The STITCH project aims to advance cultural heritage (CH) by integrating semantic web techniques to improve subject indexing and interoperability of data. This event showcases key achievements from STITCH, including a live demo of annotation suggestions and applications for CH problems. It highlights collaboration with various institutions, presenting innovative solutions for semantic alignment and leveraging standardized models like SKOS. Experts in the field will discuss applications, share experiences, and suggest future directions for semantic web technologies in cultural heritage management.

KB July 7 2009 STITCH final event
Agenda • Brief presentation of STITCH main achievements • Demo: annotation suggestion at KB • The future use of STITCH results in Subject Indexing at the KB
Background: CATCH • 10 projects • IT research + Cultureel Erfgoed (Cultural Heritage) • Investigating CH problems, producing applications for CH
The STITCH project • Antoine Isaac • Lourens van der Meij • Shenghui Wang • Henk Matthezing, KB • Stefan Schlobach, VU • Claus Zinn, MPI • Paul Doorenbosch, KB • Frank van Harmelen, VU • Peter Wittenburg, MPI Dirk Kramer Johan Stapel http://stitch.cs.vu.nl/
Application: integrated faceted browser KB Illuminated manuscripts BNF manuscripts
Live demo? Cross-lingual multi-collection search
In the background • Homogeneous representation of thesauri: SKOS • Simple Knowledge Organization System • (open)standard to exchange thesauri on the Semantic Web
In the background • Semantic alignment of thesauri
STITCH and SKOS Participating in the design of the SKOS model Having SKOS benefit from experience in KB and CH domain A web-service repository of thesauri and alignments Repository web service VU MPI
Live demo? • http://kits.cs.vu.nl:38080/vocreptags/autocompleteplus.jsp • http://stitch.cs.vu.nl/repository/
How to align thesauri? • Answer: many techniques • Using labels of conceptss • frog = frog • frog = frogs • frog = grenouille • Using extensional information • The objects described with concepts to align • For example, books
Using extensional concept information: example Aligning GTT and Brinkman
Automatic statistic alignment Brinkman GTT plankzeilen surfsport
Extensional alignments • Takes into account variability of usage • Can be useful for specific application scenarios
Application scenarios? • STITCH = IT research embedded at KB • Pushing research to KB • Converting KB thesauri to open standards (SKOS) • Presentations, publications in KB context • DEN, Informatie Professional • Pushing KB applications to research community • CH experience feeding design of standards • KB case used as benchmark for alignment research • Using CH scenarios to deploy and evaluate alignments
Making it work for KB! • Let's see this… • But before: questions?
