Partnerships
1) Accademia della Crusca. The OVI is the offspring of an old project of the Accademia. At present, there is an agreement between the CNR and the Accademia (the CNR funding the Accademia for this). The two institutions share the same location. The library of the Accademia is one of OVI lexicographer's principal research tool. OVI takes part in projects and initiatives of the Accademia (e.g. OVI carried on the preliminary study of tagging for the "Lessicografia della Crusca in rete"). Since 2014 the main joint project is the Vocabolario Dantesco (www.vocabolariodantesco.it). OVI takes part jointly with the Accademia in the "European Federation of National Institutes for Language" for the study of the official European languages and the promotion of linguistic and cultural diversity within the European Union. This collaboration is motivated by the conviction that projects like the TLIO dictionary and the OVI textual database acquire a sense only within a wider a European policy of promotion of national languages.
2) University of Chicago, USA. ItalNet agreement
(in which the University of Notre Dame was also involved: see 3), by which a version of the Old Italian database was implemented on the Web since 1998, much before the completion of the GattoWeb version, was renewed in 2018. The agreement provides for the dissemination of corpus OVI with the software PhiloLogic4, developed in Chicago in the ARTFL project.
3) University of Notre Dame, USA. Since 1994 partner of OVI and University of Chicago, the University of Notre Dame (Indiana) is also present in the new agreement mentioned in 2. Some PhD students of this University of Notre Dame were guest of OVI and studied OVI lexicographical methods. OVI and Notre Dame University are looking forward to implement a project for the creation of a research group on Old Italian (and may be an editing team of TLIO) at Notre Dame. Since 2016 Notre Dame University organizes in close collaboration with the OVI an annual seminar in videoconferencing, which is part of the didactic activity of the PhD in "Filologia e critica" (Philology and criticism) of the University of Siena.
