Abstract

Innovative application and use of a knowledge-based system may support an HB expert to aggregate data into meaningful information that support any of the HB lifecycle activities: initial analysis from experts, documentation, preventive conservation, restoration, reconstruction, economic aspects of HB, its use and management.

This paper first investigates ontology-based knowledge based systems for HB. Secondly, the need for comprehensive ontology-based data collection for HB suitable for trans-disciplinary domain experts and stakeholders is highlighted based on real HB use case requirements. Finally, conceptual knowledge-based framework in development that includes both an ontology for a HB domain and a knowledge base is briefly presented. It is expected that the presented framework could enable proactive reduction of time for searching solutions for HB, reduction of risks involved, reduction of unplanned events related to costs, time, materials and human resources.
