Practicing Ontology Modelling for Preservation of Interactive Multimedia Performances

Abstract

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.

“…The use of ontology also enables the preservation of community knowledge, at the time preservation and migration of this knowledge to the context of designated communities so that the reconstruction of the preserved contents, e.g. by migration, emulation or reinterpretation, will be easier [11].…”
