A Graded Model of Semantic Commitment for Curated Cultural Heritage Data Integration

Year: 2026

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This paper presents a semantic hypermedia framework for documenting and interpreting cultural heritage artifacts, with particular attention to decontextualized and refunctionalized architectural components, through curated integration of heterogeneous sources. Built on Linked Open Data principles, it addresses two key challenges: mediating semantic complexity for domain experts, and ensuring data quality when integrating external resources. Knowledge patterns map CIDOC-CRM to a project-specific model aligned with scholarly practice, while external datasets—such as the Getty vocabularies, OpenStreetMap, Zotero, and Iconclass—are incorporated through a graded model of semantic commitment, distinguishing authority alignment, partial reuse, and full ontology adoption.
