“…One of the most mature initiatives is represented by CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM), a core ontology expressing upper-level concepts common across cultural heritage documentation (Crofts, Doerr, Gill, Stead, & Stiff, 2010). Developed within the museum community, CIDOC CRM has the broader goal of enabling a semantically enriched information exchange between museums, libraries, and archives (Gill, 2004).Although not a direct source of knowledge for the TBS ontology, CIDOC CRM was viewed as an appropriate overarching framework where a full-fledged TBS ontology could be linked and related to other germane domain-specific ontologies. The knowledge elicited during the user study in phase 1 was an integral part of the knowledge acquisition development phase.…”

The use of primary source materials is recognized as key to supporting history and social studies education. The extensive digitization of library, museum, and other cultural heritage collections represents an important teaching resource. Yet, searching and selecting digital primary sources appropriate for classroom use can be difficult and time-consuming. This study investigates the design requirements and the potential usefulness of a domain-specific ontology to facilitate access to, and use of, a collection of digital primary source materials developed by the Library of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. During a three-phase study, an ontology model was designed and evaluated with the involvement of social studies teachers. The findings revealed that the design of the ontology was appropriate to support the information needs of the teachers and was perceived as a potentially useful tool to enhance collection access. The primary contribution of this study is the introduction of an approach to ontology development that is user-centered and designed to facilitate access to digital cultural heritage materials. Such an approach should be considered on a case-by-case basis in relation to the size of the ontology being built, the nature of the knowledge domain, and the type of end users targeted.

“…In the context of the CASPAR project, we have adopted an ontology-driven approach [2][3][4] that reuses and extends existing standards, such as the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CIDOC-CRM) [5,6]. The present paper introduces an ontology layering architecture for the preservation of IMPs.…”

The need to address the fragility of the digital information collected in artistic activities is urgently emerging and increasing. This need is particularly heightened by new multimedia technologies that support the artistic community with many different forms of digital means. The present work concerns an ontology layering architecture for organizing and maintaining a semantic knowledge base for digital preservation of interactive multimedia performances. In addition, the use of certain ISO standardized ontologies is demonstrated in modelling the domain of interactive multimedia performances.

“…She notes that these logics must be challenged from poststructural and feminist perspectives, and that we must realize that 'the philosophical tradition of the west has delineated a concept of reason which is exclusive of women and other oppressed groups' (Plumwood, 1993: 436). Figure 4 is taken from the CIDOC-CRM, an object-oriented domain ontology designed to facilitate the 'interchange of rich and heterogeneous cultural heritage information from museums, libraries and archives' (Gill, 2004). The ontology in Figure 4 represents an epistemological position applied to a wide variety of cultural objects, originating from communities across the world.…”

Re-thinking the cultural codes of new media: The question concerning ontology

The digital world need not solely be conceived in Western, elite terms, but instead can and should be re-envisioned as a space that empowers the values, priorities, and ontologies held by global users from the 'margins', within the developing world. This paper asks us to re-consider the ontologies of the digital world in light of the cultural beliefs, languages, and value systems of emerging web users. I argue that as we design new media technologies and develop projects we must think about local ontologies and practices rather than singular Western-created representations of knowledge. I present several examples that think past rigid, hierarchical classifications, opening up the codes of new media to better listen to diverse community and cultural voices.
