Scholarly Semantic Constructs
- 1. Cultural Heritage Scholarly Constructs Dominic Oldman Principal Investigator ResearchSpace www.researchspace.org British Museum
- 2. What is a scholarly construct? • An agreed pattern for describing a particular concept. For example, – How is object production defined? – What is a visual depiction? – What are the different acquisition / provenance scenarios? – How are object parts represented? • Independent of any particular data implementations. YCBA <> BM • Promotes data harmonisation and analysis across different organisations. Yale Centre British Art (CDWA) British Museum (SPECTRUM)
- 3. Schema Standards & Customisation Content: Jenn Riley Design: Devin Becker Work funded by the Indiana University Libraries White Professional Development Award Copyright 2009-2010 Jenn Riley
- 4. Vocabularies
- 5. Ontological Knowledge Representation • Ontologies describe concepts and relationships, but you need to get the right balance. – Too high level - squeeze the goodness out of museum data into artificial boxes (e.g. Dublin Core) – Specialisation prevent agreement on constructs. Parmenides – the nature of reality
- 7. General Aggregators too General The Institution The Aggregator o The further the data is from the originator the less assumptions can be made about it. o Default to a common set of fields. o Challenge for retaining knowledge is not to prescribe a common set of fields but to find a common set of generalisations within a domain to harmonise different datasets. o Using aggregator models as a primary publication models prevents the formation of meaningful scholarly constructs. The curator / researcher
- 8. • Real world ontology that matches the richness of museum records. • The only purpose built ontology that can adequately represent a British Museum record. • The only ontology that allows relevant and practical cross organisational constructs. • The only ontology that allows practical collaborative enrichment beyond the BM record.

- 9. E.g. Normalised Acquisition Constructs Construct 1 - Acquired From • Bequeathed by • Donated by • Exchanged with • From • Purchased from • Transferred from: • Unclaimed item: Construct 2 - Received Custody From • On loan from Construct 3 - Acquired Through (intermediary) • Purchased through • Bequeathed through • Donated through • Exchanged through Construct 4 - Acquisition Motivated By • In Honour of • In Memory of Construct 5 - Found By • Collected by • Excavated by
- 10. Acquired From Pattern true in any organisation
- 16. • Visualise different data sources against the CRM. • Use scholarly constructs as a knowledge base for ontology mapping. • Plug-in local vocabularies. • Manage the relationship and changes between data producers and multiple aggregators.

Notes de l'éditeur
- 1. As per slide. Pattern, independent – harmonise I would say construct because these are constructs that don’t just help scholarly analysis but also help engagement. Example – The British Museum and Yale University. They have original Constables and we have prints that are variations and which have different information recorded in different ways. A construct allows us to bring all the information together and use computer modelling techniques.
- We use to many data models and in any event customise them There is little point in even trying to attempt to create middleware to bring different databases together – it simple isn’t sustainable or maintainable.
- Not just the usual vocabularies like materials, techniques etc But attribution vocabularies that can be specialist for individual institutions
