A semantic-based framework for managing, searching and retrieving 3D resources - Part 2
2 likes581 views
The document outlines a semantic-based framework called the Digital Shape Workbench (DSW) for managing, searching, and retrieving 3D resources, integrating various components through ontological structures. Key features include resource management, advanced searching, and browsing of a substantial knowledge base comprising over 1000 models and various software tools, as well as multiple ontologies for improved resource categorization. The DSW serves as a comprehensive knowledge management system, supporting significant achievements in the field of cultural heritage applications.

- 2. AIM@SHAPE main achievements Resources (data repositories) and knowledge have been integrated into a unified Digital Shape Workbench (DSW) interface. All components are linked through ontological structures (“knowledge technologies for shapes”). Main services supported: uploading of resources (models, tools, bibliographic references etc); advanced searching (SSE & GSE), browsing and downloading resources; management of resource metadata (i.e. insert/edit/delete metadata); management and maintenance of ontologies.

- 6. DSW Knowledge Infrastructure Ontology Server The role of the Ontology Server is to integrate the SSE, the Inference Engine and the OMR. Ontology and Metadata Repository (OMR) The OMR is an ontology management system and constitutes the knowledge base back-end of the DSW. Semantic Search Engine (SSE) Inference Engine (RacerPro v1.9) Several protocols and APIs VSMM 09, Workshop on 3D Knowledge Technologies for Cultural Heritage Applications, 12 Sept. 2009
- 7. Knowledge base content The Ontology and Metadata Repository contains metadata for 1000+ models, 80+ tools/software, 220+ instances for Users and Institutions, 3500+ context-dependent instances in the domain and common ontologies. This large knowledge base provides a measure of the scalability of the DSW infrastructure. It has also provided a solid test base for the evaluation of the efficiency of the SSE.

- 21. Overall Functionalities The geometric similarity between shapes is evaluated as a distance between descriptions of the shape that capture relevant properties of the shape The main ingredients are Tools for computing shape descriptors Tools for computing distances between shape descriptors (comparison methodologies) Tools for computing shape descriptors and for computing distances between shape descriptors are implemented as stand-alone tools that can be plugged into the GSE The GSE works with different matching criteria depending on the shape descriptors and the comparison methodologies available (e.g. global or partial matching) VSMM 09, Workshop on 3D Knowledge Technologies for Cultural Heritage Applications, 12 Sept. 2009
- 22. Comparison methodologies Five comparison methodologies Structural descriptors 1. matching algorithm for attributed directed graphs 2. matching algorithm for directed graphs Topological descriptor 1. matching algorithm based on the Matching distance 2. matching algorithm based on the Hausdorff distance Geometric descriptor 1.
