Proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Semantic Digital Archives (SDA 2015)
Preface
The 5th Workshop on Semantic Digital Archives (SDA 2015) has built upon the success of the
previous editions in 2011 to 2014 and has been held as part of the 19th International
Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries (TPDL 2015) on September 18, 2015
in Poznan, Poland. Organized as full-day workshop, SDA 2015 has aimed to promote and
discuss sophisticated knowledge representation and knowledge management solutions
specifically designed for improving Archival Information Systems.
Archival Information Systems are systems that are tailored to preserve digital information and
provide access to current and future users. Such systems 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. as 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
Archival Information System where they need to be kept accessible even through changing
technologies.
The successful previous Semantic Digital Archives (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 and the digital humanities community
showcasing already exciting applications involving end-users. 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, archival records are usually not deleted from
classical archives and correspondingly, digital archival records might have to be preserved
infinitely in Archival Information Systems as well. Therefore, the amount of digitally

archived (multimedia) content can be expected to grow rapidly. Efficient storage management
solutions adequate for big data and 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 Archival Information Systems (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.
One focus of this year’s edition of the workshop was the topic of managed forgetting and
contextualizing remembering, which was nicely introduced by the invited talk given by
Claudia Niederée. The accepted papers of this year’s edition covered topics from preserving
research data involving geographical information, an archival infrastructure for a textbook
research archive, semantic expert search in textbook research archives, automated annotation
for the SciDocAnnot scientific document model supporting faceted search, an investigation
of the usability of anchor text as proxy for user queries and, finally, use cases, requirements
and models for entity-centric preservation of linked open data. All these topics lie at the heart
of the area of Semantic Digital Archives and provided the base for fruitful discussions, also
in the final panel discussion of the workshop.
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
