Abstract

The innovations promoted by the knowledge society highlight the central role that the e-culture has to play as a privileged means for disseminating cultural heritage. This paper addresses the issues of knowledge representation, management, distribution and sharing in the field of the Cultural Heritage (CH) valorization and dissemination. The proposed approach is based on the definition of relationships between the information cultural domain fitting the conceptual model of the cultural experts (represented by an appropriate knowledge base) and an information domain understandable by the machine (modeled by a domain ontology). The final system's infrastructure filters the richness of the data-sources to comply the users' needs tailoring the information according to their contexts of use. In this way the user can properly navigate through the heritage and create their own personalized thematic tour through a large number of information trails.
