Abstract:
Digital Archives deal with digital copies of documents, photo, video, audio etc. Traditional form of digital document’s structuring is database based on metadata fields like Dublin Core. A new approach for digital archiving is presented in this paper. This approach consists from two parts: structuring not only documents, but also joint important information and second – following ideas and standards of Semantic Web to provide integration and interoperability of local domains of archive data. A platform solution was designed to support the approach. Several applied systems oriented on accumulation of historical documents and facts were build.
