“…It is here that ontological modelling can help us. This modelling technique has gained importance in the field of computer science over the last several decades (for instance playing an important role in the semantic web ) and is already occasionally applied in studies of art history and heritage (Moraitou and Kavakli, 2018; Szabo, 2012; Tibaut et al, 2018). It is described by Thomas Gruber (1993: 1) as a representation of “the objects, concepts, and other entities that are presumed to exist in some area of interest and the relationships that hold among them.” In other words, the ontology makes explicit a network of relationships of various kinds, between entities in a domain or system, be it a business structure, an online encyclopedia, or a field of academic knowledge.…”

Although the art historical canon has been the subject of fierce debate, it remains an essential construct, shaping textbooks and survey courses. Visual representations of the canon often illustrate these narratives. Students encounter diagrams in their studies and it is important to make them aware of the illusion of scientific objectivity. This paper proposes the use of the computer ontology, as a modeling tool with which students can make translations of existing diagrams. This forces them to reconsider the modeling decisions underlying traditional representations. The article takes as its case study the translation of Alfred Barr’s diagram of Modern Art, using the free tool Protégé. An analysis of this process allows us to consider the ambiguous meanings of nodes, relationships and dimensions of the model. Asking students to actively recreate this network of information is shown to be a valuable addition to traditional survey courses on Modern Art.

“…In the context of COST-TD1406, an ontology for the Heritage Building (HB) domain, namely the HB Core Ontology (HBCO), has been developed [105,106]. The ontology aims to support HB experts to efficiently collect and use data, produced by the different specialists of the domain in the context of the various HB lifecycle activities (including analysis, documentation, preventive conservation, restoration, economic aspects of HB, use and management).…”

Over the last decade, the Cultural Heritage (CH) domain has gradually adopted Semantic Web (SW) technologies for organizing information and for tackling interoperability issues. Several semantic models have been proposed which accommodate essential aspects of information management: retrieval, integration, reuse and sharing. In this context, the CH subdomain of Conservation and Restoration (CnR) exhibits an increasing interest in SW technologies, in an attempt to effectively handle the highly heterogeneous and often secluded CnR information. This paper investigates semantic models relevant to the CnR knowledge domain. The scope, development methodology and coverage of CnR aspects are described and discussed. Furthermore, the evaluation, deployment and current exploitation of each model are examined, with focus on the types and variety of services provided to support the CnR professional. Through this study, the following research questions are investigated: To what extent the various aspects of CnR are covered by existing CnR models? To what extent existing CnR models incorporate models of the broader CH domain and of relevant disciplines (e.g., Chemistry)? In what ways and to what extent services built upon the reviewed models facilitate CnR professionals in their various tasks? Finally, based on the findings, fields of interest that merit further investigation are suggested.

“…In our past work [18][19][20][21][22][23], a few ontologies and protocols have been done, which are for now in the base level of abstraction with some historical properties for example, thickness of main wall, building material, number of floors, construction year, etc. Ontologies are made with Protégé software.…”

The existing building (EB) as a system and part of the whole system is causing expansion knowledge, which we need if valuate heritage building (HB) or building in the city center (CCB). In many reasons, HB should not be the subject of capital, and therefore not dependent on supply and demand. Valuation of HB or CCB needs attention to the understanding of the difference between buildings even if they stand in the same street or part of the city. This involves so many things, for example, intangible heritage, position on the street, sun expose, traffic, metro, bus station, school, park, etc. We need enough knowledge and mechanism for support to get it. How to get enough knowledge for valuation HB or CCB? Background of real estate value of cultural HB or CCB arises from the system, which needs many elements. Firstly, understanding the building as a system with materials, installations, details, and intangible cultural heritage has an impact on details in buildings. Secondly, HB or CCB is important to understand our history, and they are like books that content history knowledge of engineering and arts. Thirdly, property value does not always arise from buildings. Value involves traffic, sun-exposed, the distance from social buildings (hospital, bus station, railway station) or parks, noise, air pollution, etc. HB or CCB is part of the higher/bigger system. This type of real estate presents many reasons for introducing interdisciplinarity and is part of a complete global system. Interdisciplinarity requires knowledge and new approaches to help in the acquisition of knowledge. The goal of these approaches is how in a simpler and faster way to gain knowledge about the object, HB and CCB, and the wider system. Information technology allows collecting a wider range of information faster and better than in the past. At the same time, the same information changes into the necessary knowledge, but the question is if we have enough mass of data and what kind of data we need. The paper shows the theoretical background for the valuation of HB and CCB system.
