Abstract

Existing general-purpose and domain-specific resources of the Semantic Web provide the foundations to discover connections between any two concepts of interest. The EU project CROSSCULT seeks to exploit that possibility in order to spur a change in the way citizens appraise history and culture, by means of web and mobile apps that will let them explore cross-border interconnections among cultural venues and their collections of heritage items. In this paper, we present a tool for experts to collaboratively develop the networks of semantic associations that will drive the gameplay or the storytelling of the apps. This tool includes reasoning aids to discover associations, to identify the most relevant ones in relation to selected topics, and to develop quiz tests involving the chosen entities (heritage items, characters, events or locations).
