In addition to establishing ways of extracting and manipulating digitally encoded cultural material, there exists a need to make this material available and accessible to human users in different forms and languages that are available to them. In this paper we describe a method to manage and access museum data by integrating it within a series of interlinked ontological models. The method allows querying and generation of query results in natural language. We report on the results of applying this method from experiments we have been pursuing. }, booktitle = {Language Technologies for Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage (RANLPDigHum 2011)}, author = {Dannélls, Dana and Damova, Mariana and Enache, Ramona and Chechev, Milen}, year = {2011}, ISBN = {978-954-452-019-9}, pages = {3--10}, } @inProceedings{dannells-damova-2011-reason-145391, title = {Reason-able View of Linked Data for Cultural Heritage}, abstract = {This paper presents a novel approach that relies on the innovative idea of Reason-able View of the Web of linked data applied to the domain of cultural heritage. We describe an application of data integration based on Semantic Web technologies and the methods necessary to create an integrated semantic knowledge base composed of real museum data that are interlinked with data from the Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud. Thus, creating an infrastructure to allow for easy extension of the domain specific data, and convenient querying of multiple datasets. Our approach is based on a model of schema level and an instance level alignment. The models use several ontologies, e.g. PROTON and CIDOC-CRM, showing their integration by using real data from the Gothenburg City Museum. }, booktitle = {Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing / The Third International Conference on Software, Services & Semantic Technologies (S3T)}, author = {Dannélls, Dana and Damova, Mariana}, year = {2011}, volume = {101}, pages = {17--24}, }
