Proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Semantic Digital Archives (SDA 2014)
Preface
The 4th Workshop on Semantic Digital Archives (SDA 2014) has built upon the success of
the previous editions in 2011 to 2013 and has been held as part of the International Digital
Libraries Conference (DL2014) on September 12, 2014 in London, UK. Organized as full-
day workshop, SDA 2014 has aimed to promote and discuss sophisticated knowledge
representation and knowledge management solutions specifically designed for improving
Archival Information Systems.
Archival Information Systems (AIS) are becoming increasingly important. For decades, the
amount of content created digitally is growing and its complete life cycle nowadays tends to
remain digital. A selection of this content is expected to be of value for the future and can
thus be considered being part of our cultural heritage. However, digital content poses many
challenges for long-term or indefinite preservation, e.g. digital publications become
increasingly complex by the embedding of different kinds of multimedia, data in arbitrary
formats and software. As soon as these digital publications become obsolete, but are still
deemed to be of value in the future, they have to be transferred smoothly into appropriate
AIS where they need to be kept accessible even through changing technologies.
The successful previous SDA workshops showed: Both, the library and the archiving
community have made valuable contributions to the management of huge amounts of
knowledge and data. However, both are approaching this topic from different views which
shall be brought together to cross-fertilize each other. There are promising combinations of
pertinence and provenance models since those are traditionally the prevailing knowledge
organization principles of the library and archiving community, respectively. Another
scientific discipline providing promising technical solutions for knowledge representation
and knowledge management is semantic technologies, which is supported by appropriate
W3C recommendations and a large user community. At the forefront of making the
semantic web a mature and applicable reality is the linked data initiative, which already has
started to be adopted by the library community. It can be expected that using semantic (web)
technologies in general and linked data in particular can mature the area of digital archiving
as well as technologically tighten the natural bond between digital libraries and digital
archives. Semantic representations of contextual knowledge about cultural heritage objects
will enhance organization and access of data and knowledge. In order to achieve a
comprehensive investigation, the information seeking and document triage behaviors of
users (an area also classified under the field of Human Computer Interaction) needs also to
be included in the research.
One of the major challenges of digital archiving is how to deal with changing technologies
and changing user communities. On the one hand software, hardware and (multimedia) data
formats that become obsolete and are not supported anymore still need to be kept accessible.
On the other hand changing user communities necessitate technical means to formalize,
detect and measure knowledge evolution. Furthermore, digital archival records are usually
not deleted from the AIS and therefore, the amount of digitally archived (multimedia)
content can be expected to grow rapidly. Therefore, efficient storage management solutions
geared to the fact that cultural heritage is not as frequently accessed like up-to-date content
residing in a digital library are required. Software and hardware needs to be tightly
connected based on sophisticated knowledge representation and management models in

order to face that challenge.
In line with the above, we invited contributions to the workshop that focus on:
Architectures and Frameworks for semantic AIS and Archival Information
Infrastructures (AII)
Semantic (Web) services implementing AIS & AII
Contextualization of digital archives, museums and digital libraries
Linked data for AIS, AII, museums and digital libraries
Ontologies for AIS, AII, museums and digital libraries
Semantics of complex content (e.g. Social Media, Multimedia)
Information integration/semantic ingest (e.g. from digital libraries)
Semantic search & information retrieval in digital archives, digital museums and
digital libraries
User interfaces for (semantic) AIS, AII, digital museums & semantic digital libraries
Semantics for Preservation Processes and Protocols
Preservation of work flow processes
(Semantic) provenance models
Semantics for the appraisal and selection of content
Evolving semantics in long-term archives
Trust for ingest & data security/integrity check for long-term storage of archival
records
User studies focusing on end-user needs and information seeking behavior of end-
users
Implementations & evaluations of (semantic) AIS, AII, semantic digital museums &
semantic digital libraries
Semantic long-term storage & hardware organization for AIS & AII & digital
libraries
We received submissions covering a broad range of relevant topics in the area of semantic
digital archives. With the help of our program committee all articles were peer-reviewed.
These proceedings comprise all accepted submissions which have been carefully revised
and enhanced by the authors according to the reviewers’ comments.
We sincerely thank all members of the program committee for supporting us in the
reviewing process. Altogether, the diversity of the papers in these proceedings represent a
multitude of interesting facets about the exciting and promising research field of semantic
digital archives and semantic digital archiving infrastructures. During the workshop itself
we had many fruitful and inspiring discussions which would not have been possible without
the well done presentations and the interested audience. Many thanks to all workshop
attendants for a great workshop!
We would also like to thank Sun SITE Central Europe for hosting these proceedings on
