Accessing Multilingual Data on the Web for the Semantic Annotation of Cultural Heritage Texts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our study targets interoperable semantic annotation of Cultural Heritage or eHumanities texts in German and Hungarian. A semantic resource we focus on is the Thompson Motif-index of folk-literature (TMI), the labels of which are available only in English. We investigate the use lexical data on the Web in German and Hungarian for supporting semi-automatic translation of TMI: lexical resources offered by Wiktionary accessed via the Lexvo service, and discuss shortcomings of those resources. An approach for mapping the XML dump of Wiktionary onto a TEI and MAF compliant data is presented, whereby we discuss improvements in the representation of Wiktionary data for exploiting its multilingual value within the LOD framework.

Multilingual access to cultural heritage content on the Semantic Web
As the amount of cultural data available on the Semantic Web is expanding, the demand of accessing this data in multiple languages is increasing. Previous work on multilingual access to cultural heritage information has shown that mapping from ontologies to natural language requires at least two different steps: (1) mapping multilingual metadata to interoperable knowledge sources; (2) assigning...
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 کاملAccessing Cultural Heritage using the Web of Data
Cultural Heritage (CH) is a vast domain, where sharing information is challenging. As a result, the global CH is distributed and heterogeneous. In this paper, we present the concept of the Web of Data as an approach to integrating CH collections. We introduce the CHoWDer (Cultural Heritage on the Web of Data) model, the simple model designed to illustrate how easily CH institutions can particip...
متن کاملSemantic Web and reasoning for cultural heritage and digital libraries
Cultural heritage and digital libraries are two closely related disciplines that traditionally benefit by the application of innovative information technologies. Currently, Semantic Web research has also grown satisfyingly mature to enable achieving tangible results and added-value in both these knowledgeintensive domains, in spite of the critical challenges of knowledge acquisition and reasoni...
متن کاملA Common Multimedia Annotation Framework for Cross Linking Cultural Heritage Digital Collections
In the context of the CATCH research program that is currently carried out at a number of large Dutch cultural heritage institutions our ambition is to combine and exchange heterogeneous multimedia annotations between projects and institutions. As first step we designed an Annotation Meta Model: a simple but powerful RDF/OWL model mainly addressing the anchoring of annotations to segments of th...
