“…There are nine studies where the intended users are researchers. In this group, we may find applications to provide a richer mode of accessing knowledge like through ontology-based information retrieval [70], the exploration of complex databases [28,71] or specialised search [26,62]. Others are focused on allowing in-depth analysis of CH artefacts like coins located on digital maps [61] or the surface of historical violins [67].…”

“…In this regard, 48% of the articles focus on improving interaction with the CH assets to capture the user's attention. This goal is mainly achieved by incorporating technology in cultural visits and intensifying the tourist experience through the interface [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. Bernardini et al [36], Floch and Jiang [37] and Kim et al [38] present applications where visitors generate content by adding information.…”

This study surveys the state of the art in usability and user experience strategies applied to applications that deal with large amounts of data in the field of cultural heritage, highlighting the most prominent aspects and underlining the under-explored. In these applications, large amounts of data need to be wisely presented to help final users at drawing conclusions and making decisions. While sophisticated technology may be used to improve the user experience, it should not be applied to the detriment of usability, which is critical for the success of these applications. We performed a systematic mapping study to classify the literature retrieved in the four largest scientific databases by a structured search string. We classify applications according to purpose, intended users, the way they address and evaluate user experience and usability, among others, and include the analysis of combined results through maps. Findings reveal the contradiction that while most articles are intended for the education and tourism of the general public, only half of the studies evaluate usability. Moreover, there is a significant research gap in user interfaces for systems in the context of preventive conservation, for research, assessment and decision assistance. This is the first systematic mapping study combining usability and cultural heritage, especially for data-oriented applications. It shows that more research is necessary to assist conservators and researchers and to address usability from early stages of development.

“…The work of Ossenbruggen et al [13] offers the possibility to explore a large data set of paintings through the use of keywords and semantic techniques. Note that this work inspired LISA, a thesaurus-based comparison search application by Amin et al [1]. However, similar to the previously mentioned projects, a user is lost if they do not know in advance what type of information they are looking for.…”

We present ArtVis, an application combining advanced visualisation techniques and tangible interaction to explore a large digital collection of almost 28 000 European artworks managed by the Web Gallery of Art. In order to get new insights by exploring, analysing and browsing the artworks, our graphical ArtVis user interface offers three complementary but synchronised visualisation components. We further developed a tangible ArtVis user interface for the playful exploration and seamless integration of the digital artwork collection with physical artefacts. A formative evaluation of the ArtVis prototype revealed that users are able to answer relatively difficult questions as well as get some new insights based on the vast amount of data. A second user evaluation of the tangible ArtVis interface has shown that this sort of physical interaction attracts users and stimulates them to further explore the digital artwork collection.

“…Cultural heritage domain is formed by the sum of several tangible and intangible elements that GLAMs strive to preserve, conserve and disseminate. This great variety of cultural property forms, in turn, a large, rich and heterogeneous datasets where different organizations use different terminology to describe their objects [1][2]. In this sense, a museum can be understood as a large database where cultural heritage objects are guarded for their conservation and dissemination.…”

Weaving Words For Textile Museums: The Development of The Linked SILKNOW Thesaurus

The cultural heritage domain in general and silk textiles, in particular, are characterized by large, rich and heterogeneous data sets. Silk heritage vocabulary comes from multiple sources that have been mixed up across time and space. This has led to the use of different terminology in specialized organizations in order to describe their artefacts. This makes data interoperability between independent catalogues very difficult. To address these issues, SILKNOW created a multilingual thesaurus related to silk textiles. It was carried out by experts in textile terminology and art historians and computationally implemented by experts in text mining, multi-/cross-linguality and semantic extraction from text. This paper presents the rationale behind the realization of this thesaurus.
