Abstract

The digitisation of cultural heritage has created large digital collections that have the potential to open up our cultural heritage. However, the search box, which for non-expert users presents a significant obstacle, remains the primary interface for accessing these. This demo presents a fully automated, data-driven system for generating a generous interface for exploring digital cultural heritage (DCH) collections.
