Data repositories in the Humanities and the Semantic Web: modelling, linking, visualising
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper discusses the inherent potential of the Semantic Web and its related technologies for humanities research. The focal point lies on the extraction of semantic relations from heterogeneous XML based scholarly corpora using a webservice based infrastructure (XTriples). Especially the creation of methodologically distinct semantic corpora stemming from data sets originating in the humanities will be discussed. During this discussion, questions of modelling, linking, and visualising data from the humanities will be tackled as well. Finally, opportunities for further analysis and visualisation of semantically modelled data in the humanities are exemplarily presented and discussed.

ModRef Project: Data Migration into CIDOC-CRM Triplestores and Factorisation
ModRef is a project from the laboratory Labex ”Les passés dans le présent”, which coordinates various projects on digital humanities. ModRef focuses more precisely on the semantic web and linked open data. The goal is to move heterogeneous data into triplestores also called data warehouses or collections of RDF files in order to improve the sharing, exchange and discovery of new knowledge. For ...
متن کاملSemantic Web for the Humanities
Researchers have been interested recently in publishing and linking Humanities datasets following Linked Data principles. This has given rise to some issues that complicate the semantic modelling, comparison, combination and longitudinal analysis of these datasets. In this research proposal we discuss three of these issues: representation roundtripping, concept drift, and contextual knowledge. ...
متن کاملIdentifying Relevant Sources for Data Linking using a Semantic Web Index
With more data repositories constantly being published on the Web, choosing appropriate data sources to interlink with newly published datasets becomes a non-trivial problem. While catalogs of data repositories and meta-level descriptors such as VoiD provide valuable information to take these decisions, more detailed information about the instances included into repositories is often required t...
متن کاملWhat Should I Link to? Identifying Relevant Sources and Classes for Data Linking
With more data repositories constantly being published on the Web, choosing appropriate data sources to interlink with newly published datasets becomes a non-trivial problem. It is necessary to choose both the repositories to link to and the relevant subsets of these repositories, which contain potentially matching individuals. In order to do this, detailed information about the content and str...
متن کاملCross-Disciplinary Integration of Metadata Descriptions
Within the ECHO (European Cultural Heritage Online) project an integrated domain of metadata repositories was created covering data from 5 different humanities disciplines. The integration required intensive work on encoding, syntactical and especially the semantic level, since interoperability is still difficult to be achieved. An ontology was created and a search engine that makes use of the ...
