Semantic ENrichment Enabling Sustainability of arCHAeological Links (SENESCHAL) was an AHRC funded project lead by the University of South Wales Hypermedia Research Unit, which brought the ADS into collaboration with English Heritage, RCAHMS and RCAHMW. The SENESCHAL project built on outcomes and tools from the previous AHRC funded STAR and STELLAR projects, which addressed the lack of vocabulary control (with unique identifiers) hindering the full potential of the resulting Linked Data. Major thesauri act as informal standards, lacked the unique identifiers to allow them to act as the envisaged vocabulary hubs for the Web of Data. SENESCHAL created knowledge exchange, based on enhanced vocabulary services, which makes it easier for data providers to index their data with uniquely identified controlled terminology, and allow vocabulary providers to make their vocabularies available as Linked Data.
The completed outputs are now available at Heritage Data.
