Cultural Heritage on the Web: Access and Exchange of Information

7th- 8th December 2010

Cultural heritage of the same or similar kind has for a long time been 
accumulated and preserved by various institutions, such as libraries, 
museums, and archives, though different methods for documenting and 
describing the collected items have been used. This presents 
difficulties for complex research as well as makes effective and 
user-friendly access to information on cultural heritage problematic.

The development of web technologies and initiatives aimed at complex 
dissemination of knowledge about culture stored in digital format, such 
as Europeana or European Library, makes it imperative that the need to 
harmonize metadata standards and the language of description used to 
refer to cultural heritage be fulfilled. It is generally expected that 
with the use of web-based systems the introduction, exchange and 
publication of data will promote synergy by integrating the endeavors of 
the various institutions. At the same time, such systems will make 
access to information easier for various groups of users: people 
professionally interested in specific aspects of culture but also for a 
wider audience, i.e., people will use the results of research in 
cultural heritage in education, recreation or tourism.

In the context of the above, the organizers of the conference invite you 
to discuss the devising of methodological assumptions, metadata 
standards, language tools, and technological solutions as well as to 
consider the possibilities of designing new cooperative initiatives to 
make the information on the cultural heritage collected by the afore 
mentioned institutions more easily accessible. The scope of the 
conference shall also include more general issues of Semantic Web, which 
would allow the consideration of the problems in question in a wider 
context of web phenomena.

Conference scope and themes:

. Harmonization of terminology used with reference to cultural heritage 
by specialists representing various humanities

. The issue of data exchange in the context of metadata formats applied 
to describe cultural heritage in various institutions (Marc 21, Dublin 
Core, Object ID, CDWA, Conceptual Reference Model ICOM) as opposed to 
traditional methods of describing cultural heritage (bibliographical 
records, the instruction of inventorying and cataloguing inscriptions, 
catalogue description of works of art)

. Classifications, subject headings, thesauruses -- possibilities and 
limitations

. Domain ontologies in humanities

. The description and cataloguing of cultural heritage items in the 
context of development and evolution of web-based tools, computer 
library catalogues, digital libraries, specialist databases

. The problems of creating, administrating, and searching the scattered 
resources concerning cultural heritage (including material and 
non-material items)

. Traditional and modern standards of documenting cultural heritage in 
the context of Semantic Web evolution

. Data exchange -- factual, technical and legal aspects

. The experience of those who ultimately receive the information and the 
possibilities of involving them in creating knowledge resources about 
culture (information addressees, search strategies based on the analysis 
of users' behaviour, users' involvement in describing the resources -- 
possibilities and limitations)

Conference languages: Polish, English, German
