English abstract

In this paper we present an account of the (digitized/digital) “culture seen” and the “culture experienced”. For each cultural artefact, digitized and brought online, we assume both 1) a formal description (using OWL-DL for example) and 2) a folksonomical description (short text with keywords) will be provided. We anticipate said descriptions to be accommodated within the CIDOC-CRM ISO Standard and expect compatible re-alignments with respect to the Getty Vocabularies. We address the basic research question: how can we re-connect with our cultural roots through what we see on the digital screen and integrate it with our (shared) lived culture today in 2009? A second subsidiary question arises: how can we engage with the culture of another, especially where inter-cultural conflict has historic roots? One resolution is to play “the digital re-discovery of culture (DrDC) game of inquiry” based on the saw “By indirections, find direction out”. A key aspect of such resolution crucially depends on the notion of (digital) access. We choose three examples: (a) 2 paintings from two different Art Galleries in Bulgaria, (b) 2 sculptures from the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, Ankara, Turkey, and (c) 2 contrasting murals from Belfast, Northern Ireland. A new DrDC game is presented.
