Semantic and Interoperable Digital Models: Enabling Reactive Heritage Digital Twin (RHDT) Framework

This training resource offers a practical introduction to building semantic and interoperable digital models for Reactive Heritage Digital Twin (RHDT). Using a fictional Temple of Athena as a running example, it explains how diverse cultural heritage information, including documentation, heritage science observations, 3D models, simulations and risks, can be expressed through a coherent set of ontology modules.

With Vicky Dritsou From Athena R.C.

Semantic and Interoperable Digital Models: Enabling Reactive Heritage Digital Twin (RHDT) Framework

Episode: 4
Presenter
: Vicky Dritsou, Athena R.C.
Time: 14 minutes duration 
Learning Outcomes:

The goal of this training resource is to show how semantic and interoperable ontology modules support the creation, connection and semantic interpretation of heterogeneous cultural heritage data, and how they enable predictive reasoning within a Reactive Heritage Digital Twin.

This training resource offers a practical introduction to building semantic and interoperable digital models for Reactive Heritage Digital Twins (RHDTs). Using a fictional Temple of Athena as a running example, it explains how diverse cultural heritage information, including documentation, heritage science observations, 3D models, simulations and risks, can be expressed through a coherent set of ontology modules.

 

Participants are guided through the core principles of the Reactive Heritage Digital Twin Ontology (RHDTO) and its CIDOC-CRM aligned modules, showing how these structures enable interoperability across domains and support reasoning within the ARTEMIS Knowledge Base. The resource explains how digital representations evolve through transformations, how scientific and environmental observations are captured semantically, and how simulation and monitoring information contribute to predictive behaviours in the Reactive Heritage Digital Twin.

 

The result is a clear understanding of how semantic modelling provides the foundation for intelligent, interoperable and reusable knowledge about cultural heritage assets.
