Cultural Heritage (CH) data is syntactically and semantically heterogeneous, multilingual, rich, highly interlinked. It produced in a distributed, open fashion by museums, libraries, archives, media organizations, as well individual persons. Managing publication of such richness variety content on the Web, at same time supporting interoperable creation processes, poses challenges where traditional approaches need to be re-thought. Application principles technologies Linked Data Semantic Web...
This article presents the vision and results of creating basis for a national semantic Web content infrastructure in Finland 2003-2007. The main elements are shared open metadata schemas, core ontologies, public ontology services. Several practical applications testing demonstrating usefulness overviewed fields eculture, ehealth, egovernment, elearning, ecommerce.
This paper discusses a shift of focus in research on Cultural Heritage semantic portals, based Linked Data, and envisions proposes new directions research. Three generations portals are identified: Ten years ago the portal development was data harmonizatio n, aggregation, search, browsing ("first generation systems"). At moment, rise Digital Humanities has started to providing user with integrated tools for solving problems interactive ways ("second argues that next step ahead "third...
This paper presents a new software framework, Sampo-UI, for developing user interfaces semantic portals. The goal is to provide the end-user with multiple application perspectives Linked Data knowledge graphs, and two-step usage cycle based on faceted search combined ready-to-use tooling data analysis. For developer, Sampo-UI framework makes it possible create highly customizable, user-friendly, responsive using current state-of-the-art JavaScript libraries from SPARQL endpoints, while...
Cultural heritage (CH) contents are typically strongly interlinked, but published in heterogeneous, distributed local data silos, making it difficult to utilize the on a global level. Furthermore, content is usually available only for humans read, and not as Digital Humanities (DH) analyses application development. This report addresses these problems by presenting collaborative publication model CH Linked Data six design principles creating shared services semantic portals DH research...
This paper presents the CultureSampo system from viewpoint of publishing heterogeneous linked data as a service. Discussed are problems converting legacy into data, well challenge making massively
The Second World War (WW2) is arguably the most devastating catastrophe of human history, a topic great interest to not only researchers but general public. However, data about heterogeneous and distributed in various organizations countries making it hard utilize. In order create aggregated global views war, shared ontology infrastructure needed harmonize information silos. This makes possible share between publishers application developers, support analysis Digital Humanities research,...
This paper presents a model and lessons learned for creating cross-domain national ontology Linked (Open) Data (LOD) infrastructure. The idea is to extend the global, domain agnostic “layer cake model” underlying Semantic Web with specific local features needed in applications. To test demonstrate infrastructure, series of LOD services portals use have been created 2002–2023 that cover wide range application domains. They attracted millions users total suggesting feasibility proposed model....
