Outline
• Background– TELDAP(Taiwan E-Learning and Digital Archives
Program, 2008-2012, prior project: NDAP)– Heterogeneous metadata description and integration
• Proposed Approach• Use Case• Evaluation• Discussion• Conclusion
BACKGROUND
4
An island with multi-culture and a myriad of creatures Land: 36K km2
Population: 23M A melting pot of multiple cultures, including: - Chinese (Holoh, Hakka…) - 20+ indigenous tribes - Immigrants from Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand…Home to more than 46,000 species of flora and fauna
• An interoperability issue• Diversity– Various communities, including archives, libraries,
museums and herbariums.– Various metadata formats and their records, such as
CDWA, EAD, DC(Dublin Core), MARC, and so on.
• Current approach– DC-based mapping or crosswalk– Semantic relations embedded in metadata elements are
ignored and lost during mapping.
Proposed Approach
• Inter lingua: FRBRoo• Path-based mapping between metadata elements and FRBRoo
(Kondylakis et al., 2006)– Semantic crosswalk– Semantic relations– Core classes and properties
• Tools: TopBraid
• Use Case– The collections of Hwa Kang Museum (HKM) of Chinese Cultural
University.– The collections of Chinese Antiquities at the National Palace Museum
(NPM)
• Question Answering (QA) based Evaluation
FRBROO
FRBR
• FRBR: Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records.
• FRBR is a conceptual model for bibliographic records for literary and artistic works released by IFLA(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions) in 1998.
• FRBR can be also regarded as an ontology for bibliographic universe for libraries.
CIDOC CRM
• A Conceptual Reference Model for museums released by International Committee for Documentation of the ICOM(International Council of Museums) in 1999.
• In 2006 CIDOC CRM was completed with its acceptance as the ISO 21127 standard.

• One-to-one principle– A shared classes and properties of FRBRoo– Semantic relationships and queries
• Ontology-based alignment of heterogeneous metadata integration for museum’s objects and library’s literary works– Keep two different documentation approaches intact
and parallel– Align rather than to change one approach and its
metadata to fit the other
Conclusion
• FRBRoo: an inter lingua (i.e., a shared ontology)
• Explicit semantic relationships embedded in metadata elements
• Transform human-understandable metadata into machine- readable and understandable representation with RDF’s expression
