Cultural Institutions in the Digital Age: The Future of Infrastructures
Exciting day at DaSCHCon2025!
Thomas Hänsli, George Bruseker, and Matteo Romanello presented our project “The Open Research Data Environments for the Arts (ORDEA)” at the annual conference of DaSCH - Swiss National Data and Service Center for the Humanities, Switzerland, hosted at the Museum für Kommunikation Bern.
Many thanks to the organizers for an inspiring conference and engaging discussions!
Funded by swissuniversities and hosted at Swiss Art Research Infrastructure (SARI), ORDEA provides the ontological foundations, comprehensive semantic patterns, and advanced tools for mapping and modelling research and collection data in the cultural heritage domain, building a semantic and technical infrastructure required for trustworthy OpenResearchData in the cultural heritage sector – enabling interoperability across institutions, long-term sustainability, and alignment with European EOSC / FAIR / NFDI priorities. It also addresses the urgent challenge of leveraging the rapidly growing volume of AI- and machine-learning–generated data in cultural heritage knowledge graphs by providing both a comprehensive survey and tools for modelling the provenance of machine-generated data.
ORDEA is a collaboration between Swiss Art Research Infrastructure (SARI) / University of Zurich, Takin.solutions, ETH Zürich, and University of Basel.
