Description

This poster is published with the Digital Humanities Conference 2025 in Lisbon, Portugal.
It showcases the integration of metadata from two cultural heritage (CH) sources - RISM Online and the Gregorovius digital edition - into the NFDI4Culture Knowledge Graph (NFDI4Culture-KG). NFDI4Culture-KG enhances findability and interoperability across disciplines like musicology, art history, and media studies.
Using shared authority files (e.g., GND, VIAF) and the NFDI4Culture Ontology (CTO), heterogeneous datasets are semantically linked via e.g. people and locations. The integration is powered by an ETL environment (Culture Knowledge Graph Kitchen) enabling scalable harvesting, transformation, and integration of metadata on CH data into the Culture Knowledge Graph.
This enables researchers to discover new connections - such as between musical sources of RISM Online and letters of the Gregorovius edition - via SPARQL or perspectively a GUI, enhancing cross-domain research in cultural heritage.
