“…While exposing the Zeri Photo, the authors developed two ontologies (F Entry Ontology and OA ontology) to map data coming from the two Italian standards developed by the ICCD (Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo e la Documentazione, or Central Institute for the Cataloguing and Documentation), the Scheda F (Scheda di Fotografia, or Photography Entry in English) and Scheda OA (Scheda Opera d'Arte, or Work of Art Entry in English). The two ontologies were mapped with CIDOC-CRM as well as HiCO (historical context ontology) [9], PRO (publishing roles ontology) [10] and FaBIO (FRBR-aligned bibliographic ontology) [11], which guarantees the possibility of adding information related to, respectively, the provenance of assertions, the roles of the agents dealing with the artworks and the position of the object in relation to the FRBR (functional requirements for bibliographic records) model. Moreover, thanks to an extension and mapping between HiCO and PROV-O (PROVenance ontology), the ontology allows the recording of information in regard to the influence between works of art.…”

The perception of our heritage is based on sign-functions, which relate visual representations to cognitive types, allowing us to make perceptual judgements over physical objects. The recording of these types of assertions is paramount for the comprehension and analysis of our heritage. The article investigates a theoretical framework for the organization of information related to visual works on the basis of the identity and symbolic value of their single constituent elements. The framework developed is then used as a driver for the grounding of a new ontology called VIR (Visual Representation), constructed as an extension of CIDOC-CRM (CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model). VIR sustains the recording of statements about the different structural units and relationships of a visual representation, differentiating between object and interpretative act. The result, tested with data describing Byzantine and Renaissance artworks, presents solutions for describing symbols and meanings of iconographical objects, providing new clustering methods in relation to their constitutive elements, subjects or interpretations.

Research Articles in Simplified HTML; Peroni et al, 2017) Na koniec warto przywołać tezę Petera Miki (Mika, 2007), który podkreślił, że ontologie oraz Sieć Semantyczna, w ramach której funkcjonują są przeznaczone do przetwarzania przez aplikacje, ale proces ich tworzenia i zarządzania ma charakter społeczny.…”

Cel/Teza: Celem artykułu jest charakterystyka trzech ontologii opracowanych na potrzeby semantycznego publikowania, których przedmiotem opisu jest artykuł naukowy: SciAnnotDoc, Scholarly Papers Vocabulary with Focus on Qualtitative Analysis, Document Components Ontology.Koncepcja/Metody badań: Przeprowadzona charakterystyka ontologii wpisuje się w koncepcję oceny ontologii opartej na interpretacji obecnych w niej postulatów znaczeniowych. Charakterystyka każdej ontologii obejmuje określenie jej zakresu tematycznego, kontekstu powstania, podstawowych założeń ontologicznych oraz próbę ujawnienia jej postaw epistemicznych.Wyniki i wnioski: Charakterystyka struktur pojęciowych leżących u podstaw trzech ontologii sieciowych, których celem była reprezentacja artykułu naukowego na potrzeby semantycznego publikowania daje obraz modelu konceptualnego tego artefaktu naukowego, w którym przede wszystkim eksponuje się elementy pełniące określoną funkcję retoryczną. W przeanalizowanych przypadkach model IMRaD nie był podstawowym schematem organizacji treści artykułu naukowego. Ujawnienie postaw epistemicznych w procesie projektowania ontologii nie było możliwe we wszystkich przypadkach. Tam, gdzie jednak udało się to określić, widać zarówno postawy obiektywistyczne, jak i interpretatywne, a także obecność determinantów o charakterze pragmatycznym.Oryginalność/Wartość poznawcza: Modelowanie konceptualne, będące jednym z początkowych etapów projektowania ontologii, jest zdeterminowane określoną postawą epistemiczną, tzn. stosunkiem projektanta do rzeczywistości, który za pomocą ontologii stara się odwzorować jej fragment. Ujawnienie takich postaw jest istotne z punktu widzenia zrozumienia kontekstu postulatów znaczeniowych obecnych w ontologiach sieciowych.

“…In particular, FaBiO [22] was chosen for managing bibliographies according to the FRBR approach [14], CiTO [22] was reused for describing the different citations that cataloguers provide to support their attributions, and PRO [23] was fundamental for documenting people's role in photographic, arts, publishing and cataloguing domains. HiCO [6], was created by extending PROV-O [16], in order to describe the interpretation process relative to subjective attributions, a fundamental aspect of our conceptualization. And of course CIDOC-CRM [17] was finally used in order to describe all the features directly related to catalogued objects, so as to guarantee semantic interoperability between stakeholders.…”

“…Existing ontologies have been imported into FEO so as to provide a precise description of specific aspects of the domain in consideration. In particular, we imported the FRBR-aligned Bibliographic Ontology (FaBiO, prefix fabio) [22], the Publishing Roles Ontology (PRO, prefix pro) [23], the Historical Context Ontology (HiCO, prefix hico) [6], and the Citation Typing Ontology (CiTO, prefix cito) [22]. In addition to terms from these ontologies, terms from an OWL 2 DL version of FRBR (prefix frbr, http://purl.org/spar/frbr, imported by FaBiO) are also used, so as to represent hierarchical and associative relations between the main entities, as well as terms defined in the Provenance Ontology (PROV-O, prefix prov) [16].…”

Describing cultural heritage objects from the perspective of Linked Open Data (LOD) is not a trivial task. The process often requires not only choosing pertinent ontologies, but also developing new models that preserve the most information and express the semantic power of cultural heritage data. Indeed, data managed in archives, libraries and museums are complex objects themselves, which require a deep reflection on even non-conventional conceptual models. Starting from these considerations, this paper describes a research project: to expose the vastness of one of the most important collections of European cultural heritage, the Zeri Photo Archive, as Linked Open Data. We describe here the steps we undertook to this end: firstly, we developed two ad hoc ontologies for describing all the issues not completely covered by existent models (the F Entry and the OA Entry Ontology); then we mapped into RDF the descriptive elements used in the current Zeri Photo Archive catalog, converting into CIDOC-CRM and into the two new aforementioned models the source data based on the Italian content standards Scheda F (Photography Entry, in English) and Scheda OA (Work of Art Entry, in English); and finally, we created an RDF dataset of the output of the mapping that could show a result capable of demonstrating the complexity of our scenario.
