[Article in Journal] A Resource Hub for Interoperability and Data Integration in Heritage Research: The H-SeTIS Database

This article discusses the Milan branch of CNR-ISPC’s contributions to the Humanities and Cultural Heritage Italian Open Science Cloud (H2IOSC) Project, which aims to enhance data integration in Heritage Science. The project focuses on creating a shared semantic framework for interoperability between resources from different institutions. The H-SeTIS database, under development, will serve as a central platform for cataloging semantic tools relevant to Heritage Science. A preliminary analysis highlights that many semantic resources in this field fail to meet accessibility and reusability standards, pointing to the need for improvements in developing a comprehensive cultural heritage ontology.
