Preservation of intangible heritage: a case-study of indian classical dance

TLDR
This work presents an ontology based approach to capture and preserve the knowledge with digital heritage artefacts, and proposes the use of Multimedia Web Ontology (MOWL) that supports probabilistic reasoning with media properties of domain concepts, to encode the domain knowledge.
Abstract
Cultural heritage is encoded in a variety of forms. The task of preserving heritage involves preserving the tangible and intangible resources that broadly define that heritage. A significant aspect of intangible heritage resources are performing arts which include classical dance and music. Digital heritage resources include heritage artefacts in digitized form as well as the background knowledge that puts them in perspective. We present an ontology based approach to capture and preserve the knowledge with digital heritage artefacts. Since the artefacts are generally preserved in multimedia format, we propose the use of Multimedia Web Ontology (MOWL) that supports probabilistic reasoning with media properties of domain concepts, to encode the domain knowledge. We propose an architectural framework that includes a method to construct the ontology with a labelled set of training data and use of the ontology to automatically annotate new instances of digital heritage artefacts. The annotations enable creation of a semantic navigation environment in a cultural heritage repository. We have realized a proof of concept in the domain of Indian Classical Dance and present some results.

eHeritage of shadow puppetry: creation and manipulation

TL;DR: The sparsity optimization over simplexes formulation to automatically assemble weighted instances of different atomic actions into a smooth shadow puppetry animation sequence is proposed and extensive experimental results on the creation of puppetry characters and puppetry plays well demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system.

An extensive review of computational dance automation techniques and applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have attempted to automate several aspects of dance, right from dance notation to choreography, and they have shown that dance is an art and when technology meets this kind of art, it is a novel attempt in itself.

Full Bayesian network classifiers

TL;DR: This paper presents a novel, efficient decision tree learning, which is also effective in the context of FBC learning and demonstrates better performance in both classification and ranking compared with other state-of-the-art learning algorithms.

A Bayesian Approach to Uncertainty Modelling in OWL Ontology

TL;DR: The authors' on-going research on modelling uncertainty in ontologies based on Bayesian networks (BN) includes extending OWL to allow additional probabilistic markups for attaching probability information and converting a probabilistically annotated OWL ontology into a BN structure by a set of structural translation rules.
