Our shared cultural heritage (CH) is an essential part of our European identity, transcending cultural and language barriers.The MultiMATCH project will enable users to explore and interact with online CH content, across media types and language boundaries, in ways that do justice to the multitude of existing perspectives.
The MultiMATCH search engine will:
crawl the Internet to identify websites
with CH information, locating relevant texts, images and videos, regardless
of the source and target languages used to write queries and describe
the results;
automatically classify the results in a semantic-web
compliant fashion, based on document content, its metadata, its context,
and on the occurrence of relevant CH concepts in the document;
automatically extract relevant information which will then be used
to create cross-links between related material, such as the biography
of an artist, exhibitions of his/her work, critical analyses, etc.;
organize
and further analyse the material crawled to serve focused queries generated
from user-formulated information needs;
interact with the user to
obtain a more specific definition of initial information requirements;
and finally
organize and display search results in an integrated,
user-friendly manner, allowing users to access and exploit the information
retrieved regardless of language barriers.
MultiMATCH will combine the
advantages of both generic and specialised search facilities: it will
be automatically updated via regular focused crawling of relevant web
sites, and does not involve costly maintenance for manual indexing, classification
or annotation of data. The system will be designed to support diverse
user classes but also to assist CH institutions to disseminate their
content widely and raise their visibility.
