Semantic Management of Digital Contents for the Cultural Domain

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Recent Trends in Information Reuse and Integration

Abstract

The World Wide Web is a space prepared for the exchange of information among networked systems. However, the current web is mainly designed for human consumption, so its contents are not readily understandable by computers. This issue emerges in diverse applications of the Web and becomes especially relevant in the cultural institutions’ domain. The aim of Linked Data methods [6] is to extend the published data on the Web so that web analyzing agents are able to process and interpret the semantic metadata of a given domain. All issues related to cooperation, interoperability and accessibility enabled by semantic technologies are growing up to have linked, well represented knowledge domains ready for exploitation by automated agents. By endowing the web with more meaning, you provide solutions to share, process and transfer information among web-based contents and applications from diverse cultural institutions.
