Anchoring Dutch Cultural Heritage Thesauri to WordNet: Two Case Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we argue on the interest of anchoring Dutch Cultural Heritage controlled vocabularies to WordNet, and demonstrate a reusable methodology for achieving this anchoring. We test it on two controlled vocabularies, namely the GTAA thesaurus, used at the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision (the Dutch radio and television archives), and the GTT thesaurus, used to index books of the Dutch National Library. We evaluate the two anchorings having in mind a concrete use case, namely generic alignment scenarios where concepts from one thesaurus must be aligned to concepts from the other.

In this paper, we show how Semantic Web techniques can help to solve semantic interoperability issues in the cultural heritage domain. In particular, these techniques can enable integrated access to heterogeneous collections by representing their controlled description vocabularies (e.g. thesauri) in a standardized format – Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS). We also present existing a...

Controlled vocabularies of various kinds (e.g., thesauri, classification schemes) play an integral part in making Cultural Heritage collections accessible. The various institutions participating in the Dutch CATCH programme maintain and make use of a rich and diverse set of vocabularies. This makes it hard to provide a uniform point of access to all collections at once. Our SKOS-based vocabular...

متن کاملEnriching a Formal Ontology with a Thesaurus: an Application in the Cultural Heritage Domain
This paper describes a pattern-based method to automatically enrich a core ontology with the definitions of a domain glossary. We show an application of our methodology to the cultural heritage domain, using the CIDOC CRM core ontology. To enrich the CIDOC, we use available resources such as the AAT art and architecture glossary, WordNet, the Dmoz taxonomy for named entities, and others.
