Support for content selection and Semantic Annotation

• Disaggregation of Resources

– Required due to the technical constraint that granularity of resources be at the atomic level – basic files and no composites like Word, PPT, pdf etc

– Proposed solution: provide the Content partners with tools for disaggregating resources into their atomic parts for annotation

– Internal deliverable ID 1.2Report on some tools for the disaggregation of cultural digital objects

• Google Custom Search Engine on Jewish Cultural Heritage sources

– http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=016599512364755762122%3Ahlp9hqhjwae click here

– Tool to facilitate partners’ access to specific resources for annotation defining the subjects and the kind of files they are seeking.

Updated D1.1 Selection of Web-based resources in Jewish Heritage


Semantic Annotation

• Partners initial chosen subjects and the minimum target of resources to be annotated by each of them

– ORT Purim and others (1800)

– COI Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (1200)

– Technion Mendelssohn Family, Hanukia, Rosalind Elise Franklin, Rita-Levi Montalcini, Anglo-Jewish Association, Montefiore Family, Jacob Cohen (1000)

– MAKASH Music, maps, photographs - spanning geographical areas, Jewish holidays and ritual, life cycle (1000)

• Examples of main subjects for further annotation

– Jewish Holidays and ritual

– Jewish Life cycle - from birth to death and in-between...

– Jewish History


Domain Ontologies

• Radical reengineering of the deployment

• Emphasis on multicultural character:– Division between Jewish cultural heritage ontology and generic

cultural heritage ontology

– Evaluation of the generic cultural heritage ontology

• Introduction of “multifaceted” classes

• Restructuring and completion of the generic classes (location and periods)


Deployment


Multifaceted Classes

• Modeling problem known as multiple classification criteria

• Allows multiple divisions of a

class in parallel

• Each division is a separate view

• Also allows grouping of

subclasses (MOSAICA top-level classes)


Future Work

• Second round of annotation of the same resources annotated so far

– Rights , Original context, Missing concepts in the ontology

• Completing the annotation of at least 5,000 resources

• Linkage to additional EUROPEANA related projects – Athena, EDLocal, EFG

– Potential test-beds for MOSAICA tools

– Dissemination and business partners

• Ontologies:

– more restructuring (tedious and time consuming)

– Translation (French, Polish … Hebrew?)

– More natural language (and in all languages)
