BKOntoVR: A Virtual Reality Exhibition System for Biographic Ontology-Based Semantic Structure

ABSTRACT

In this article, we illustrate some of the semantic web-related technologies and design a virtual exhibition system for a set of ontology knowledge structures based on biographical history, which we call BKOntoVR. This is an official framework for processing and presenting biographical history-related messages on the semantic web with virtual-reality technology, including biographical events, time and space relationships, related personal messages, and more. We elaborate on this ontology knowledge architecture and explain how to use our ontological structure called BKOnto as a basis for domain-specific knowledge to support virtual presentation. Information management is becoming an important part of cultural collections related technologies, from the management of personal collections to the establishment of large, decentralized "semantic" databases. These semantic databases can be used to a certain extent using semantic web technology to process and construct a machine-understandable data network. Such a data network can be linked to the referenced knowledge structure to give a concept and a relationship form specification associated with a set of descriptive objects in the definition domain (person, thing, place, etc.) - that is, link to its meaning. Biographical history of the specific characters is through the life and other areas of a systematic description of the introduction of a text that form. In this paper, we overview some of the Semantic Web-related technologies and describe a cognitive knowledge structure for biographical knowledge representation based on OWL markup language, we call it BKOnto. This is a formal framework for dealing with information about biographical history on the semantic web, including biographical events, temporal and spatial relationships, related information of persons, and so on. We describe this ontology knowledge structure and explain how BKOnto can act as a basis for more domain-specific knowledge representation. In this study, we further present such cultural collections in a virtual reality form, by transforming the ontology cognitive architecture data into a virtual reality exhibition space, allowing users to present the semantic structure in the form of multimedia in a three-dimensional space more easily. Such a form of presentation can be used in the virtual exhibition of the museum, making it easier for museums to organize cultural collections of semantic structures and exert their influence through the Internet. The empirical study also uses the Mackay Digital Archives Project (http://dlm.csie.au.edu.tw/) as a source of information to demonstrate the ontology knowledge building process of Mackay's biographical stories, as well as related Digital collection of information.
