The era of new information and knowledge technologies is causing a transformation in the classical human sciences. A new area of study that has emerged from the intersection between digital tools and humanities is promoting the integration of advances in technoculture with philosophy, literature, art, linguistics and cultural studies. The work carried out by the Institut de Recherche et Innovation du Centre Pompidou (IRI) focuses on this new field, known as Digital Humanities, in which special importance is attached to the participatory condition activated by Web 2.0 (social web) and also the emergence of Web 3.0 (semantic web).
