Abstract

Communities addressing the problem of a shareable description of cultural heritage objects agree that a data-centric and context oriented approach should be reached in order to exchange and reuse heterogenous information. Here we present HiCO, an OWL 2 DL ontology aiming to outline relevant issues related to the workflow for stating, and formalizing, authoritative assertions about context information. The conceptual model outlines requirements for defining an authoritative statement and focuses on how a description of context information can be carried out when data are extracted from full-text of documents.
