Abstract:
In the recent years the East-Christian iconographical art works
have been digitized providing a large volume of data. The need for effective
classification, indexing and retrieval of iconography repositories was the motivation
of the design and development of a systemized ontological structure
for description of iconographical art objects. This paper presents the ontology
of the East-Christian iconographical art, developed to provide content
annotation in the Virtual encyclopedia of Bulgarian iconography multimedia
digital library. The ontology’s main classes, relations, facts, rules, and
problems appearing during the design and development are described. The
paper also presents an application of the ontology for learning analysis on
an iconography domain implemented during the SINUS project “Semantic
Technologies for Web Services and Technology Enhanced Learning”.
