Abstract:ABSTRACT:Spatio-temporal relations among movement events extracted from temporally varying trajectory data can provide useful information about the evolution of individual or collective movers, as well as their interactions with their spatial and temporal contexts. However, the pure statistical tools commonly used by analysts pose many difficulties, due to the large number of attributes embedded in multiscale and multi-semantic trajectory data. The need for models that operate at multiple scales to search for … Show more
“…Its content is based on the analysis presented in this paper on visualising cultural heritage data and formalising the visualisation of knowledge graph content information. In addition, this study is supported by a review of state-of-the-art data visualisation [23][24][25][26]. This model is based on the following two concepts:…”
Over the last decade, several projects have been developed to digitise and semanticise cultural heritage data. They have been developed to preserve and maintain this heritage, but also to make it accessible to all types of users and to other sectors such as tourism and education. These developments combine the use of knowledge graphs and interactive visualisation tools with web technologies. Although remarkably interesting projects have been developed, the data visualisation tools in these projects tend to focus on the project context. Consequently, it is difficult to reuse the results of these projects. In addition, there are characteristics of cultural heritage information, such as uncertainty and spatial and temporal granularity, that have not been considered, and how to deal with them has not been described. The same is true for other aspects, such as the relationships between different objects. Considering these problems, this study presents a model that formalises how to visualise this information. The design of an ontology that implements this model, based on other works such as VUMO or VISO, is described. Furthermore, the design and development of a software framework that allows the visualisation of this information through a web application are presented. The evaluation of the application of this framework in projects such as SILKNOW or Arxiu Valencià del Disseny is outlined.

Visualizing data allows us to interactively explore and analyse datasets, which can be dynamic, noisy, and heterogeneous. In the field of cultural heritage, more and more museums and cultural institutions are exploiting modern visualisation systems to disseminate their content in an attractive, usable, and interactive way, which involves displaying data on spatiotemporal maps. The SeMap project has built an online resource that displays more than 200,000 cultural objects from the CER.ES repository, which was created by a network of more than 100 Spanish museums. In this repository, SeMap analyses the textual data to extract meaning, showing the results on interactive spatiotemporal maps, which bring new experiences and perspectives around such objects. This article explains the strategies to visualize such information, as well as an evaluation of the finalized tool by second-year university students on a Data Science graduate programme, as part of the subject of Data Visualization. Results show that most of the students find the tool usable although they do not fully understand the cultural-related content.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
