MultimediaN Application Pilot E-Culture

Discover the E-Culture Project, a pioneering initiative aimed at transforming how we access and interact with cultural heritage collections using the Semantic Web. Our goals include improving search capabilities and presentation of results by linking multiple cultural heritage resources, utilizing rich background knowledge, and catering to the needs of real users, such as cultural heritage professionals. Join us for a demonstration, interactive walkthrough, and insights into current and future work, highlighting the potential of RDF, SPARQL, and multilinguality for enriching cultural content accessibility.

  1. MultimediaN Application Pilot E-Culture Presentation and Demonstration

  2. Outline • Introduction: The Project • Goals/ Example Use Cases • Semantic Web and RDF • The Application • Current/Future Work • Demo • Walkthrough • Interactive • Questions

  3. The E-Culture Project • Dutch BSIK project MultimediaN • MN-N9C: Application Pilot e-Culture • VU (Guus Schreiber et.al.) • CWI (Jacco van Ossenbruggen et.al.) • UvA (Bob Wielinga, Jan Wielemaker, Victor de Boer) • ICN, DEN • Goals: • ‘Golden Application’ for Semantic Web • Improve "in context" search and presentation of search results by linking multiple Cultural Heritage collections • Reusing existing background knowledge (rich domain!) • Real users, real needs • For now: CH Professionals

  4. Example Use Case • Find Paintings from Monet • Find Paintings from other painters with the same style as Monet Monet

  5. Example Use Case • MUNCH, Edvard • The Scream • 1893 • Oil, tempera and pastel on cardboard • 91 x 73.5 cm • National Gallery, Oslo • How can we find this painting? • Are they related in some way? • Metadata associated with the resource

  6. Goals • Currently: • Resources and Metadata is stored locally at the museums • Little use of background knowledge • Semi-standard format • Our goal: • Distributed collections, accessible through Web • (Re)Use distributed background knowledge for search and linking of resources • Taxonomies, Ontologies, Structured Vocabularies • Time/Space Reasoning • Use (Semantic Web) Standards • RDF(S)/OWL, XML, XHTML, SPARQL • Multilinguality

  7. RDF(S)/OWL vra: title • Semantic Web standard for modelling of knowledge • Triples (Subject, Predicate, Object) • Namespaces (Who says what) • (Mus1:Painting001, vra:title, “the Scream”) • RDFS adds classes, instances etc. • OWL adds logic Mus1: Painting001 “The Scream”

  8. Labeled Graph AAT: Art Nouveau Mus1: Painting001 glink: has_style vra: title “The Scream” vra: creator Ulan:Munch, Edvard Ulan:student of Ulan:Thaulow, Fritz  Ulan:died_in TGN:Norway TGN:Oslo TGN: partof

  9. The (Meta)data • Currently • Collections: Rijksmuseum A'dam (750), Artchive.com (3000), Rijksmuseum Volkenkunde (250.000),... • Thesauri: Getty AAT, TGN, ULAN; SVCN, WordNet, ... • 10M triples • Conversion • Thesauri to RDF • Metadata to Thesaurus-concepts • Manual and Automatic Enrichment of the annotations, more links. ->Todo

  10. Annotation Party

  11. Architecture of the Demonstrator • Open Web standards • XML, XHTML, SVG, RDF/OWL • SWI-Prolog’s semantic web package • SPARQL interface, RDF/OWL partial reasoning • AJAX for rich Web client interaction • Semantic keyword suggestio • Dynamic tree browser for structured taxonomies • Java applets for other interaction types • Picture point: annotating image content

  12. User Interface • One backbone, multiple ways of presentation. User Interfaces: • Basic Search, Advanced Search, Timeline, Facet Browser • Convey relevant information hidden in graph effectively to the user • Exploit semantics to improve presentation • time & space • User evaluation of the tool is an important part of the project-> Todo

  13. Semantic Web Challenge 2006 • Competition for Semantic Web End-user applications • ISWC 2006 • First Prize! TBL and Guus

  14. Current/Future Work • User Evaluation • More links, more metadata • Multilinguality • More collections • KIT • Scalability • Relation Search

  15. Demo Time e-culture.multimedian.nl
