Abstract

Ontologies are valuable tools for structuring and organizing knowledge, improving communication and data integration, enhancing information retrieval and search, and supporting various applications in different fields. They play a crucial role in promoting shared understanding and knowledge management in complex and information-rich domains. An examination of the initiatives conducted over the past decade in the field of cultural heritage has clearly highlighted the lack of an established framework in the conceptual modeling of information resources, despite the numerous ontologies created as a function of the many projects for the publication of linked open data. As a result, it is far from easy to know exhaustively all the ontologies available in relation to one’s field of interest and to obtain in an easy and systematic way a reliable assessment about their representative capacity and their degree of semantic interoperability.
