“…That is to say the coordinate of a super node vector is a linear combination of the other super node vector of a network in Cartesian coordinate system. Thus, relative positions and skeleton of a network are preserved by the distances between each pair of super nodes [7,9].…”

Network representation learning (NRL) aims to convert nodes of a network into vector forms in Euclidean space. The information of a network is needed to be preserved as much as possible when NRL converts nodes into vector representation. A hybrid approach proposed in this paper is a framework to improve other NRL methods by considering the structure of densely connected nodes (community-like structure). HARP [1] is to contract a network into a series of contracted networks and embed them from the high-level contracted network to the low-level one. The vector representation (or embedding) for a high-level contracted network is used to initialize the learning process of a low-level contracted graph hierarchically. In this method (Hybrid Approach), HARP is revised by using a well-designed initialization process on the most high-level contracted network to preserve more community-like structure information.

“…PRiSMHA starts from the assumption that only a layer of semantically rich metadata can support an actual enhancement of the access to archival resources, an approach supported by several researchers in the area of Digital Humanities; see, for instance, (Motta et al, 2000). Exactly as a good human archivist, a smart digital one needs to "know" the content of the available documents in order to be able to retrieve all and only the relevant ones, independently of the words actually used to report them in the primary sources; a case study supporting this claim can be found in (Goy et al, 2019b). This implies that the system needs a detailed semantic knowledge of the domain, i.e.…”

Historical archives represent an immense wealth, the potential of which is endangered by the lack of effective management and access tools. We believe that this issue can be faced by providing archive catalogs with a semantic layer, containing rich semantic metadata, representing the content of documents in a full-fledged formal machine-readable format. In this paper we present the contribution offered in this direction by the PRiSMHA project, in which the conceptual vocabulary of the semantic layer is represented by computational ontologies. However, acquiring semantic knowledge represents a well-known bottleneck for knowledge-based systems: in order to solve this problem, PRiSMHA relies on a crowdsourcing collaborative model, i.e., an online community of users who collaborate in building semantic representations of the content of archival documents. In this perspective, this paper aims at answering the following research question: Starting from the axioms characterizing concepts in the computational ontology underlying the system, how can we derive a user interface enabling users to formally represent the content of archival documents by exploiting the conceptual vocabulary provided by the ontology? Our solution includes the following steps: (a) A manually defined configuration, acting as a pre-filter, to hide "unsuited" classes, properties, and relations; (b) An algorithm, combining heuristics and reasoning, which extracts from the ontology all and only the "compatible" properties and relations, given an entity (event) type. (c) A set of strategies to rank, group, and present the entity (event) properties and relations, based on the results of a study with users. This integrated solution enabled us to design an ontology-driven user interface enabling users to characterize entities, and in particular (historical) events, on the basis of the vocabulary provided by the ontology.

The present study, on the one hand, seeks to offer the validated design of the Digitization of Cultural Heritage, Identities and Education (DICHIE) instrument, applicable in focus-group contexts, to extract qualitative data on both the needs and the challenges relating to the digitization of the cultural heritage of Castile and Leon (Spain). On the other hand, it aims to facilitate the contribution of solutions within the field of education and cultural policy for the cultural heritage within this Autonomous Community. The research adheres to quantitative-descriptive methodological principles and, in particular, follows instrumental psychometric studies of reliability and content validity. The results of the instrument were optimal, both in terms of internal reliability and complete global and intra-group content validity, for its application to professional areas of heritage conservation and education and digital cultural management.
