Description
Commercial Semantic Web of Museums
Museums at fixed geographic locations use fixed database
schemas to catalog and present cultural materials. These materials
are separated from the commercial and open source material available
on the web and via sources such as commercial DVDs. These cultural
sources have different data structures, schemas and commercial
imperatives. It is proposed to use the Semantic Web to integrate
museum collection metadata with web based and commercial information
on cultural heritage records. This will use a XML vocabulary and
build on the Semantic Web for museum prototype system developed by
Yan Wang at second semester 2006. The standard schema will be used to
integrate data from two museums with web based records and products
in an online store (such as Amazon.com) and auction service (eBay).
Previous work:
Here are a couple of alternatives:
ACS PUBLISHING SYSTEM
Rehost the ACS's Conferences in Research and Practice in Information
Technology
http://crpit.com/, using EPrints software
http://www.eprints.org/software/. The index is to be harvested by
the National Library's Arrow system
http://www.arrow.edu.au/, as
per "Building an Institutional Research Repository from the Ground
Up: The ARROW Architecture Experience":
http://ausweb.scu.edu.au/aw04/papers/refereed/treloar/paper.html#mozTocId866618 .
The details of all existing papers must be converted using XML tools
and the like.
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Build an open source prototype using the "Emergency Data Exchange
Language" (EDXL)
http://docs.oasis-open.org/emergency/EDXL-DE/V1.0
to exchange messages like those from the West Coast & Alaska Tsunami
Warning Center
http://wcatwc.arh.noaa.gov/info/tsunamirssabout.html. This would be
used by non-government agencies and small developing nations in
conjunction with the Sahana Disaster Management System
