The cultural heritage sector has traditionally been concerned with sharing resources and furthering human knowledge, with particular interest to the issues associated with metadata and interoperability, especially when it comes to the use of technology. These goals and interests in the cultural heritage sector are natural alignments with those of linked data; hence. there has been an increasing interest in the application of linked data in this sector. This article studies the implementation of linked data in the cultural heritage sector, through a systematic literature review of case studies of linked data implementation projects in this sector. The results reflect on the parties involved, the level of collaboration, and the motivation behind these projects. The study suggests that universities and national institutions were the main players in implementing such technologies in the cultural heritage sector, suggesting that there may be some barriers preventing smaller GLAM institutions from implementing linked data projects. The results further suggest that many linked data projects in this sector were primarily exploratory projects, and often performed in a collaborative manner. They further indicate that the most common motivating factors behind these projects were research needs, a desire to contribute to linked data as a movement, and other specific user needs. Reflecting on this systematic literature review, this article makes a set of recommendations for future work to increase the use of linked data in the cultural heritage sector and to remove barriers to adoption.

This paper explores the possible role of named entities extracted from text in subtitles in automatic indexing of TV-programs. This is done by analyzing entity types, name density and name frequencies in subtitles and metadata records from different genres of TV programs. The name density in metadata records is much higher than the name density in subtitles, and named entities with high frequencies in the subtitles are more likely to be mentioned in the metadata records. Further analysis of the metadata records indicate an increase in use of named entities in metadata in accordance with the frequency the entities have in the subtitles. The most substantial difference was between a frequency of one or two, where the named entities with a frequency of two in the subtitles where twice as likely to be present in the metadata records. Personal names, geographical names and names of organizations were the most prominent entity types in both the news subtitles and news metadata, while persons, creative works and locations are the most prominent in culture programs. It is not possible to extract all the named entities in the manually created metadata records by applying named entity recognition to the subtitles for the same programs, but it is possible to find a large subset of named entities for some categories in certain genres. The results reported in this paper show that subtitles are a good source for personal names for all the genres covered in our study, and for creative works in literature programs. In total, it was possible to find 38% of the named entities in metadata records for news programs, 32% for literature programs, while 21% of the named entities in metadata records for talk shows were also present in the subtitles for the programs.

“…As described in [1], we have developed our own annotation tool, which we, in the long run, would like to adapt to a wider context and make hospitable to crowd sourcing. Successful crowdsourcing demands that the tool has as few usability issues as possible, which is the main objective of this endeavour.…”

Abstract. This paper presents the result of a usability test of an annotation tool. The annotation tool is implemented, used and tested in a cultural heritage context (CH), the TORCH project at the Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Science. The experiments employed non-experts with the intention of facilitating for crowd-sourcing of annotations. Interesting problems and usability patterns from the literature manifest in our experiments. Despite some weaknesses in the interface of the tool version used for the experiments, the annotators show a reasonable rate of success.
