Research on the Semantic Architecture of Cultural Heritage Images Based on CIDOC CRM

Abstract

An image is a visual medium that describes information about objects. The amount of data n in cultural heritage images is constantly amplified in the process of historical development and circulation. It has been significant challenges. The research is based on the international standard ontology reference model CIDOC CRM in the field of cultural heritage. It designs Semantic ontologies and specifications from the perspective of describing, correspondence paths and semantic architecture. The aim is to integrate and correlate the information of cultural heritage images with semantic information. And facilitate the integration and exchange of image information for traditional humanities and social science research. 1 Semantic Web and CIDOC CRM Massive digital information resources meet the needs of the public but gradually show the deficiencies in information representation and utilization. Tim Berners-Lee proposed the Semantic Web (Semantic Web) in 2000. As an extension of the current network, the entire Internet has become an information exchange medium, through basic element semantic links. In actual research, even the same image symbol has different semantics in different time. Only the integration of interdisciplinary research information to achieve the semantics that computers can understand and accelerate the sharing of knowledge and information. The ontology is an important technology to achieve semantic information retrieval. It describes the norms of concepts and the relationships between concepts. CIDOC CRM(CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model) is an object-oriented conceptual reference model developed by International Committee for Documentation. CIDOC CRM has become the international standard in the field of cultural heritage research in 2006, and it is the ontology of the domain of cultural heritage. It provides the semantic definitions and clarifications for the standard specification and description architecture of cultural heritage information, as an important information and reference model of the Semantic Web. Since 2006 it is official standard ISO 21127:2006. Current version is 6.26(June 2019, Published Version), including 98 entities, 168 Properties. It aims at providing the semantic definitions and clarifications needed to transform disparate, and localised information sources into a coherent global resource, be it within a larger institution, in intranets or on the Internet. [1] CIDOC CRM is widely recognized and applied internationally. For example, the "Digital Storage of Folk Music and Dance Culture" project funded by the Slovenian State in 2007, integrated the conceptual design of the CIDOC CRM model and FRBR model to
