The digital future of cultural heritage (21/01/2010)

Access to Enriched Cultural Heritage Information Using Semantic Web Technology

Leuven, 21 January 2010

Since May 2009, Erfgoedplus.be has offered public access to information about cultural heritage by means of Semantic Web technology. There are but few comparable applications on the Web so far. Therefore, we wish to share the experience of Erfgoedplus.be.

The seminar addresses a selection of technical issues and their applications. Thus, heritage managers are enabled to understand the benefits and requirements of the Semantic Web, in direct relation to their own situation.

Seminar topics and speakers

  • "The Semantics of Digital Heritage" by Marco de Niet
  • "The Semantic Web" by Paul Hermans
  • "Content Enrichment" by Jef Malliet
