“Aristotelistes” project aimed to create an innovative platform of worldwide impact, concerning ancient Greek literature. The project fully adopted and built on the open innovation paradigm with considerable added value contributed by Greek academia and research institutes. Its main objective was the development, widespread demonstration, assessment and utilization of an integrated and inclusive open platform containing the complete corpus of Aristotelian works. This platform operated as a social cooperative network, in which diverse types of users (academics, scholars, general public, students, and educational staff) were able not only to navigate through its content, but also creatively contribute towards its enhancement.
The value of the project lied on its novel approach to the study of a classical corpus. The project crucially contributed to the development of a sustainable open innovation ecosystem in the field of culture, which meaningfully incorporates collective intelligence.
