Relations for Reusing (R4R) in A Shared Context: An Exploration on Research Publications and Cultural Objects
2 likes1,702 views
The document discusses the 'Relations for Reusing' (R4R) ontology developed to explore the interconnections between research publications and cultural heritage data in a shared context. It emphasizes the necessity of aligning the internal research needs and external cultural heritage data to enhance data publication and citation principles through a linked data approach. The authors propose a contextual framework that incorporates three dynamic contexts – reusing, publication, and curation – to facilitate the understanding and evolution of these relationships.

Representation is a representation of the activity context setting itself (the sign), and is the form that the setting (the sign) takes. activity context Representation Interpretation Preservation (object) The Interpretantof a contextual setting is the Interpretation that is made of the setting. In this study, the interpretation is taken from the view of Zimmermann et.al. (2007) on Relations Context that context information captures the relations an entity has recognized to the others. The Object is the entity to which the context setting points, refers or applies. In this study, it is the specific preservation object that the authors, users, and curators refer to. The original “Object” has been adjusted to the object preservation for “Preservation” to describe associated activities.

Thus, we use hasProvenanceand hasLicensefor creating relationships for local curation or for sharing publications.
- 45. For Reusing, context transitions occur, and according to Zimmermann et.al. (2007) , context attributeswill change when one context enters another, and thus Provenance or License, or both can be packaged with RRObject for reusing purposes. For such uses of the relation, isPackagedWith, RRObject (article/data/code) and RRPolicy (provenance/license) are reachable and accessible for changing the original Publication and Curation contexts for a shift of the Reusing context.

- 55. The Result 1 -a contextual framework: Three dynamic contexts are expressed through a 3x3 matrix representing 9 conceptual components.
- 56. 3 Activity Contexts R P I We apply the triadic sign setting for decomposing the three activity contexts with associated 9 elements. 9 major conceptual elements This framework is inspired by context related theories and Charles Peirce’s sign theory (semiotics).
- 57. In other words, this contextual framework is dynamic & relational in supporting 3 contexts which are identified by different activities of 3 actors (user/author/curator). Activity Contexts: (Reusing/ Publication/ Curation) • individually constructed through the triadic sign setting: Representation-Preservation-Interpretation (R-P-I). • overlapped with 9 major conceptual elements (reflecting 3 dynamic contexts with relational associations to the R-P-I setting .

- 60. Advantages for using these two results: System designers, developers & curators have a contextual framework & ontology to assist them to: 1.identify major componentsin different contexts. 2.using R4R ontology to build relations between data from different domains. 3.explore meanings through the common understanding of the shared context.

- 63. We would also like to invite you to participate in validating this contextual framework and the R4R ontology. 1.Provide your use cases from your own domain to help increase internal/external semantic relations within this systematic framework. 2.Or suggest related data repositories and vocabularies to enrich possible usages for the R4R term concepts.
