D2.2.1 Semantic Web Encoding MultiMatch Knowledge Representation and Interoperability with Cultural Heritage Domain Standards

This deliverable identifies the dimensions of the content the cultural heritage institutes have provided to test MultiMatch prototype 1. Three main outcomes are reported. The common interoperability schema in combination with the user requirements resulted in a MultiMatch data model and functional metadata model which are at the same time a refinement and an extended version of Dublin Core (DCMI Metadata Terms). A second result of this task is the definition of the semantic web encoding (including common metadata schemas and ontology mapping providing common understanding on the file formats to be made accessible by the current and future Cultural Heritage institutes). A third result is the mapping of the MultiMatch metadata schema to Dublin Core Metadata Element Set (deflating the schema for exchange purposes) and to the reference model CIDOC-CRM (which is believed t
