Representation of Archival User Needs using CIDOC CRM
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper stems from an ongoing dissertation project and demonstrates how the CIDOC CRM is used to create an ontological model – the Archival Knowledge Model (AKM) – of common patterns found in written natural language questions to archives. Such an ontological model can be used to query archival or historical knowledge bases in order to provide more adequate answers and to enable more relevant discovery facilities. For this purpose, 330 reference questions to the German Federal Archive are being analyzed and patterns found translated to the CIDOC CRM and appropriate extensions. In particular, the paper introduces the methodological approach to the interpretation of user questions and the draft of a prominent pattern called Documentation-

متن کاملCIDOC CRM and Epigraphy: a Hermeneutic Challenge
This paper identifies the main concepts involved in the study of epigraphy and proposes the use of CIDOC CRM to encode epigraphic concepts and to model the scientific process of investigation related to the study of epigraphy. After analysing the existing CIDOC CRM entities and those provided by the CRMsci and CRMarchaeo extensions, we introduce more specific epigraphic classes to be used as th...
متن کاملOntology-Based Metadata Integration in the Cultural Heritage Domain
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 dif...
متن کاملMethodology for CIDOC CRM based data integration with spatial data
In this paper we want to present a methodology for data integration based on the CIDOC CRM. Spatial data are included in the integration process which provides us on the one hand with the possibility to access the CRM structured data through an interactive map. On the other hand in future GIS functionalities of spatial analysis can generate new data within the ontological database that could no...
