Abstract
The paper presents a concept and architecture of a specialized Internet portal providing semantic access to cultural knowledge and information resources (i.e. electronic collections). The information basis of such a portal is an ontology that supports integration of information resources relevant to the subject domain of a portal into a uniform information space and provides content-based (semantic) access to these resources. The portal is adaptable to meet the needs of a variety of users: it provides multilingual access and supports a user’s profile with personal preferences and areas of interests. The portal supports formulation of queries in terms of the chosen subject domain and ontology-driven navigation through the information space of the portal. Extension of the information space is realized by both experts and specialized subsystem searching for and automatically indexing relevant resources.
