Extracted Abstract:

—In recent years, a number of projects have been un- dertaken for the access to cultural heritage that rely on metadata derived from an ontology. Ontologies also open to visualization techniques that leverage the structure of the semantic relations to bridge the gap between the complexity of data and the need for immediate, simplified access. In this paper, we address the representation and access to the intangible cultural heritage, that has received much attention recently and typically lacks a physical counterpart. In order to illustrate this approach, we describe two case studies in ontologies and visualization for cultural heritage. In the first case study, the user is immersed in a 3D labyrinth where turning points and paths represent, respectively, a set of cultural artifacts and the semantic relations holding among them; the second case study relies on an ontology of contemporary art and a cartographic visualization of the public art in a city.

Level 1: Include/Exclude

  • Papers must discuss situated information visualization* (by Willet et al.) in the application domain of CH.
    *A situated data representation is a data representation whose physical presentation is located close to the data’s physical referent(s).
    *A situated visualization is a situated data representation for which the presentation is purely visual – and is typically displayed on a screen.
  • Representation must include abstract data (e.g., metadata).
  • Papers focused solely on digital reconstruction without information visualization aspects are excluded.
  • Posters and workshop papers are excluded to focus on mature research contributions.
