Welcome to the ITSERR Knowledge Base.

This space is the central documentation hub for the ITSERR research infrastructure and its digital platforms, including tools and services designed to support research in Religious Studies and related disciplines.

The Knowledge Base is intended to help you understand, explore, and effectively use the ITSERR services throughout your research lifecycle — from discovering existing resources, to collaborating with peers, managing data, publishing results, and engaging with the research community.

Depending on your role and needs, this Knowledge Base provides:

• User documentation explaining how to navigate the platform, use its features, and complete common research tasks.
• Workflow guides that show how multiple features can be combined to support real research scenarios.
• Training-oriented materials aligned with courses and learning activities offered through the Training Centre.
• Support and troubleshooting information, including FAQs and guidance on how to report issues or request assistance.
• Administrative and operational documentation for platform operators and maintainers (restricted access).

The ITSERR Knowledge Base is designed for a wide range of users:

• Visitors who want to understand what ITSERR offers
• Registered researchers and collaborators
• Project leaders and contributors
• Trainers and trainees
• Platform administrators and operational teams

Content is organised so that you can either browse by topic or follow guided paths based on your role or objective.

The HORTUS Platform -

ITSERR is an evolving research infrastructure. This documentation is therefore a living resource: it is regularly updated to reflect new features, improvements, and changes to the platform.

If you notice missing information, unclear explanations, or have suggestions for improvement, we encourage you to use the Support section to share your feedback.
