Project
The project completed for the course involved four distinct parts, each of which contributed to my knowledge of how ontologies facilitate knowledge discoverability using linked open data.
The four parts of the project were:
- Use a Jewelry and Beads ontolgy created for the Art History of Jewelry and Beads Collection to annotate four resources from the Battersea Arts Cenre Digital Archive. The results were collected into a table.
- A reflection piece on step 1 addressing the following questions:
- How did you select the keywords and their priority? What would you have changed about your method?
- Do you think the detailed information of the items were adequate for classification? Why? If you had the choice, what information would you have liked to see?
- How did you decide which controlled vocabulary terms were matches?
- How did you decide on the amount of terms assigned for classification? How many is too many? How many is too little?
- Would you create new taxonomy terms for each missing keyword? Please detail your rationale?
- How do you think your tags would help a user find this item? Do you see any difficulties or improvements in your tagging method that would help the user?
- A four-part exercise involving:
- Adding at least 5 new terms to the ontology based on the gaps in its coverage of the Battersea collection.
- Linking at least 5 new terms from the Getty Art & Architecture Thesaurus (AAT) using URIs.
- Making at least 5 triples, in part using a newly added object property.
- Writing a reflection on the process.
- Submission of the Functional OWL Syntax ofn file.
