History ontology (HISTO)
One of the main challenges in modelling in cultural domain is the historical aspect of the content.
Our aim is to offer
- a systematic and consistent way to model the structure of the history-oriented content
- a vocabulary with equivalencies between old and modern Finnish
- a systematic way to exploit History ontology in diverse modelling tasks
HISTO ontology is created as part of the FinnONTO project.

Historia-ontologia (HISTO)
Eräs keskeinen haaste kulttuurisisältöjen mallintamisessa on historiallinen ulottuvuus.
Historia-ontologia pyrkii tarjoamaan
- järjestelmällisen ja johdonmukaisen tavan historiallisen aineiston rakenteen mallintamiseen
- synonyymikäsitteistön, jonka avulla historialliset sanastoille saadaan nykyaikaiset vastineet
- johdonmukaisen tavan hyödyntää historiaontologiaa erilaisten aineistojen kuvailussa
Historiaontologian kehitystyö on osa Suomalaiset semanttisen webin ontologiat -projektia.

We argue that an ontology of historical events is needed in semantic portals for cultural heritage due to three reasons. First, ontological identifiers (URIs) of events, such as the World War II or coronation of Napoleon, are needed in order to make collection metadata mutually interoperable in terms of related events---in the vein as identifiers are needed for identifying artifact types, persons, and geolocations when annotating collection items. Second, events are of central importance in creating semantic links between cultural contents in applications such as recommendation systems. Third, historical events are important as content items of their own, forming the backbone of chronological histories.
