Ontology engineering to model the European cultural heritage: The case of Cultural gems

Cultural gems is a crowdsourced web platform aimed at creating community-led maps as well as a common repository for cultural and creative places across European cities and towns. The main goal is to provide a vision of European culture, reinforcing a sense of belonging to a common European cultural space. Cultural gems maps more than 300 European cities and towns and since 2020 it also lists online cultural initiatives. The new release under current development aims, among other, to increase the interoperability of the application. At this purpose, we provide an overview on the preliminary development of an ontology for Cultural gems used to map cultural heritage in European cities, adopting FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles and following the paradigms of Linked Open Data (LOD). We provide an overview of the methodology under current development, presenting the structure of the ontology, and the services and tools we are currently building on top.
