Presentation

This Academy is a free association of scholars cultivating humanities computing [= HC] (not necessarily and not exclusively digital humanities [= DH]), and sharing some precise opinions on its definition and theoretical foundations, i.e.:
* HC is the way of carrying on research in humanities by means of digitized data submitted to automatic (algorithmic) procedures.
* Humanities is historical research in cultural achievements.
* The correct procedure for digitizing cultural artifacts consists in formal analysis and identification in continuous data of discrete entities to be represented by means of binary digits.
* Automata is any realization of a machine according to Alan Turing (Turing Machine).
* Scientific activity in HC is dependent also on the methods of the individual humanistic disciplines and their relative competence.
