This paper relies on the idea that a semantically rich metadata layer is required in order to provide an effective, intelligent and engaging access to historical archives. However, building such a semantic layer represents a well-known bottleneck that can be overcome only by a hybrid strategy, integrating user-generated content and automatic techniques. The PRiSMHA project provides a contribution in this direction with the design and development of the prototype of an ontology-driven platform supporting users in semantic metadata generation. In particular, the main contribution of this paper is to show how automatic information extraction techniques (namely, Named Entity and Temporal Expression Recognition), and information retrieved from external datasets in the LOD cloud can support users in the identification and characterization of new entities to annotate documents with.

“…Ontologies are a formal representation of categories, properties, and relations between concepts [15]. An ontology is usually employed to extensively represent a specific domain, thus providing for it a semantic vocabulary, but it also defines a schema that can be interconnected with already developed cross-domain knowledge bases, in order to achieve interoperability [16]. One of the multiple applications of an ontology is to serve as a semantic model for document annotation in those scenarios where users are required to enrich a document by exploiting the vocabulary provided by the ontology.…”

Wikidata Support in the Creation of Rich Semantic Metadata for Historical Archives

The research question this paper aims at answering is the following: In an ontology-driven annotation system, can the information extracted from external resources (namely, Wikidata) provide users with useful suggestions in the characterization of entities used for the annotation of documents from historical archives? The context of the research is the PRiSMHA project, in which the main goal is the development of a proof-of-concept prototype ontology-driven system for semantic metadata generation. The assumption behind this effort is that an effective access to historical archives needs a rich semantic knowledge, relying on a domain ontology, that describes the content of archival resources. In the paper, we present a new feature of the annotation system: when characterizing a new entity (e.g., a person), some properties describing it are automatically pre-filled in, and more complex semantic representations (e.g., events the entity is involved in) are suggested; both kinds of suggestions are based on information retrieved from Wikidata. In the paper, we describe the automatic algorithm devised to support the definition of the mappings between the Wikidata semantic model and the PRiSMHA ontology, as well as the process used to extract information from Wikidata and to generate suggestions based on the defined mappings. Finally, we discuss the results of a qualitative evaluation of the suggestions, which provides a positive answer to the initial research question and indicates possible improvements.

To overcome the problems of low evaluation accuracy and efficiency existing in traditional resource development efficiency evaluation methods, this paper proposes a new evaluation method of cultural industry tourism resource development effect based on wireless sensor technology. The method takes into account the data of cultural industry resource development collected by the wireless sensors and transmits it to the computer system by wireless transmission technology. Based on the collected development data, the evaluation index system is constructed and the index weight is calculated. Furthermore, the multiobjective weighted function is employed to calculate the development effect evaluation score and complete the evaluation of cultural industry resources development effect. Experimental results show that the proposed method can successfully improve the evaluation accuracy and efficiency, and the highest evaluation accuracy is stable at 98%. Therefore, this method has high reliability.
