COST Action IS1005 Medioevo Europeo. Medieval Cultures and Technological Resources. Fondazione Ezio Franceschini onlus. Workshop Medieval Cultures on the Web. Interoperability Through Text and Manuscript Databases. Florence, 7-9 march 2012. 
In Europe and in North-America several projects are trying to  handle  the  problem  of  the  multitude  of  databases concerning medieval texts and manuscripts. Different aims and standards are proposed by networks of philologists, codicologists,  librarians.  The  research  about  medieval cultures will depend more and more on such decisions. Presenting  an  Italian  project  of  interoperability,  the workshop  will  provide  a  discussion  about  goals  and practices for the next future.
