Workflow

In this project we will discuss the process of reverse engineering the MP structure in order to obtain a museum standard format view. This process can be split into the two steps described below, as depicted in Figure:

  1. Reverse engineering of MP (from MP to MP ontology);
  2. Mapping the museum standard format view (from MP ontology to CIDOC-CRM);
  3. Extending the CIDOC-CRM version (from CIDOC-CRM to FOAF and DBPédia).



Reverse Engeneering


Based on the thesaurus, and on the DTDs illustrated in the reverse engineering process above, a first draft of an ontology for the Museum of the Person was created.


1 The first step was an exhaustive extraction of the concepts present in the life stories. After a long analysis phase we came up with the following list:

Concepts of DTD and Thesaurus to create the ontology
