BauDenkMalNetz - Creating a Semantically Annotated Web Resource of Historical Buildings.
Anca Dumitrache, Christoph Lange · 2011
BauDenkMalNetz (“listed buildings web”) deals with creating a semantically annotated website of urban historical landmarks. The annotations cover the most relevant information about the landmarks (e.g. the buildings’ architects, architectural style or construction details), for the purpose of extended accessibility and smart querying. BauDenkMalNetz is based on a series of touristic books on architectural landscape. After a thorough analysis on the requirements that our website should provide, we processed these books using automated tools for text mining, which led to an ontology that allows for expressing all relevant architectural and historical information. In preparation of publishing the books on a website powered by this ontology, we analyze how well Semantic MediaWiki and the RDF-aware Drupal 7 content management system satisfy our requirements.
