Abstract. In this paper we present an approach for personalized access to museum collections. We use a RDF/OWL specification of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam collections as a driver for an interactive dialog. The user gives his/her judgment on the artefacts, indicating likes or dislikes. The elicited user model is further used for generating recommendations of artefacts and topics. In this way we support exploration and discovery of information in museum collections. A user study provided insights in characteristics of our target user group, and showed how novice and expert users employ their background knowledge and implicit interest in order to elicit their art preference in the museum collections.

“…The vision and implementation of CULTURESAMPO goes beyond current semantic web portals for cultural heritage [1], such as MuseumFinland [11], MultimediaN 2006 [12], and CHIP Demonstrator 2007 [13]: The CULTURESAMPO system 1) is highly crossdomain with lots of content types and metadata schemas (usually only one schema such as Dublin Core or VRA is used), 2) it makes use of sophisticated semantic annotation models including events and processes, 3) it uses new kind of semantic search and recommendation techniques, 4) it has exceptionally versatile selection of semantic visualizations available (different map views, timelines, graphs, process visualization, semantic video viewing), 5) it is based on a large nation wide collaboratively maintained infrastructure of ontologies and ontology services, 6) it includes a model of and tools for collaborative semantic content creation, and 7) the services are available for machines, too.…”

Abstract. CULTURESAMPO is an application demonstration of a national level publication system of cultural heritage contents on the Web, based on ideas and technologies of the Semantic (Web and) Web 2.0. On the semantic side, the system presents new solutions to interoperability problems of dealing with multiple ontologies of different domains, and to problems of integrating multiple metadata schemas and cross-domain content into a homogeneous semantic portal. A novelty of the system is to use semantic models based on events and narrative process descriptions for modeling and visualizing cultural phenomena, and for semantic recommendations. On the Web 2.0 side, CULTURESAMPO proposes and demonstrates a content creation process for collaborative, distributed ontology and content development including different memory organizations and citizens. The system provides the cultural heritage contents to end-users in a new way through multiple (nine) thematic perspectives, based on semantic visualizations. Furthermore, CULTURESAMPO services are available for external web-applications to use through semantic AJAX widgets. A Basis for Cultural Heritage on the Semantic WebIn our view, a cross-domain semantic cultural heritage portal [1] should be built on three pillars: First we need a cross-domain content infrastructure of ontologies, metadata standards, and related services, that is developed and maintained on a global level through collaborative local efforts. Second, the process of producing ontologically harmonized metadata should be organized in a collaborative fashion, where distributed content producers create semantically correct annotations cost-efficiently through centralized services. Third, the contents should be made available to human end-users and machines thought intelligent search, browsing, and visualization techniques. For machines, easy to use mash-up APIs and web services should be available. In this way, the collaboratively aggregated, semantically enriched knowledge base can be exposed and reused easily as services in other portals and applications in the same vein as Google Ads or Maps 1 .1

“…The idea of the HealthFinland portal architecture and ontology-based faceted search was inspired by earlier semantic portals such as SWED [28], the MultimediaN E-culture demonstrator [31] and MuseumFinland [15]. An early approach of creating and using an ontology infrastructure is presented in [22].…”

Providing citizens with reliable, up-to-date and individually relevant health information on the web is done by governmental, non-governmental, business and other organizations. Currently the information is published with little co-ordination and co-operation between the publishers. For publishers, this means duplicated work and costs due to publishing same information twice on many websites. Also maintaining links between websites requires work. From the citizens point of view, finding content is difficult due to e.g. differences in layman's vocabularies compared to medical terminology and difficulties in aggregating information from several sites. To solve these problems, we present a national scale semantic publishing system HealthFinland which consists of a 1) a centralized content infrastructure of health ontologies and services with tools, 2) a distributed semantic content creation channel based on several health organizations, and 3) an intelligent semantic portal aggregating and presenting the contents from intuitive and health promoting end-user perspectives for human users as well as for other websites and portals.
