A Semantic Wiki Approach to Cultural Heritage Data Management
Abstract
Providing access to cultural heritage data beyond book
digitization and information retrieval projects is important for
delivering advanced semantic support to end users, in order to
address their specific needs. We introduce a separation of
concerns for heritage data management by explicitly defining
different user groups and analyzing their particular
requirements. Based on this analysis, we developed a comprehensive
system architecture for accessing, annotating, and querying textual
historic data. Novel features are the deployment of a Wiki user
interface, natural language processing services for end users,
metadata generation in OWL ontology format, SPARQL queries on
textual data, and the integration of external clients through Web
Services. We illustrate these ideas with the management of a
historic encyclopedia of architecture.
