Abstract: |
Problems of heterogeneous information integration are well known in IT domain. Such problems appear in cultural heritage domain when one tries to represent collections belong to different organizations, which use different data structures. In this presentation I will discuss technical background of those problems in cultural heritage domain. Common mapping process is based on using ontologies in order to represent knowledge encoded in different structures and on using modern natural language processing techniques to deal with terminological diversity. Implemented approach is explained by giving examples from museum databases. Key points of a detailed presentation (about 1 hour)
