“…Because of the inherently visual nature of image objects, we observe that many of the surveyed approaches are tailored for image objects and display the images themselves. However, approaches focusing on other object types can likewise include a visual representation (as an example, books and newspapers can be visually represented by their cover images [18], [52], videos by a still [53], and 3D objects by a 2D rendering [54]). Moreover, the content of objects can be treated as data and processed or analyzed to derive additional metadata and better organize the visualized collection.…”

After decades of digitization, large cultural heritage collections have emerged on the web, which contain massive stocks of content from galleries, libraries, archives, and museums. This increase in digital cultural heritage data promises new modes of analysis and increased levels of access for academic scholars and casual users alike. Going beyond the standard representations of search-centric and grid-based interfaces, a multitude of approaches has recently started to enable visual access to cultural collections, and to explore them as complex and comprehensive information spaces by the means of interactive visualizations. In contrast to conventional web interfaces, we witness a widening spectrum of innovative visualization types specially designed for rich collections from the cultural heritage sector. This new class of information visualizations gives rise to a notable diversity of interaction and representation techniques while lending currency and urgency to a discussion about principles such as serendipity, generosity, and criticality in connection with visualization design. With this survey, we review information visualization approaches to digital cultural heritage collections and reflect on the state of the art in techniques and design choices. We contextualize our survey with humanist perspectives on the field and point out opportunities for future research.

“…Other efforts have been directed to the identification of specific types of events, such as conflict or communication events (Ide and Woolner 2004;Cybulska and Vossen 2011). Finally, more recent works have adopted crowdsourcing techniques or a frame-based approach (De Boer et al 2015;Fokkens et al 2018). Additionally, data annotated with events in this domain and publicly released are scarce: Exceptions are the ModeS TimeBank (Guerrero Nieto, Saurì, and Bernabé Poveda 2011) with Spanish texts from the eighteenth century and the De Gasperi corpus (Speranza and Sprugnoli 2018), a collection of documents written by the Italian statesman Alcide de Gasperi at the beginning of the twentieth century.…”

Event processing is an active area of research in the Natural Language Processing community, but resources and automatic systems developed so far have mainly addressed contemporary texts. However, the recognition and elaboration of events is a crucial step when dealing with historical texts Particularly in the current era of massive digitization of historical sources: Research in this domain can lead to the development of methodologies and tools that can assist historians in enhancing their work, while having an impact also on the field of Natural Language Processing. Our work aims at shedding light on the complex concept of events when dealing with historical texts. More specifically, we introduce new annotation guidelines for event mentions and types, categorized into 22 classes. Then, we annotate a historical corpus accordingly, and compare two approaches for automatic event detection and classification following this novel scheme. We believe that this work can foster research in a field of inquiry as yet underestimated in the area of Temporal Information Processing. To this end, we release new annotation guidelines, a corpus, and new models for automatic annotation.

“…Many projects in this research area provide semantic models centered on the notion of (historical) event, e.g., the Europeana Data Model (i.e., the metadata model adopted within Europeana) [28], the Event Ontology (purl.org/NET/c4dm/event.owl), LODE [38], SEM [24] used within projects such as Agora [2] and DIVE [5], supporting users in event-centric browsing of cultural heritage items.…”

In this paper we show that an ontology-based approach can be beneficial for enhancing the access to cultural resources, and in particular historical documents. The paper starts with an overview of our approach, aimed at providing online archival systems with a semantic layer based on Semantic Web standards (OWL 2 and RDF). Two projects are introduced, namely Harlock900 and PRiSMHA, carried out in collaboration with local cultural institutions owning rich historical archives. In particular, the paper describes the computational ontologies supporting the approach, and then focuses on two case studies showing that our framework provides better results if compared with standard access systems. The case studies show the enhancement provided by a semantically rich representation of time intervals and a detailed formal description of events and their participants.
