Finnish Museums on the Semantic Web

Overview This paper discusses the problem of making the contents of heterogeneous databases semantically interoperable on the web. This paper argues that semantic interoperability is needed in order to combine museum collection data logically and to provide the museum visitor with useful search and navigation services into the semantically rich cultural contents. A demonstrational implementation that combines two Finnish museum databases is discussed in this paper.
