Abstract

Advancement of digital technologies have helped the cultural heritage (CH) organizations such as archives, libraries, and museums to digitize their data collections and improve the accessibility to them. Over the past years various approaches have been developed to enable the visualization of the CH data. In this paper, we present a use case on annotation, linking, visualization and browsing of CH data and suggest some directions to achieve tangible visual analysis. We introduce the semantic linked data search and the method of connected concepts to enhance the users experience when searching for historical data.
