Semantic Enrichment of Cultural Heritage content in PATHSpathsproject
Semantic Enrichment of Cultural Heritage content in PATHS, report by Mark Stevenson and Arantxa Otegi with Eneko Agirre, Nikos Aletras, Paul Clough, Samuel Fernando and Aitor Saroa.
The aim of the PATHS project is to enable exploration and discovery within cultural heritage collections. In order to support this the project developed a range of enrichment techniques which augmented these collections with additional information to enhance the users’ browsing experience. One of the demonstration systems developed in PATHS makes use of content from Europeana. This document summarises the semantic enrichment techniques developed in PATHS, with particular reference to their application to the Europeana data.
DanteSources is a focused digital library endowed with web services that allow visualizing information on Dante Alighieri’s primary sources in form of charts and tables. The visualized charts can be exported in various well-known formats like PDF and JPEG, but the data can be also exported in CSV format, to lend them to further analyses. DanteSources makes information about Dante’s primary sources available in digital format for the first time. Having the information about primary sources dispersed on paper books makes it difficult to
systematically overview how the cultural background of Dante evolved in time. On the other hand, the automatic visualization of data allows understanding the development of Dante’s cultural background in comparison with the different phases of his biography.

SHELDON is the first true hybridization of NLP machine reading and Semantic Web. It is a framework that builds upon a ma- chine reader for extracting RDF graphs from text so that the output is compliant to Semantic Web and Linked Data patterns. It extends the current human-readable web by using Semantic Web practices and technologies in a machine-processable form. Given a sentence in any language, it provides different semantic functionalities (frame detection, topic extraction, named entity recognition, resolution and coreference, terminology extraction, sense tagging and disambiguation, taxonomy induction, semantic role labeling, type induction, sentiment analysis, citation inference, relation and event extraction) as well as nice visualization tools which make use of the JavaScript infoVis Toolkit and RelFinder, as well as a knowledge enrichment component that extends machine reading to Semantic Web data. The system can be freely used at http://wit.istc.cnr.it/stlab-tools/sheldon.
Selective information from Historical Geographers: the case of the Dutch area...Sophie Visser
Selectivity is commonly built-in in information, hence as well in information on cultural landscape and heritage. Information selectivity is not trivial, as many information forms – for instance ´official´ and research-based GISs - are intended to serve as the informational basis for landscape and spatial policies, plans, designs and management. As these GISs foremost are made by landscape and heritage specialists, the information selectivity by specialists – resulting from personal, disciplinary, societal and technological backgrounds - is a main factor. So far, this hardly have been researched or discussed.
To study this among (mostly) historical geographers the rather unknown cultural landscape of the Dutch Piksen area (in the province of Overijssel) was chosen, thereby minimizing personal knowledge, values and perceptions. For the same reason an anonymous (no toponyms or other names) description, existing of text and some accompanying old maps, served as base document. The annual Dutch cultural landscape conference of 2009 – held in Overijssel - provided the research population. The respondents were asked to indicate which elements (words, sentences, and interrelationships) they find relevant or interesting to record either as knowledge or as values. The resulting data, description, and/or map would serve as base for local plans, landscape management, education, etcetera. The assignment was complemented by a small number of questions about the respondents backgrounds.
Despite the standardized conditions the variation was big, varying from just a few concepts or objects to all of the text, both in knowledge and in values. Generally speaking, what was seen as relevant for knowledge included more of the text than for values. The poster will present and discuss the results, both as such as well as in comparison with other, mostly official, information on the same area.

