The Models we inspire on

The guidelines and vocabulary inspire on a number of existing works:

► Dictionnaries/glossaries/guidelines

► Databases on bronze sculpture

► Other Databases related to cultural heritage

► Online catalogs & museum sites
 

 

Dictionnaries/glossaries/guidelines:

English

  • Thesaurus RA - Strumenti terminologici Scheda RA Reperti Archeologici

    The RA terminological tool, curated by ICCU and VAST-LAB, constitutes a reworked version of the RA Thesaurus issued by the ICCD. The RA Thesaurus provides all the necessary terminological facilities for an efficent and well structured recording of the object coming from archaeological excavations. The vocabulary has been implemented by ICCD to support the encoding of two specific fields (OGTD - CLS). These two fields describe the definition of the object and its class and production.

  • LexArt – Words for Art : The Rise of a Terminology (1600-1750). The project (2013-2018) focuses on the study of the artistic vocabulary as it develops in the seventeenth century and transforms in the first half of the eighteenth century among European theorists in France, Germany, Netherlands and England. The ambition of the project is to establish the conceptual tools necessary to stimulate new research on art theory in Europe, and to grasp artistic productions of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries by means of a synchronous and critical apparatus. The research will lead to a number of results: first, a digital and on-line tool that will bring together definitions of terms and concepts used by theorists of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and allow researchers to confront the different texts and meanings. Secondly, a series of articles and studies dealing with methodological and thematic issues will be published. Lastly, the research will result in a dictionary of artistic terminology structured in multilingual entries and organized synthetically.

  • IDAI.vocab: The new DAI Thesaurus of Archaeological Concepts was designed from the onset as a thesaurus of German words and phrases with significant multilingual support. The core of the thesaurus is a list of concepts related to the domain of archaeology (nouns, verbs, less frequently adjectives, but also complex phrases that point to a specific object, such as “carrarischer Marmor”) all linked to corresponding translations in a wide spectrum of different languages

  • Heritage Data: Linked Data Vocabularies for Cultural Heritage. National cultural heritage thesauri and vocabularies have acted as standards for use by both national organizations and local authority Historic Environment Records, but lacked the persistent Linked Open Data (LOD) URIs that would allow them to act as vocabulary hubs for the Web of Data. The AHRC funded SENESCHAL project made such vocabularies available online as Semantic Web resources with persistent URIs. Web services were developed by University of South Wales to make the vocabulary resources programmatically accessible and searchable

 

Databases on bronze sculpture:

  • GROSSBRONZENAMLIMES,Antique bronzes from Germany
  • Hephaistos: Grands bronzes antiques (in progress, Louvre & Centre de Recherche et de Restauration des musées de France)

 

Other Databases related to cultural heritage:

  • JocondeLab: The JocondeLab website results from an experiment conducted by the Ministry of Culture and Communication. Its aim is to show the advantages of the semantic web, aka 'Web 3.0' and how the interweaving of linked cultural data and multilingualism can enhance ergonomics and interactivity.
