Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Semantic Digital Archives (SDA 2012)
Preface
The 2nd Workshop on Semantic Digital Archives (SDA 2012) builds upon the success of the
previous edition in 2011, held in conjunction with the International Conference on Theory and
Practice of Digital Libraries, TPDL 2011 (formerly known as European Conference on Digital
Libraries, ECDL). Organized as full‐day workshop, SDA 2012 aims to advance and discuss
appropriate knowledge representation and knowledge management solutions specifically
designed for improving Archival Information Systems. The main objective is to have a closer
dialogue between the technical oriented communities with people from the (digital) humanities
and social sciences, as well as cultural heritage institutions in general in order to approach the
topic from all relevant angles and perspectives. This workshop is an exciting opportunity for
collaboration and cross‐fertilization.
Intending to have an open discussion on topics related to the general subject of Semantic Digital
Archives, we invited contributions that focus on one of the following topics:
Ontologies & linked data for digital archives and digital libraries (incl. multimedia archives)
Semantic search & semantic information retrieval in digital archives and digital libraries (incl.
multimedia archives)
Implementations and evaluations of semantic digital archives
Theoretical and practical archiving frameworks using Semantic (Web) technologies
Semantic or logical provenance models for digital archives or digital libraries
Visualization and exploration of content in large digital archives
User interfaces for semantic digital libraries and intelligent information retrieval
User studies focusing on end‐user needs and information seeking behavior of end‐users
Semantic (Web) services implementing the OAIS standard
Logical theories for digital archives
Knowledge evolution
Information integration/semantic ingest (e.g. from digital libraries)
Trust for ingest & data security/integrity check for long‐term storage of archival records
Semantic extensions of emulation/virtualization methodologies for digital archives
Semantic long‐term storage and hardware organization tailored for digital archives
Migration strategies based on Semantic (Web) technologies
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.
These papers were joined by an invited keynote by Andreas Rauber (Vienna University of
Technology, Austria). In Digital Preservation in Data‐Driven Science: On the Importance of Process
Capture, Preservation and Validation he points out the necessity of capturing and documenting
processes (in addition to the context of data objects), especially in e‐Science and business
settings, and presents an approach for process preservation and verification upon later re‐
execution.
The paper Entity Extraction and Consolidation for Social Web Content Preservation (S. Dietze et
al.) presents an approach to extract and consolidate information from archived social Web
content in order to facilitate semantic search of Web archives. The work was developed in the
EC‐funded Integrating Project ARCOMEM.

With Do we need metadata? ‐ An On‐line Survey in German Archives Marcel Ruhl presents the
revealing results of a survey among German archives regarding the use of metadata standards
for the annotation of audiovisual media.
The paper Automatic Classification of Scientific Records using the German Subject Heading
Authority File (Ch. Wartena & M. Sommer) introduces an approach to assign subject
classifications to records without using machine learning techniques but by the application of
the German Subject Heading Authority File (SWD).
In Pundit: Semantically Structured Annotations for Web Contents and Digital Libraries (M. Grassi
et al.) the authors propose an annotation system, developed in the context of the Semlib project,
which provides the user with the ability to annotate distributed resources, i.e. multimedia
content published on the Web, using an extension of the Open Annotation Collaboration (OAC)
ontology.
The paper Towards a Recommender System for Statistical Research Data (D. Bahls et al.) presents
the conceptual ideas and the system architecture of a case‐based recommender system for
statistical data used in scientific research, and discusses possible similarity measures and
notification services.
With A method and guidelines for the cooperation of ontologies and relational databases in
Semantic Web applications L. Bozzato et al. showcase a methodology for mapping relational data
to an ontology structure to support SPARQL queries and inference and to take advantage of the
representation possibilities offered by both data models.
A critical issue when developing RDF‐based semantic archives is the right choice of an
appropriate large‐scale storage solution for the data. Yet Another Triple Store Benchmark?
Practical Experiences with Real‐World Data (M. Voigt et al.) presents the experimental setting
and the results of extensive performance tests of state‐of‐the‐art RDF stores using non‐synthetic
RDF datasets.
Finally, the paper Implementing CIDOC CRM Search Based on Fundamental Relations and OWLIM
Rules (V. Alexiev) proposes an approach to provide a higher‐level perspective on RDF data by
mapping complex sub‐graph patterns to simpler, more abstract descriptions using OWLIM rules.
The author presents an implementation of the concept regarding search with the CIDOC
Conceptual Reference Model.
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.
We would also like to thank Sun SITE Central Europe for hosting these proceedings on
