| Abstract |
Within the ECHO (European Cultural Heritage Online) project an integrated domain of metadata repositories was created covering data from 5 different humanities disciplines. The integration required intensive work on encoding, syntactical and especially the semantic level, since interoperability is still difficult to be achieved. An ontology was created and a search engine that makes use of the knowledge components. This work within ECHO is seen as one of the practical contributions on the way towards the Semantic Web. |
