“…Despite this important collection, this small museum has very low numbers of physical visitors and is not popular with locals and tourists. The museum participated as a pilot case in the EU Horizon 2020 CrossCult project which aimed at facilitating interconnections between different pieces of cultural heritage information, public viewpoints and physical venues by taking advantage of the advances of digital technologies, particularly focused on the aspects of interactivity, recollection and reflection (Lykourentzou et al 2016). The pilot case offered non-typical, crosscutting and transversal viewings of the museum items, in order to allow the visitors to go beyond the typical level of history presentation (e.g., type of a statue or its construction date), into deeper levels of reflection, over social aspects of life in antiquity and its power structures.…”

“…The manual extraction task focused on identifying entities of interest that would support information retrieval, cross-searching and discovery across the collections participating in the CrossCult infrastructure (Lykourentzou et al 2016). It included mentions of exhibit type, related material, temporal, spatial information, dimensions and other features such as inscriptions or visual representations.…”

Information and Knowledge Organisation explores the role of knowledge organisation in the digital humanities. By focussing on how information is described, represented and organised in both research and practice, this work furthers the transdisciplinary nature of digital humanities.Including contributions from Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and the Middle East, the volume explores the potential uses of, and challenges involved in, applying the organisation of information and knowledge in the various areas of Digital Humanities. With a particular focus on the digital worlds of cultural heritage collections, the book also includes chapters that focus on machine learning, knowledge graphs, text analysis, text annotations and network analysis. Other topics covered include: semantic technologies, conceptual schemas and data augmentation, digital scholarly editing, metadata creation, browsing, visualisation and relevance ranking. Most importantly, perhaps, the book provides a starting point for discussions about the impact of information and knowledge organisation and related tools on the methodologies used in the Digital Humanities field.Information and Knowledge Organisation is intended for use by researchers, students and professionals interested in the role information and knowledge organisation plays in the Digital Humanities. It will be essential reading for those working in library and information science, computer science and across the humanities.Koraljka Golub is a Professor in Information Studies at Linnaeus University in Sweden. Her research focusses on knowledge organisation of digital document collections, especially on subject access.
