New published work: “OntoAndalus: An ontology of Islamic artefacts for terminological purposes”

Bruno Almeida and Rute Costa signs the article “OntoAndalus: An ontology of Islamic artefacts for terminological purposes” published at the thematic issue “Semantic Web for Cultural Heritage” of the Semantic Web Journal.

OntoAndalus aims at constituting a shared conceptualisation of the domain within a future multilingual terminological resource targeted at experts and students of Islamic archaeology (see more information: https://clunl.fcsh.unl.pt/en/online-resources/ontologias/ontoandalus/).

This article describes the modelling assumptions underlying OntoAndalus, as well as the more relevant design patterns (i.e. artefact types, events and individuals). The latter are exemplified through relevant case studies in the domain, namely those of lighting artefacts, the life cycle of pottery and the several descriptions of Vaso de Tavira.
