Knowledge Gardening in the Web of Data

Awarded: NOK 40,000

Cultural institutions have the crucial goal of storing, managing and disseminating knowledge about our culture to a worldwide audience of people. Museums, libraries, archives and other vendors of cultural heritage information are currently in the process of exposing their data as Linked Open Data (LOD) to encourage reuse of this information in semantic aware services which utilize the synergy that can be achieved when combining and integrating complimentary information resources. Linked Open Data is based on the the standards and formats that have been developed for the Semantic Web, but even though we have the technological framework, there are many challenges that must be solved to achieve true automatic integration and interoperability between a potent ially very large number of loosely connected information sources. The main objective of this project is to support the process of integration and alignment of heterogeneous, but related information sources within the area of cultural heritage. This projec t aims at proposing a novel communication protocol to support the process of semantic mappings in order to ease the interconnection between a large number of semantic data providers. The performance of this protocol will be evaluated and will be compared. The project includes partners from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and University of Lyon 1.
