A System Supporting Users of Cultural Resource Management Semantic Portals

Cultural Resource Management (CRM) represents an interesting application domain for innovative approaches, models and technologies developed by computer science researchers. This paper presents NavEditOW, a system for the navigation, query and updating of ontologies through the web, as a tool providing suitable functionalities for the design and development of semantic portals in the CRM area. NavEditOW supports ontology maintainers, content editors, and end-users, that have little or no specific knowledge on Semantic Web technologies and on related formal tools. A description of the application of the tool to the representation and management of archaeological knowledge for the description of publications in an e-library is also provided.
