Cultural Heritage Knowledge Exchange Platform

Project description


Intelligent Content and Semantics

Full benefit of the multi-source digitalised cultural information


SMARTMUSEUM will establish a platform for enhanced experience resulting from interaction between visitors and cultural heritage objects. The platform incorporates secure adaptive profiling, on-site local distributed knowledge and global digital cultural information access. Developments will also include semantic web services for cultural heritage related knowledge search and the software for delivering the cultural heritage knowledge exchange. The future smart museum IT infrastructure and services will increase the interaction between multilingual European citizens and cultural heritage objects

The general objective of the SMARTMUSEUM project is to develop a platform for innovative IT services enhancing on-site personalised access to digital content of cultural heritage through adaptive and privacy preserving user profiling. Using on-site distributed knowledge databases, global digital libraries, and visitors' experiential knowledge the platform makes possible creation of innovative multilingual IT services for increasing interaction between visitors and cultural heritage objects in future smart museum environment, and taking full benefit of the digitalized cultural information.

SMARTMUSEUM project supports achievement of following general goals:
* Lowering costs of on-site access to digital cultural heritage content
* Improving structured, user behaviour and preference dependent on-site access to cultural heritage
* Improving the meaning, individual and shared experiences people receive from cultural and scientific resources
* Bringing personalized cultural experience closer to non-expert community
* Making real reuse of personal experiences related with cultural heritage access for variety of interest groups

In order for developing SMARTMUSEUM platform following sub-goals are set:
* Developing cultural heritage (CH) related metadata extensions to represent user preferences
* Creating internal standard for representing user cultural interest preferences in a form of formal profile.
* Creating privacy preserving adaptive user profile management for PDAs and web services
* Creating of services (dedicated search engine) capable of digital content mining and indexing for variety of user profiles.
*Creating easy search solutions for local and global reuse of cultural heritage related knowledge (such as information and experiences)
* Creating of ontology based global web services (dedicated search engine) capable of digital content data mining and indexing for variety of user profiles.

Test-bed for the platform are two museums.
