Knowledge organization and development of better information retrieval techniques were of great importance from a very early time period in human history. The need has grown high for such systems with the advent of digitization and the web era. Computer systems and web have offered easier retrieval of information in almost no time. However, as the amount of data increased, these systems were not able to work well in terms of accuracy and precision of retrieval. Semantic Web concept was introduced to overcome the issue by converting the web of documents to a web of data. Semantic Web technologies makes data machine-understandable so that information retrieval can be more precise and accurate. The Cultural Heritage (CH) community, with the goal of preserving and dissemination of the historical information to people and society, is one of the first domains to adopt Semantic Web recommendations and technologies, which can provide interoperability between various organizations by creating a shared understanding in the community. The data in the CH domain differs widely with types and formats. Also, a lot of organizations and experts from various fields interact through different processes within this community. Due to the mentioned needs, the CH community employed Semantic Web technologies step by step along its evolution process for better knowledge management and a uniform understanding among the community. In this study, we present a comprehensive conceptual framework that spans cultural heritage, information modeling, and information retrieval. Our model addresses early solutions in knowledge organization systems, highlighting the evolution from classification systems and controlled vocabularies to the significance of metadata schemas. We delve into the limitations of traditional knowledge organization systems and the necessity of formal ontologies, particularly in the cultural heritage domain. The comparative analysis of CRM vs. EDM, ontology-based metadata interoperability, and ontology technologies elucidate our contributions to the field. This paper outlines the process from the initial steps of adopting Semantic Web technologies in the CH domain to the latest developments in CH information retrieval. In this paper, we also reviewed intelligent applications and services developed in the CH domain after establishing semantic data models and Knowledge Organization Systems. Finally, challenges and possible future research directions are discussed. The findings revealed that GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) are excellent and comprehensive sources of CH information. The CH community has put in a lot of time and effort to develop data models and knowledge organization tools; now it's time to use this valuable resource to construct smart applications that are still in their early phases. This could benefit the CH industry even more.

“…For example, the lower the complexity of the subjective operation, the easier the system is to use, the higher the userfriendliness of the system [21]. The user interface's ease of use, fun, and artistry are all key to attracting readers [22]. Liu [23] suggests in his goal-oriented interaction design about users that it is important for designers to understand users' psychological perceptions and usage habits.…”

Introduction. The development of network technology is promoting the process of digitalization. The digital museum, an emerging museum display mode, is gradually highlighting its great value in the wave of digitalization. In the context of the rapid development of digital museums and mobile applications, the user interface of digital museums, as the integration point of human-computer interaction, the artistic expression of its visual design is also more important. This paper takes the digital museum application (APP) user interface design as the research direction. By optimizing the visual design of the interface, the user’s operating experience is improved, so that users can enjoy an orderly, time-saving, efficient, comfortable, and interesting interactive experience. Methods. User interface design to analyze related theories such as target-oriented design and visual hierarchy design and dig out the manifestation of user goals in the museum’s APP visual hierarchy and clarify the design content. Use qualitative and quantitative user research methods to conduct demand research for museum users and build user role models. Build user role target task model. Determine the function settings of the museum’s APP and establish an information structure. Secondly, build a low-fidelity model through the level analysis of the visual elements in the interface and use the low-fidelity prototype test to guide the museum’s APP visual level design. The interface visual level elements are integrated into the museum’s APP visual level framework and integrated with the museum’s characteristics Together, put forward the visual hierarchical design strategy of the museum APP. Results. A new model for the dissemination and display of cultural information resources by transposing the display of museum information content fusion to the works of the digital platform. The ease of use, fun, and artistic quality of the user interface of the digital museum are the keys to attracting users. Through the summary of the theory and the construction of the design strategy, we build and design a museum APP that meets the user’s experience, meets the user’s goals, and has a good visual hierarchy. The experimental results show that the largest number of people, 62.6%, wanted to learn about local culture by visiting museums. The number of people whose purpose was to travel and the study was the next highest, and they accounted for an equal share, 43.1% and 40.6%, respectively. A smaller number, 23.4%, attended museums for hobbies and interests. The number of people who visit museums for research purposes is even lower, at 11.9%. Through usability testing and user satisfaction analysis of the design model, the rationality and effectiveness of the design strategy are verified, which can provide appropriate guidance for museum app design. Conclusion. The problems encountered in the visual design and production of digital museums and the solutions were discussed, and through a comparative analysis with other digital museum visual designs, it provided theoretical and practical basis for the construction and research of digital museum visual design in the future. Our digital museum user interface design is based on user needs and solves the previous problem of users not understanding how to use the museum app effectively.

INTRODUCTION: Recent advances in ubiquitous computing technologies have enabled anywhere, anytime personalized services to the museum ubiquitous visitors without any explicit requests. The system utilizes visitor, device, network, and other application related context information to provide required services to the museum ubiquitous visitors. OBJECTIVES: In this work, we propose the formation of Essential Context-derived Reasons (ECR) from the context information of the museum ubiquitous visitors, which enables to provide required exhibit information museum services to the visitors. METHODS: Context information of museum ubiquitous visitors is acquired and processed with multiple combinations to formulate into Composite Context which further leads to ECR. ECR provides an accurate understanding of museum ubiquitous visitor's requirements to provide the required services. We conducted simulation with relevant context information parameters and their percentage accuracy of acquisition and evaluates the accuracy of ECR. RESULTS: Over 200 experiments, we found that for 90% context information available with high accuracy, the accuracy of CC ranges from 0.69 to 0.89, and the accuracy of ECR ranges from 0.77 to 0.95. This indicates that the effect of some of the inaccurately available context information of the museum ubiquitous visitors is proportionally mitigated by the other accurately available context information with their multiple combinations. CONCLUSION: The simulation results show that the accuracy of ECR increases with the increase in reference structures of multiple combinations of accurately available context information of the museum ubiquitous visitors, which further enables to provide required exhibit information museum services to the visitors.