Informatie en informatiesystemen over het (cultuur)historische landschap: wat...Sophie Visser
Zoals bekend krijgt het (cultuur)historische landschap de laatste decennia veel aandacht. Het maken van informatie daarover is dan ook inmiddels een vanzelfsprekende zaak. Het rijk heeft dat al diverse malen gedaan, de provincies hebben het gedaan (en vaak herhaaldelijk), gemeenten hebben het gedaan of zijn er nog mee bezig. Maar waarom is dan toch vaak aanvullend onderzoek nodig, in ruimtelijke projecten of anderszins? Blijkbaar ligt (die) informatie vaak toch complexer. Eén oorzaak is dat gebruikssituaties toch steeds weer anders zijn terwijl men bij de informatie - zoals in cultuurhistorische (waarden)kaarten en andere vormen van (GIS-)informatiesystemen - bepaalde standaardsituaties voor ogen had. Ook kan de kijk op landschap en erfgoed en de onderzoeksbenadering die altijd in informatie schuilgaan wringen. Logischerwijs zou bij verandering daarvan - zoals door de landschapsbiografie, het meenemen van beleving, 'the ordinary landscape', etc. - ook de informatie moeten veranderen. Maar is dat ook altijd zo? En hoe zit het met de kijk op informatie en op ICT zelf en de manier waarop men daarmee omgaat, wat gewoonlijk eveneens gevolgen heeft? Informatie is er dus niet zomaar en is evenmin neutraal . De vraag naar waar informatie voor staat en wat deze betekent is daarmee voor hedendaagse informatiebronnen even belangrijk voor die uit het verleden. Dergelijke aspecten en vragen (en meer) zijn het onderwerp van deze lezing.
Landschap, geschiedenis en cultuurhistorie in informatie & communicatie van...Sophie Visser
Informatie over het cultuurhistorische landschap - veelal met name gemaakt voor gebruik in ruimtelijke ordening - blijkt nogal eens vragen op te roepen. Niet alleen is de informatie vaak onvolledig en summier, maar ook klopt deze lang niet altijd. In het kader van de cursus 'Filosofie en wandelen' van HOVO Utrecht kwam naast de rol van kunst ook de rol van informatie af en toe ter sprake. Dit leidde tot een extra bijeenkomst die op dezelfde leest was geschoeid als andere bijeenkomsten: een bespreking en toelichting gevolgd of voorafgegaan door een wandeling. Dat betrof het kleine landgoed Duivecate en omgeving bij Nijverdal (gemeente Hellendoorn, Overijssel), vlakbij de rivier de Regge.
The Right Information? A view from landscape, landscape management and afford...Sophie Visser
Cultural landscape information and information products consist of three intertwined aspects related to respectively ´cultural landscape´, ´information´ and ´information products´ . All three involve many activities and choices so as to make the final product (e.g. an information system). Certain approaches, viewpoints, starting points and opinions on all three aspects implicitly or explicitly get represented in the information. As a result, information is not necessarily neutral or factual and may foremost be tailored to the needs of the directly involved stakeholders ('the makers') and their purposes, actions, contexts and knowledge needs. In many cases, though, other users are disregarded in this process, whether or not seen as potential users from the start. Hence, their purposes, perceptions, and actions should be or become an issue as well, as information is generally meant to be used as knowledge in some action – e.g. landscape policy, planning or design - by somebody in some context. The affordances of information for that goal is crucial and are therefore the core of the usability of that information. This contribution discusses affordances (or constraints) and their causes and consequences, based on some typical information systems on cultural landscapes.
Vormen in veelvoud: bebouwingslinten in Waarder - Lange Weide Sophie Visser
Bebouwingslinten vormen een bekend en belangrijk aspect van het landschap van de veenontginningen zoals in het Groene Hart. De vraag hoe de kwaliteiten ervan - zowel de cultuurhistorische als de 'groene'- behouden kunnen blijven zonder er een openluchtmuseum van te maken is dan eveneens belangrijk. In 2011 organiseerde Landschapsbeheer Zuid-Holland samen met de gemeente Bodegraven-Reeuwijk op enkele plekken meedenkavonden voor de bewoners. Een van die plekken is Waarder - Lange Weide, in het oosten van de gemeente. Deze presentatie ging in op de cultuurhistorie en hoe deze was ontstaan.

