SPARQL
Missing Piece A Multilingual SPARQL-Based Retrieval Interface for Cultural Heritage Objects
Reason-able View Linked Open Data
from the Cultural Heritage domain Gothenburg City Museum
Europeana, DBPedia, CIDOC-CRM
SPARQL End-point
Coverage: 1159 query patterns in 15 languages: Bulgarian, Finish, Norwegian, Catalan, French, Romania, Danish, Hebrew, Russian, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, English, German, Swedish 10 characteristics of cultural heritage objects: creation date, time period, material, title, dimension, current location (museum and city), color, author, type
Evaluation Random queries in 7 languages with very few native informants corrections
Extendibility Writing a new query grammar requires 150 lines of code

Multilingual Single Digital Market
• Break the language blocking – Single languages address no more than 20% of the Digital Single
Market
• Enable seamless use of all official languages of the EU – Ensure open access to over 50% of the world’s online
population and 73% of the world online market – Approximately 60% of individuals in non-Anglophone countries
seldom or never make online purchases from English-language sites
• Language technology made in Europe – will transform Europe into a world-wide leader in technology
innovation – Will secure Europe’s future as a world-wide trader and
exporter of goods, services and information
