Abstract

This paper presents the Indiana Ontology for modeling the knowledge about Mount Bego’s rock art and its exploitation in the IndianaMAS project. Although many projects use ontologies for semantic processing of cultural heritage digital objects, we are not aware of such ontologies in the rock art domain. Also, the Indiana Ontology is fully and seamlessly integrated with the IndianaMAS framework components, namely the intelligent software agents and the Digital Library used to classify and store multimedia and multilingual objects, thus making the IndianaMAS framework a good representative of an advanced and innovative information management system for the cultural heritage domain.
