Adapting Wikification to Cultural Heritage
نویسندگان
چکیده
Large numbers of cultural heritage items are now archived digitally along with accompanying metadata and are available to anyone with internet access. This information could be enriched by adding links to resources that provide background information about the items. Techniques have been developed for automatically adding links to Wikipedia to text but the methods are general and not designed for use with cultural heritage data. This paper explores a range of methods for adapting a system for adding links to Wikipedia to cultural heritage items. The approaches make use of the structure of Wikipedia, including the category hierarchy. It is found that an approach that makes use of Wikipedia’s link structure can be used to improve the quality of the Wikipedia links that are added.
