Abstract:
World is a collection of objects of cultural and natural heritage resources. Every human activity happens somewhere and sometimes. Each application projected in the Cultural Heritage sector takes a different view of the time period of the Cultural Heritage resource. In other words, projects belonging to the same time period but different geographical locations could be correlated with each other. However, users from all over the world are still faced with the perennial problem of finding those resources that will be most relevant to any particular research project. Cultural Heritage documentation is definitely going digital, but this trend may not be able to solve the problems arising when it is desired to perform e-heritage solutions in order to share Cultural Heritage knowledge. On the other hand, Cultural Heritage is a promising application domain for semantic web technologies due to the semantic richness and heterogeneity of cultural content. In this study, a coherent and standardized architectural framework -‘GeoGCHEAF- has been designed as a “Semantic Geospatial Information System (GIS) Services” and proposed to the Cultural Heritage domain.
