SCULPTEUR is an EU/IST funded collaborative research project concerned with the application of knowledge and semantic web technologies to the problem of multimedia information management in the cultural heritage domain. An important aspect of the project is the development of a semantic layer centred on an ontological representation of the domain which facilitates novel concept based retrieval, browsing and navigation as well as more traditional content and metadata based modes. Implications of extending the media collection to include 3-D models is also being addressed. The paper presents a brief progress report on the project.
