Abstract
In this paper the authors address the problems of making existing distributed collection document repositories mutually interoperable at the semantic level. The authors argue that semantic web technologies offer a promising approach to facilitate homogeneous, semantic information retrieval based on heterogeneous document repositories on the web. From contents point of view, the distributed system is built as a collection of multimedia documents repository nodes glued together by an ontology server. A set of methodologies and tools for organizing the information space around the notion of contents community is developed, where each content provider will publish a set of ontologies to collect metadata information organized and published through the Contents Community Authority on top of an ontology server. These methodologies were deployed setting up a prototype to connect about 20 museums in the city of Naples (Italy).
