Such terms as “metadata”, “web strategies”, “interoperability” are commonly used whenever the perspectives of cultural heritage memories on the web are investigated. The risk that well-established methods of preserving and publishing the output of intellectual and artistic activities could hinder data exchange procedures as well as making the creation of multidisciplinary discovery systems required for carrying out reasearch – even in the humanities – is under assessment. The earliest projects adopted the same electronic format and cataloguing rules shared among classes of items of quite a different nature. Far from being the ideal solution, it has fuelled an animated world-wide debate. Nonetheless, thanks to this strategy North American institutions have created in just over a decade those massive digital archives which are the backbone of American Memory. In the meanwhile research on interoperability was carried out with the purpose of creating cross-domain linking devices and more powerful search tools. The latter should be the basis of networks aimed at fittingly supporting reaserch in the fields of historical and bibliographic studies.

In the last years, institutional repositories of preprints and scholarly publications have become a peak experience in the digital library environment, enabling the involvement of authors and scientific communities in a free and shared access to the results of research, and to its circulation trough the web. This volume collects a series of essays, both published and unpublished, that Antonella De Robbio wrote with respect to the issue of scientific information, and to the reply given by the Open Access Movement (OAI). The collection aims to a double purpose: first, to fill the gap in the lacking Italian bibliography concerning Open Archives; second, to take stock of the difficult situation of the Open Access Movement, and of the hope of its advocates that this movement could promote a democratic and immediate circulation of scientific knowledge.

Investigating the concepts of entity and identity in the cataloguing field constitutes the starting point of this work. Little explored in their most profound meaning and cataloguing application, the two concepts have never been analyzed in relation to the identification and modeling of objects in the GLAM domain. This activity is not simple, especially where the diversity of profiles makes the entity a multifaceted object, with boundaries that are only sometimes clear and defined, often fluid, and, therefore, difficult to fix. The need to identify the entities that make up the rich bibliographic universe leads us to hypothesize another way of looking at cataloguing: entity modeling presents itself as the third generational step in the management of bibliographic data, imposing or requiring a change of perspective in the processing of information but also in the language of formalization of the same.
