Integration of Spatial Technologies and Semantic Web Technologies for Industrial Archaeology
2010
International audience; We propose a method that uses the advancement in spatial technologies from current database systems within the Semantic Web Technologies in order to enrich and to populate the knowledge of a domain defined in an OWL-DL ontology. The results of spatial operations and functions are used to populate and to enrich ontologies with new individuals and new relationships. The advantage of spatial analysis within Semantic Web technologies is the diversity of the functionalities provided by the combination of spatial operations and the rule language of the Semantic Web (SWRL). This method is applied in the industrial archaeology domain in order to enhance the knowledge managem…
Architetture per l'energia. Fuoco (e ceneri) di una rivoluzione
2017
Se riconosciamo negli edifici industriali le radici dell'architettura moderna, la mutazione di significato a cui le architetture per l'energie vanno incontro, vale a dire quelle animate dalla fata elettricità all'inizio del XX secolo, può definire l'attuale concetto di fuoco. Considerata la rivoluzione del Novecento, la scoperta e l'applicazione dell'energia ha innescato un processo che non si è mai arrestato e che ha reso l'energia la vera chiave d'accesso alla contemporaneità. Oltre l'obsolescenza e l'uso dei combustibili tradizionali, l'elettricità è energia potenziale, ancora contenuta negli oggetti e capace di produrre nuovi valori; energia vera e propria, che consente agli apparecchi …
ArchaeoKM: Managing Archaeological data through Archaeological Knowledge
2010
International audience; Nowadays, the use of ontologies in the field of the archaeology is a new direction of research that is not fully tested. Some results are very encouraging and challenge the vision of archaeological sites which cannot be modeled semantically. Most of the re-searches based on ontology technologies in the arc-haeology domain are based on the research of finding on a common ground for the interoperability and the integration of data. Papers like (LANG 2009), (KOLLIAS 2008) cover these research. The project ArchaeoKM is a shift from such researches. It focus-es on using the knowledge possessed by the archaeo-logists to model the data of an archaeological project, and to d…
ArchaeoKM: Realizing Knowledge of the Archaeologists
2010
The potentiality of ontology within the faculty of archaeology has recently been felt. However, the use of ontology is limited either within the data interoperability for data sharing within various heterogeneous platforms or data integration of heterogeneous dataset. Thus the full potentiality of ontology is still to be realized within the community of archaeology. We are developing a system "ArchaeoKM" which uses ontology beyond data integration. It uses the strength of ontology to reason the knowledge presented within. Additionally, ArchaeoKM involves archaeologists to define their knowledge of an excavation site through domain rules which they define through the descriptions and observa…
Butterfly effect. Inhabiting post-industrial sites
2018
In the Fifties, Renaat Braem defined “jungle” the appearance of Belgian urbanization, where it is hardly recognizable a real shape or order unless its description of “diffused city”, following the infrastructural network. This is the “typical” Belgian way of settle in the territory, along with the highly infrastructural land and the heavy industries spotting all along the Walloon axis, the industrial backbone running east-west from Mons to Verviers. Nevertheless, now that the traditional industrial exploitation is near to an end, we can find a strong identity core in this landscape, anchored to the history of these places and to the practices that there used to be acted. Belgium itself can …
Il disegno dei luoghi della produzione: tecniche/tecnologie Tre esempi siciliani fra XVIII e XIX secolo
1995
La tesi è incentrata sulla applicazione di metodi di rilevamento e di rappresentazione per lo studio di alcuni esempi di Archeologia industriale in Sicilia. The work is focused on the study of some ancient facilities in Sicily. Wine plants in Marsala (TP), Sulphur mines near Caltanissetta and a chemical industry in the neighbours of Palermo are surveyed and drawn so to put into evidence the connection between form and function.
Introduction of a spatial layer in the Semantic Web framework : a proposition through the Web platform ArchaeoKM
2011
Spatial technology has gained momentum under database systems. More specifically, the spatial operations and spatial functions are used to carry out spatial analysis which can be executed through these database systems. In addition, there has been significant amount of research in the field of the geospatial ontology domain in order to achieve the semantic interoperability between different data sources. Although, data interoperability is one of the main objectives of the Semantic Web technologies, the potentiality of the underlying knowledge tools and techniques have not been completely identified. With the growing influence of the Semantic Web technologies towards the application based on…
