TL;DR: This paper aims to design a IoT architecture that is able to support the designing of a smart museum, a static cultural space that becomes intelligent thanks to the definition of an innovative model of sensors and services.
Abstract: The adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm constitutes the basic building block to progress towards unified ICT platforms for a variety of applications within the large framework of the smart cities. Unfortunately, designing a general architecture for IoT is still a very complex challenge, since in such system may be involved several devices, link layer technologies and services. Cultural Heritage represents a worldwide resource of inestimable value and it gains more and more importance when embedded into the digital ecosystem of a smart city. In this paper we focus specifically to design a IoT architecture that is able to support the designing of a smart museum, a static cultural space that becomes intelligent thanks to the definition of an innovative model of sensors and services. Furthermore, the paper will present and discuss a real case of study, placed in a temporary art exhibition of sculptures in the Maschio Angioino Castle, located in Naples, Italy.

TL;DR: The cultural heritage of the Europe is discussed in this paper, where it is argued that there is an underlying unity of thought that everywhere has led to the enunciation of certain basic principles, which it is held must be followed as closely as possible in structuring any educational system.
Abstract: This chapter discusses the cultural heritage of the Europe. Europe is a great republic divided between several states. There is no longer a France, a Germany, a Spain, not even an English, there are only Europeans. Even today when the whole of Western Europe is in a ferment of educational reform, it is still possible in moving from country to country to be impressed not so much by the dissimilarities to be found between various educational practices as by the similarity between styles of education. There is an underlying unity of thought that everywhere has led to the enunciation of certain basic principles, which it is held must be followed as closely as possible in structuring any educational system. The Greeks first stressed the individual worth of persons and caused the implications of the Delphic utterance “Know Thyself to have the fullest significance.” As Europe stumbled through the Dark Ages, which followed the collapse of Rome, whatever education was available was exclusively in the hands of the church.

TL;DR: In this paper, sport-related heritage is increasingly being recognized as a potent instigator of tourism, though it is usually incorporated within the context of nostalgia sport tourism, while sites, attractions and experiences about the sporting past often provide a venue for the sport tourist to engage with nostalgia, what has become more evident is that housing all elements related to sportsrelated history beneath nostalgia's roof is misleading.
Abstract: Sport-related heritage is increasingly being recognized as a potent instigator of tourism, though it is usually incorporated within the context of nostalgia sport tourism. While sites, attractions and experiences about the sporting past often provide a venue for the sport tourist to engage with nostalgia, what has become more evident is that housing all elements related to sports-related history beneath nostalgia's roof is misleading. Heritage, on the other hand, is a broader, more encompassing term that may better represent the issues and topics that remain so fundamental to our understanding of sport-related tourism. This paper situates nostalgia sport tourism within a heritage context and finds that heritage is a more fitting categorization for this form of sport tourism. Four characterizations of sport heritage are identified: tangible immovable sport heritage, tangible movable sport heritage, intangible sport heritage, and goods and services with a sport heritage component. These categorizat...
