Applications
Part of the MTSR 2013 - 7th International Conference on Metadata and
Semantic Research, 19-22 November 2013, Thessaloniki, Greece

AIM AND SCOPE
Cultural heritage collections are essential knowledge infrastructures that
provide a solid representation of the historical background of human
communities, the development of their linguistic idioms and artistic
expression, while they constitute important instruments for the social and
ethnic cohesion.
The aim of this Special Track is to document the state-of-the-art in
technologies and issues around cultural collections and back-end
infrastructures. The objective is to generate a forum in which researchers
and scientists that are working on relevant issues and applications to
come together, meet and exchange ideas about the main open issues, so that
more effective progress can be made in this area.

addressing issues in areas such as:
•Cultural heritage metadata models and standards

•Collection - level metadata modeling and management
•Ontologies and knowledge representation for the cultural heritage domain
•Linked open data approaches for the cultural heritage domain
•Composite content-discovery and management of components and
interrelationships
•Automated generation of metadata, especially for non-textual resources
•Large volume content management - high resolution image data sets
•3D models-indexing, storage and retrieval approaches
•Federation of repositories/data infrastructures
•Integration of heterogeneous resources
•Infrastructures for sharing content
•Digital Curation workflows and models
•Preservation metadata for cultural heritage digital objects
