Using linguistic data, related to phrases and parts of speech (POS) information, could improve decision-making performances. This paper presents an ongoing research that aims apply Natural Language Processing (NLP) based on Lexicon Grammar (LG) approach increase information retrieval in the Archaeological domain. In particularly, main scope this work is language formalization techniques describe problem-solving processes field Archaeology, order formalize ontology for
The present work describes a joint activity carried out by team from VAST-LAB of PIN, Polo Universitario Città di Prato, in collaboration with the Italian Ministry Cultural Heritage and Activities (MIBAC) recently established Central Institute for Archaeology (ICA), development National Geoportal aim collecting, making accessible disseminating knowledge about archaeological heritage. In this perspective, one main steps has been collection user requirements design based on feedback received...
The paper introduces the PARTHENOS Data Management Plan, a template developed in framework of project to comply with requirements funding institutions and provide researchers archaeology right tool document their research process. template, based on Open Science initiative FAIR principles, is tailored needs archaeological domain. present work includes an overview DMP related tools development.
The paper describes a procedure for creating joint thesaurus of Architectural Heritage (AH) based on existing ones. After surveying the most important repositories historic architectonical information and associated thesauri, design multilingual framework incorporating different thesauri is presented discussed. Also system to perform semantic queries these architectural databases briefly presented. implementation combination technology, such as SKOS, RDF, Linked Data queries.
This article addresses an important aspect of the built heritage documentation, which concerns encoding information about a building in formal way, making it available for reuse by research community. Formal ontologies allow structuring and integrating from heterogeneous sources without loss semantic information. In field Cultural Heritage (CH), CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM) ontology is well known widely accepted as provides definitions structure to describe implicit explicit...
Advanced Research Infrastructure for Archaeological Dataset Networking (ARIADNE) is a four-year EU FP7 Infrastructures funded project, made up of 24 partners across 16 European countries. ARIADNE has the goal “bringing together and integrating existing archaeological research data infrastructures, so researchers can use various distributed datasets new powerful technologies as an integral component archeological methodology”.
