Abstract

The CAAPT Ontologies represent the structure and intellectual contents of terminology guideline documents along with the related work practices of reviewing and potentially editing records as a result of the identification of "problematic terminology" in cultural heritage institutions, with a particular focus on the museum context. It is named for the research project in which it was developed: the AHRC-funded studentship Computational Approaches for Addressing Problematic Terminology in V&A Museum catalogues. The three ontologies for this project - CAAPT-O, CAAPT-UC, and CAAPT-DM - model terms, definitions, suggestions, and actions, drawing on existing ontologies such as CIDOC CRM, OntoLex, CULCO, and the Web Annotation Data Model to represent the key concepts involved in critical cataloguing as defined by domain experts. The vocabulary - CAAPT-V - includes vocabulary concepts for classifying terms, texts, suggestions, senses, and catalogue record field types.

Introduction

CAAPT-V is a set of vocabularies for the implementation of a knowledge graph structured according to the CAAPT ontologies.

For an introduction of the CAAPT ontological framework, see the CAAPT ontologies overview

This work is being carried out as a part of the AHRC-funded studentship Computational Approaches for Addressing Problematic Terminology in V&A Museum catalogues.
