The development of a novel cultural geosemantic information system promises to convey geospatial information in exciting new ways. Academic institutes, museums and tourism portals stand to benefit from this endeavour.
Cutting-edge geoinformation technology is increasingly being exploited to make cultural and scientific heritage more accessible to the public. One initiative in this respect is the EU-funded CULTURALGEOSEMANTICS (Geosemantics for cultural heritage documentation – Domain specific ontological modelling and implementation of a cultural geosemantic information system based on ISO specifications) project, which aimed to integrate semantic cultural heritage applications with professional geoinformation.
