International Workshop on Semantic Web and Ontology Design for
Cultural Heritage (SWODCH 2020)
@ Bolzano Summer of Knowledge (BOSK 2020), September 21-22, Bolzano, Italy
https://swodch2020.inf.unibz.it/
*WORKSHOP SCOPE AND AIM*
SWODCH 2020 is the association of the 2nd edition of WODHSA
(http://www.loa.istc.cnr.it/WODHSA/index.php/cfp/) and the 4th edition
of SW4CH (https://sw4ch2018.ensma.fr/). It is also in continuation
with the 1st edition of ODOCH
(http://odoch19.uniroma1.it/odoch19/odoch19) and the special issue of
the Semantic Web Journal on ?Semantic Web for Cultural Heritage?
(www.semantic-web-journal.net/blog/special-issue-semantic-web-cultural-heritage).
The purpose of WODHSA is to gather original research work about both
application and foundational issues emerging from the design of
conceptual models, ontologies, and Semantic Web technologies for the
Digital Humanities (DH). In fact, a plethora of heterogeneous and
multi-format data currently available in the Digital Humanities domain
asks for principled methodologies and technologies to semantically
characterize, integrate, and reason on data and data models for
analysis, visualization, retrieval, and other purposes. We are also
interested in studies about the philosophical and social analysis of
DH data and knowledge representation models. For instance, ontologies
for the DH often require to take into account the historical and
social dimensions of data. The research question is how to explicitly
represent these dimensions in a way that is transparent and accessible
to both humans and machines. We believe that making both modelers and
users aware of the modeling choices laying behind models and
applications, as well as studying the background theories of such
modeling choices, enhance the transparency and reliability of
computational resources, and therefore help users in better
understanding and trusting them.
The aim of SW4CH is to bring together stakeholders from various
scientific fields, Computer Scientists, Data Scientists and Digital
Humanists, involved in the development or deployment of Semantic Web
solutions for Cultural Heritage. Cultural Heritage data is typically
made available in diverse languages and formats. Knowledge
representation can play an important role in making such resources
mutually interoperable, so that it can be presented, linked and
searched in a harmonised way. Early solutions were based on the
syntactic/structural level of data, without leveraging the rich
semantic structures underlying the content. Nowadays, institutions
bring their data to the Semantic Web level, so the tasks of
integrating, sharing, analysing and visualising data are to be
conceived in this new and very rich framework.
The overall goal of SWODCH 2020 is to provide a scientific forum where
scholars and stakeholders will have the opportunity to exchange
ideas, experiences, and analyses, while presenting realisations and
outcomes of relevant projects and discussing the related challenges.

Workshop: September 21-22 (two days)
*LIST OF TOPICS*
We seek original and high quality submissions related (but not
limited) to one or more of the following topic areas:
- Conceptual analysis and ontology design for the Digital Humanities
Domain ontologies or conceptual models for history, history of arts,
book studies, theatre, literature, editorial practices, archeology,
musicology, cultural and natural heritage (including architectural
heritage), among others.
Methodological aspects of ontology development for the Digital
Humanities, including the need of modeling the social (contextual)
dimension of both data and ontologies.
Use of ontology design patterns.
Case studies based on and lessons learned from the use of CIDOC-CRM or
FRBR Logical and ontological analysis of CIDOC-CRM or FRBR, e.g., with
respect to foundational ontologies (DOLCE, UFO, BFO, etc.)
Application of formal ontology theories for knowledge representation or
data management in the Digital Humanities
Philosophical and sociological analysis of both digital models and
modeling practices in the Digital Humanities
Social studies on the policies towards the standardization of ontologies
in the Digital Humanities

Cultural Heritage
Semantic Web content creation, annotation, and extraction
Ontology mapping, merging, and alignment
Virtual Cultural Heritage collections
Peer-to-peer Cultural Heritage architectures
E-infrastructures for Cultural Heritage
