Reference Network Architecture - demonstrators
The organization of the RNA-project is based on the linking of a number of related real life cases from cultural heritage and knowledge institutions concerning retrieval of web content with promising solutions which are not yet applied to the problem area represented by the cases.
The cases represent a broad spectrum of urgent questions on findability for which knowledge institutions have to find answers if they want to be able to use the internet to get to their clients.
The demonstrators presented in this chapter are the result of this merger of cases and RNA-products. The list is not yet complete, many parts of the project are still in the workshops and not ready yet for presentation.
Facet navigation
Several demos show the use of facet determination.
Heterogenuous collections
The four cultural heritage organisations wish to share their knowledge among other things through each other's websites. In this way the searchability of their own collection/knowledge is increased and access is provided to the (complementary) expertise of others.
Large SKOS structures
The complete taxonomic tree (concepts and structure) of the Dutch Species register with all the extra data is set up as a RDF/SKOS structure.
Lemma networks
What we have done in this site is to establish links between the keywords in lemma's and the lemma's which describe them. The result is a network of keywords, a lemma network.
Structure mining
The museum intends to share its knowledge through the existing reference material. Together with relevant parts from WordNet, and with use of advanced structure mining techniques, these structures are put together in a coherent reference network (in progress).
Linking data to maps
This is a simple demonstrator showing the linkage of records with coordinate data to a map.