Putting digital historical geography into perspective(s)Sophie Visser
Digital historical geography might be expected to comprise a similar set of approaches and methods as in digital cartography, digital humanities - which includes digital history and may include digital heritage - and digital (historical) landscape. Apparently, though, it emerged as such only rather recently. In practice, it may use the results of these other disciplines or may apply the same kind of methods to make and communicate its own information results. This situation leads to several questions. Firstly, where does digital historical geography actually stand in this arena of digital disciplines? What then is specific for digital historical geography? Secondly, what does ’digital’ mean? Does only computerized information count in that respect, and more specifically GISses? Thirdly, is it foremost about data, inputs and/or outputs or also about the process of historical geography? For instance, digital humanities also includes the research process, while digital heritage or digital landscape focus on outputs and data. Fourthly, do purpose and audience make any difference? This presentation explores these questions briefly with the use of some examples.
The peat landscapes of Holland: a matter of opportunities and challenges Sophie Visser
Holland is well-known for its peat landscapes dating from the Middle Ages on. These landscapes are threatened now as the peat gets lower and lower. This presentation explained the general developments and present situation in the area of Gouda-Nieuwkoop - being a part of the Green Heart of Holland - and ends up with questions of what to do now. The presentation was part of the excursion program for a group of international geologists,

This presentation given to University of Iowa Libraries on Nov. 17, 2014, discussing 1) the alphabet soup of metadata standards, e.g. CDM, VRA, CCO, METS, MODS, RDF, including sample tagging and their applications for digital libraries, and 2) why metadata matters. It does not address metadata issues and tools for metadata creation, extraction, transformation, quality control, syndication and ingest.
Digital cultural heritage as humanities data: a labs approachSally Chambers
This presentation was given on 17th April 2020 as part of a #DH Hangout (during the Corona Virus) instigated by Lancaster University Digital Humanities Hub and Co-Organised by the Ghent Centre of Digital Humanities and the Digital Humanities Lab (DH_Lab) associated with NOVA-FCSH of Universidade NOVA de Lisboa.
Library labs as experimental incubators for digital humanities researchSally Chambers
This presentation was delivered as one of the keynotes at the 23rd International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries (TPDL 2019) on 9-12 September 2019 at OsloMet - Oslo Metropolitan University, Oslo, Norway. http://www.tpdl.eu/tpdl2019/keynotes/
Can we consider libraries as the laboratories of the humanities? If so, would they be good places to observe and better understand the everyday practices of the humanist at work? Similarly, can the notion of the laboratory as a place of scientific experimentation be applied to libraries as a place to experiment with digital cultural heritage collections? Could “library labs” enable humanities researchers, cultural heritage professionals and computer scientists to work more closely together to push the boundaries of contemporary humanistic enquiry? Using Bruno Latour’s anthropological observations of the scientific practices of biologists in their laboratory as a starting point, we will consider the concept of libraries as the laboratories of the humanities. Extending this concept further, we will consider, “what is a library lab?” by examining the activities of library labs internationally. Finally, we will introduce the emerging Digital Research Lab at the Royal Library of Belgium (KBR) as part of a long-term collaboration with the Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities (GhentCDH). Using “KBR Labs” as a case study, we will consider the role that library labs could play as experimental incubators for digital humanities research.
Investigating the PROMISE of a Belgian web archive Sally Chambers
Presentation held (remotely) at: The "Web Archiving: Best Practices for Digital Cultural Heritage" international conference is organized by The National Library of Israel and the Open Media and Information Lab (OMILab) at the Open University of Israel. (http://webarchiving2018.nli.org.il)
The Belgian web is not currently systematically archived. As a result, there is a considerable risk that a significant portion of Belgian contemporary history will be lost forever. To prevent this, the Belgian Science Policy Office (BELSPO) funded the PROMISE (Preserving Online Multiple Information: towards a Belgian Strategy) project The aim of PROMISE is to: (i) identify current best practices in web-archiving (ii) pilot web-archiving in Belgium, including access (and use) for scientific research, and (iii) make recommendations for a sustainable web-archiving service for Belgium. This paper will present the current status of the PROMISE project, including the latest results.

This is the general picture of what the EDM is designed to support. The bottom layer shows networked objects that may (or may not) be linked to each other by explicit statements in the metadata. The upper layer shows how they can be linked using semantic web technology - by adding a layer of meaning that can be searched to make links that have not been explicitly stated in the metadata – and mostly these links are not made by data provider but by reference to semantic resources such as controlled vocabularies and authority files: in particular we hope to enrich data by additon or links to names and places using VIAF and Geonames.
