Transforming a Global Collaborative Platform for Research and Practice to Improve Conservation of Cultural Heritage

Abstract

This project will transform the ConservationWiki, an important global source of information about virtually every aspect of conservation, from material science and scientific analysis to specific treatment methods and health and safety measures. Specifically, the project will add semantic tags to the existing content, which will then drive a sophisticated navigation and search system. “On the fly” definitions of unfamiliar terms will be enabled by tagging Glossary terms. These enhancements will aid researchers, students, and practitioners, and allow for connections to be made to the Linked Conservation Data project.
