Metadata Enrichment for Digital Heritage: Users as Co-Creators

“…As Gartner (2015) demonstrates the benefits of Web 2.0 proved its significance in projects such as galaxyZoo, Ancient Lives, Old Weather and LibraryThing. In the cultural digital heritage domain, a mixed metadata approach involving crowdsourcing (nichsourcing) is demonstrated by (de Boer et al, 2017). In the absence of a semantically structured, enriched and linked ontology, researchers in the digital humanities had to manually triangulate information from heterogeneous media collections to inform their research (de Boer et al, 2017).…”

To address these challenge, de Boer et al (2017) designed a Linked Data model with entities such as sem:Event, sem:Place, sem:Actor, sem:Time, oa:Annotation, dive:MediaObject and skos:Concept. As a result, a knowledge graph is created linking media objects, people and places with historical events which in turn lends itself for navigation and serendipitous browsing.…”

“…Secondly, through a crowdsourcing service, users (scholars) are allowed to add metadata and continuously enrich collections. "Based on extensive requirements analysis done with historians and media scholars, we present a methodology to publish, represent, enrich, and link heritage collections so that they can be explored by domain expert users" (de Boer et al, 2017).…”

Building Narrative Structures from Knowledge Graphs

“…In digital humanities for instance, users would first explore the collections by looking at entities and their collections, thus creating a narrative chain of events. [7]. Second, they can help in decision-making or hypotheses generation by extracting explanations, predicting events or completing a graph.…”
