Will the rich domain knowledge from research publications and the implicit cross-domain metadata of cultural objects be compliant with each other? A contextual framework is proposed as dynamic and relational in supporting three different contexts: Reusing, Publication and Curation, which are individually constructed but overlapped with major conceptual elements. A Relations for Reusing (R4R) ontology has been devised for modeling these overlapping
conceptual components (Article, Data, Code, Provence, and License) for interlinking research outputs and cultural heritage data. In particular, packaging and citation relations are key to build up interpretations for dynamic contexts. Examples are provided for illustrating how the linking mechanism can be constructed and represented as a result to reveal the data linked in different contexts.

11. A digital object Y curated in a digital museum, is a cultural object Ywith rich metadata descriptions.
This cultural object Y that is reused by an academic article is not a cultural object but a science object Z that can be viewed under different context perspectives.
By a definition of Zimmermann et al.(2007), “when the contexts of two entities overlap and parts of the context information become similar andshared,” a shared context emerges

Interpretation
Preservation (object)
The Interpretantof a contextual setting is the Interpretation that is made of the setting. In this study, the interpretation is taken from the view of Zimmermann et.al. (2007) on Relations Context that context information captures the relations an entity has recognized to the others.
The Object is the entity to which the context setting points, refers or applies. In this
study, it is the specific preservation object that the authors, users, and curators refer
to. The original “Object” has been adjusted to the object preservation for “Preservation” to describe associated activities.
25. The triadic sign theory has been empirically applied as an
analytical framework for dynamic and complex composition.

37. 4. Use Case
In the fowling, we will use R4R and different contexts to represent an example of interlinked data between research publications and a cultural object curated in Digital Archive Taiwan.
How a shared context between different domains like research publications & LAM collections help us enrich contextual information and make our data better?

44. Provenance& licenseconcerns are notfully respected and implemented in existing practices, or have been curated as metadata in local curation that are notaccessible or downloadable.
Thus, we use hasProvenanceand hasLicensefor creating relationships for local curation or for sharing publications.
45. For Reusing, context transitions occur, and according to Zimmermann et.al. (2007) , context attributeswill change when one context enters another, and thus Provenance or License, or both can be packaged with RRObject for reusing purposes.
For such uses of the relation, isPackagedWith, RRObject (article/data/code) and
RRPolicy (provenance/license) are reachable and accessible for changing the original Publication and Curation contexts for a shift of the Reusing context.

55. The Result 1 -a contextual framework:
Three dynamic contexts are expressed through a 3x3 matrix representing 9 conceptual components.
56. 3 Activity Contexts
R
P
I
We apply the triadic sign setting for decomposing the
three activity contexts with associated 9 elements.
9 major conceptual elements
This framework is inspired by context related theories and
Charles Peirce’s sign theory (semiotics).
57. In other words, this contextual framework is dynamic & relational
in supporting 3 contexts which are identified by different
activities of 3 actors (user/author/curator).
Activity Contexts: (Reusing/ Publication/ Curation)
• individually constructed through the triadic sign
setting: Representation-Preservation-Interpretation
(R-P-I).
• overlapped with 9 major conceptual elements
(reflecting 3 dynamic contexts with relational
associations to the R-P-I setting .

58. TheR4R ontology isanInterpretation in the Curation Context that represents Ontological Relations to interpret and model relations between 5 conceptual components (Article, Data, Code, Provence, andLicense). The Result 2 -a R4R ontology
60. Advantages for using these two results:
System designers, developers & curators have a contextual framework & ontology to assist them to:
1.identify major componentsin different contexts.
2.using R4R ontology to build relations between data from different domains.
3.explore meanings through the common understanding of the shared context.
62. The future work:
http://guava.iis.sinica.edu.tw/r4r/examples/possible_scenarios_for_different_contexts
63. We would also like to invite you to participate in validating this contextual framework and the R4R ontology.
1.Provide your use cases from your own domain to help increase internal/external semantic relations within this systematic framework.
2.Or suggest related data repositories and vocabularies to enrich possible usages for the R4R term concepts.
