The Heritage Science Ontology seeks to formalize knowledge in the field of Heritage Science, providing researchers, conservators, and institutions with a structured and interoperable framework for sharing, analyzing, and processing heritage data. By bridging gaps across diverse disciplines—including archaeology, art conservation, epigraphy, and digital documentation—the ontology fosters a more integrated and systematic approach to heritage research.
The model is currently hosted on GitLab:
An ontology for the Heritage Science domain
In this GitLab repository issues serve as a key tool for tracking tasks, discussions, and challenges requiring attention. These issues facilitate the organization of work by categorizing topics such as bug fixes, feature proposals, and clarifications, ensuring that contributions are effectively managed and prioritized. This transparent approach enhances collaboration and streamlines project development.
Discussions within the RoundTable focus on key themes outlined in the topics categories, while members contribute case-studies to explore practical applications and envision potential use cases for the ontology.
