A Metadata Model for Representing Time-dependent Information in Cultural Collections∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
Temporal metadata are significant for the management of cultural collections since every object has a historical reference. The goal of this paper is to enrich collectionlevel descriptions with time representation and management capabilities. We obtain this by deploying a formalism called Multidimensional RDF, which enables the RDF model to represent in a compact way multiple facets of information.

متن کاملIntegrating 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...
