“…Initial development of /facet has been heavily inspired by the facet interface of the MuseumFinland portal [2]. Where we focus on supporting a more heterogeneous dataset with loosely coupled collections and thesauri from external sources.…”

“…The faceted search paradigm [16] was chosen as the basis for the search facilities in the HealthFinland portal, as it had been successfully applied in other semantic search systems [9,15]. In faceted search, users navigate and make search queries in the portal by making category selections along the available facets.…”

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.

“…Important initiatives for representing knowledge on the SW, such as Dublin Core [1] or SKOS [2], have been driven by expertise and requirements from the CH domain. In turn, many recent projects have largely benefited from using SW techniques to make CH material accessible more easily, e.g., in [3,4].…”

Abstract. In this paper, we report on a technology-transfer effort on using the Semantic Web (SW) technologies, esp. ontology matching, for solving a real-life library problem: book subject indexing. Our purpose is to streamline one library's book description process by suggesting new subjects based on descriptions created by other institutions, even when the vocabularies used are different. The case at hand concerns the National Library of the Netherlands (KB) and the network of Dutch local public libraries. We present a prototype subject suggestion tool, which is directly connected to the KB production cataloguing environment. We also report on the results of a user study and evaluation to assess the feasibility of exploiting state-of-the art techniques in such a reallife application. Our prototype demonstrates that SW components can be seamlessly plugged into the KB production environment, which potentially brings a higher level of flexibility and openness to networked Cultural Heritage (CH) institutions. Technical hurdles can be tackled and the suggested subjects are often relevant, opening up exciting new perspectives on the daily work of the KB. However, the general performance level should be made higher to warrant seamless embedding in the production environment-notably by considering more contextual metadata for the suggestion process.
