Research

The gta Digital is dedicated to advanced digital research methods and technologies in the history and theory of architecture. It specializes in semantic data modelling, semantic data transformation and the development of state-of-the-art research methods and research environments for the institute's own research projects, collection data and public research portals.

The focus of research is on open, scientifically recognized and yet extensible conceptual reference models for cultural heritage, such as the external page CIDOC-CRM. Based on internationally established standards for data storage and exchange (e.g. OWL, RDF, RDF-S, SKOS), gta Digital provides domain-specific, state-of-the-art research environments that enable researchers to access the global linked data network.
