Research funding project
The Semantic Culture Guide Project in a nutshell: People, Organizations and IT are today's main entitites that form the foundation of our modern economy. In order to support a cultural and tourism scenario successfully, both technical and non-technial issues have to be addressed. With the help of a multi-disciplinary project consortium with partners coming from academia, cultural organizations, people and artists, and the industry, the Semantic culture Guide has identified the non-technial issue "Trust" as the missing link in this context to glue together the ingredients "technology" and "artists, culture events and users/tourists". The Semantic Culture Guide Project aims at both themes of the "FIT-IT Semantic Systems" call with special focus on scrutinizinig the concept of "Trust" within a risky surrounding like the internet. 1. On the one hand, detailed information of relationships within Austria's culture landscape has to be incorporated into an ontology based on Semantic Web technologies. 2. On the other hand, this specific ontology has to serve as an intelligent resource-pool for process-based Web-Services the enable users - culture event organizers and users/tourists - "adaptively" to create an application environment that fits their needs.
