This first project will follow up on last year's "Origins of Venice" IQP, which was tasked to explore the origins of the city and its inhabitants, using archeology, genetics and ancient manuscripts.
This year's project will take the matter a bit further, by:
- Designing an "archaeological web-app" that will allow the gradual accumulation of reusable Archaeological Data, which could be "modeled" and visualized by exploiting the potential of the Santa Fe sandtable for the interactive exploration of "archaeological" risk.
- Continuing the collection of DNA samples in the context of the Genographic Project and developing a grant proposal for the full-fledged examination of the "origins of Venetians".
- Promoting the development of uScript and continuing to detail its scope, functionalities and diffusion mechanisms.
As expected, this line of research will continue over multiple years and will yield important information in due time. It is part of the Venice 3.0 project...

This project certainly encompasses more than just "geneaology" (although the word works in a metaphorical sense). I spoke to Giovanni Caniato today, and he's hoping the Uscript project continues, obviously.
