indexées et bientôt accessibles en ligne aux historiens du monde entier couvrent une période de plus de 1 000 ans. Soient plus de 80 km de rayonnages composés de millions de #documents_administratifs tels que des #certificats_de_décès, des #déclarations_d'impôts ou encore des #cartes_géographiques ou des #plans_d'urbanisme.
J’avais assisté à une présentation sur le sujet lors de la conférence #sig 2013. Le projet est énorme car la base doit permettre de reconstituer l’histoire des lignes commerciales et la ville doit également être reconstituée entièrement en 3D et dans le temps.
Giant Cruise Ships to be Banned from Venice Beginning Next Year | Italy Magazine

Large cruise ships passing through the Venice lagoon are to be banned effective November 2014, and a limit on smaller cruise vessels will kick in January, government officials in Rome ordered on Tuesday.
The order came following a meeting between Italy’s Prime Minister Enrico Letta, his transport and culture ministers and Venice city officials and regional authorities, discussing how to implement in Venice a law that bans large ships from passing near Italian shores. The law was enacted nationwide following the crash of the Costa Concordia cruise ship in early 2012, which killed 32 people off the coast of Tuscany, but was not applied in Venice where the cruise industry plays a key role in the local economy.
As of January, the traffic volume of cruise ships weighing between 40,000 and 96,000 tonnes must be reduced to no more than five ships per day. The outright ban starting November 2014 only applies to those over 96,000 tonnes (similar to the Costa Concordia).
According to the order, cruise traffic will eventually be rerouted through the Contorta Sant’Angelo Canal. Environmentalists warn that the lagoon surrounding Venice, itself a UNESCO heritage site, is at great risk due to its fragile ecosystem and Venice residents have staged many protests over the invasion of the cruise ships. Currently, cruise ships pass within 300 metres (1,000 feet) of St Mark’s Square. Over the past 15 years, Venice has become one of the world’s most important cruise destinations, with more than 650 cruise ships passing through the city annually.
“Finally the trend towards gigantic ships in the lagoon has been turned around,” the mayor of Venice, Giorgio Orsoni, said in a statement on Tuesday. “We’ve had enough of these mega cruise ships just meters away from San Marco; from now on there will be clear limits on the size of ships that can enter Venice.”
