Ontology-based Approach for Interoperability of Digital Collections
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents solutions and lessons learned in the FinnONTO project carried out in Finland in 2003–2007. The paper focuses on three aspects of interoperability of digital collections. First, transforming thesauri to ontologies. Second, publishing ontologies for the use of indexers and content providers. Third, ontology based methods for improving the end user access to digital collections. The first aspect is analysed through case studies done with Finnish thesauri. The second is discussed by presenting the ONKI ontology server. The last aspect is demonstrated in the scope of the semantic portal CultureSampo for publishing cultural heritrage on the Semantic Web.

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 کاملDesigning for Inconsistency - The Dependency-Based PERICLES Approach
The rise of the Semantic Web has provided cultural heritage researchers and practitioners with several tools for ensuring semantic-rich representations and interoperability of cultural heritage collections. Although indeed offering a lot of advantages, these tools, which come mostly in the form of ontologies and related vocabularies, do not provide a conceptual model for capturing contextual an...

Passenger information aims at improving the user-friendliness of public transport systems while influencing passenger route choices to satisfy transit user’s travel requirements. The integration of transit information from multiple agencies is a major challenge in implementation of multi-modal passenger information systems. The problem of information sharing is further compounded by the multi-l...
متن کاملThe Semantics of Semantic Interoperability: A Two-Dimensional Approach for Investigating Issues of Semantic Interoperability in Digital Libraries
The networked information environment comprising digital libraries, digital collections, and digital repositories increase people’s expectations for information access. Specifically, users anticipate better search capabilities across these networked information resources and the metadata records associated with the resources. The opportunities also exist for improved information exchange or int...
متن کاملAssessing the Value of Semantic Annotation Services for 3D Museum Artefacts
Increasing numbers of museums and cultural institutions are using 3D scanning techniques to preserve cultural artefacts as 3D digital models and to provide curators, scholars and the general public with a richer experience when accessing online exhibitions. However there are a number of challenges associated with the development, maintenance and curation of 3D digital collections. In particular...
