Semantic Web Techniques for Multiple Views on Heterogeneous Collections: A Case Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Integrated digital access to multiple collections is a prominent issue for many Cultural Heritage institutions. The metadata describing diverse collections must be interoperable, which requires aligning the controlled vocabularies that are used to annotate objects from these collections. In this paper, we present an experiment where we match the vocabularies of two collections by applying the Knowledge Representation techniques established in recent Semantic Web research. We discuss the steps that are required for such matching, namely formalising the initial resources using Semantic Web languages, and running ontology mapping tools on the resulting representations. In addition, we present a prototype that enables the user to browse the two collections using the obtained alignment while still providing her with the original vocabulary structures. This paper is an abbreviated version of a paper accepted at the 10th European Conference on Digital Libraries, ECDL 2006.

متن کاملMuseumFinland — Finnish Museums on the Semantic Web User’s Perspective
This paper presents a semantic portal, MuseumFinland, for publishing heterogeneous museum collections on the Semantic Web. The application is presented from the viewpoints of the end-user and the museums providing the contents. By semantic web techniques, it is possible to make collections semantically interoperable and provide the museum visitors with intelligent content-based search and brows...
متن کاملOntologies to coordinate multiple views: exploring document collections
Multiple views of data sets can provide assistance on discovering unforeseen associations among elements contained on these sets. Thus, users are able to explore data in distinct perspectives. Ontologies are formal representations which describe data relations explicitly. Representing the underlying data into ontology, the exploratory visualization can benefit from a semantic representation to ...
