    Semantic Applications in Humanities: Real World Examples (Semantics from Plato to PHAROS)

     Περίληψη / Abstract

    Advanced Services is an international actor that operates in the field of art research by employing cutting-edge semantic based digital solutions. Throughout its journey various research infrastructure needs were materialized from ideas to real applications setting industrial light to academic darkness. During this presentation, in order to introduce the audience to the utilization of semantics, a brief explanation of the critical meanings of ontology and semantic networks will be provided. Furthermore, a real-world example of the PHAROS Art Research platform and its current digital features and capabilities will be presented. Finally, to gain a more comprehensive understanding of how semantic technologies work from start to finish, a project that is currently under development, related to Holocaust Archives, will be showcased. The aim of this short seminar-presentation is to showcase the unique features of semantics through the lens of a Greek deep-tech enterprise with expertise in the field of Art Research.
