Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

A knowledge graph (KG) is a data structure that captures and represents knowledge in a machine-readable format. Knowledge graphs have the potential to revolutionize the way that scholars in the humanities and cultural heritage disciplines organize, analyze, and discover new insights from vast amounts of cultural data. This Special Issue aims to contribute to the growing body of research on KGs for the domain of digital humanities and cultural heritage.

Submissions may be theoretical or empirical in nature. We are particularly interested in papers that demonstrate the application of KGs in digital humanities and cultural heritage, including case studies and demonstrations of tools and methods applied or applicable to digital humanities and cultural heritage. Authors are invited to submit review or research papers in one of the following topics:

Domains of application:

  • History;
  • Archaeology;
  • Cultural heritage;
  • Textual humanities;
  • Philology;
  • Language corpora;
  • Education;

Technical challenges:

  • Methods and tools for engineering KGs and ontologies, with a focus on digital humanities and cultural heritage;
  • Representing structured and connected humanistic knowledge and data on the Web;
  • Reasoning with ontologies and KGs;
  • Semantic portals;
  • Semantic annotation;
  • Semantic search;
  • Semantic integration;
  • Information extraction;
  • Ontology learning;
  • Topic modeling;
  • Semantic interoperability;
  • Semantic data visualization;
  • Semantic data quality;
  • Scalability in KGs and ontologies.
