Abstract

The Federation of Ecomuseums and Society Museums (FEMS), with the support of the French Ministry of Culture, has developed a semantic graph and a web portal to display the objects of the collections of its member institutions and to showcase them by pooling the publishing effort.

This project, named GraphEthno, also responds to the need for museums with the label “Musée de France” to publish their inventory. Each museum uses its own catalogue management system and must transform its notices into a common ontology (the LIDO-RDF format) before sending them to GraphEthno.

GraphEthno hosts objects from a wide variety of collections, both geographically and in the nature of the objects, but it makes it possible to create links between objects, actors and manufacturing methods through the repositories shared on these different subjects.

The presentation will focus on the application of the https://semgraph.logilab.fr methodology to the GraphEthno project and describe how the decentralized data sources are merged into a common graph then made browsable as a web portal, each step using open web standards and free software tools.

Q & A involved questions about who does conversion of museum data to LIDO (not them, they get help) and connection to library data (no direct connections, but tools and infrastructure could easily be used for other domains such as library data as well).

As stated in my “recording consent form”, no GAFAM publication for me. Please link to GraphEthno as a use case of the SemGraph methodology - Logilab's PeerTube and remove it from Youtube.

Sorry for this error. I adjusted the link and will make sure it gets removed from YouTube.
