Abstract

Knowledge and learning management process in cultural contexts requires the application of methodologies able to create, sustain and share knowledge in a collaborative way through the participation of domain experts. This paper presents a practical learning model, which captures the significance of the cultural assets by means of the use of narrations. A narration is a medium for knowledge transfer being able to recollect and contextualise cultural data according to their historic and anthological meaning. The knowledge system, from which the narration stems, is based on the definition of relationships between a knowledge representation of the cultural domain fitting the conceptual model of the cultural experts and an information domain representation understandable by the machine (modelled by domain ontology). In this way, it is possible to promote a shared accessibility to the cultural knowledge and an enhancement of the collaborative opportunities among domain experts across the sharing of different perspectives.
