Ontology-Based Metadata Integration in the Cultural Heritage Domain
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose an ontology-based metadata integration methodology for the cultural heritage domain. The proposed real world approach considers an integration architecture in which CIDOC/CRM ontology acts as a mediating scheme. In this context, we present a mapping methodology from Encoded Archival Description (EAD) and Dublin Core (DC) metadata to CIDOC/CRM, and discuss the faced difficulties.

Integrating Dublin Core Metadata for Cultural Heritage Collections Using Ontologies
Metadata interoperability is an active research area, especially for cultural heritage collections, which consist of heterogeneous objects described by a variety of metadata schemas. In this paper we propose an ontology-based metadata interoperability approach, which exploits, in an optimal way, the semantics of metadata schemas. In particular, we propose the use of CIDOC/CRM ontology as a medi...
متن کاملCross-Disciplinary Integration of Metadata Descriptions
Within the ECHO (European Cultural Heritage Online) project an integrated domain of metadata repositories was created covering data from 5 different humanities disciplines. The integration required intensive work on encoding, syntactical and especially the semantic level, since interoperability is still difficult to be achieved. An ontology was created and a search engine that makes use of the ...
متن کاملAn Ontology-Based Archive for Historical Research
The digitalization of cultural materials is doubtless a key-enabler for increasing accessibility of cultural heritage documents, e.g., historical texts. In the last decade Semantic Digital Libraries (see, e.g., [1]) have attracted the attention of research communities coming from different research areas, such as Cultural Heritage, History, and Knowledge Engineering. In order to find more innov...
متن کاملAuthoring Semantic and Linguistic Knowledge for the Dynamic Generation of Personalized Descriptions
We present the ELEON/NATURALOWL system, an application of Semantic Web and Natural Language Generation technologies that combines a conceptual representation of cultural heritage objects with linguistic and adaptation resources. This combined model is used to automatically generate multi-lingual and personalized textual descriptions of cultural heritage objects represented as instances of an OW...
متن کاملTowards a Core Ontology for Information Integration
In this paper, we argue that a core ontology is one of the key building blocks necessary to enable the scalable assimilation of information from diverse sources. A complete and extensible ontology that expresses the basic concepts that are common across a variety of domains and can provide the basis for specialization into domain-specific concepts and vocabularies, is essential for well-defined...
