项目摘要

The OPAL project explores the possibilities offered by Linked Open Data and the Semantic Web to preserve and make available the physical heritage of a world that transcends the modern nation state and which is currently under threat. It takes as its focus the coinage of Alexander the Great, a unique and utterly transformative phenomenon across an area from the modern Balkans to Afghanistan and India. Coins issued by Alexander and in his name after his death exist today in the millions, scattered in collections across the world. But they are also the victim, as small pieces of precious metal, of wanton destruction and looting in their source countries. The OPAL project will place online a corpus of 5000 coins of Alexander in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford and the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris. It will do this in such a way as to create a framework of Linked Data resources that will allow their two collections to be virtually united for the first time, and that will create an extensible platform for the eventual incorporation of hundreds of thousands more coins in collections in other countries. As part of this massive, international dissemination it also seeks to contribute data to an existing project based in the United States, and with collaborators in Germany. Having established this platform, the project will also seek both to study the historical and economical impact of the coinage of Alexander and to advertise its existence and, using OPAL as a case-study, to investigate the role of such initiatives and such technology in the preservation of a heritage that transcends the national. To this end a two day conference will be organized with participants from the world of Museums, Libraries and Universities. A particular strength of the OPAL project is that it brings together the cataloguing and Linked Data strengths of a National Library with the research culture of a major University.

OPAL项目探索了链接开放数据和语义网提供的可能性，以保护和提供一个超越现代民族国家、目前正受到威胁的世界的物质遗产。它以亚历山大大帝的创造为重点，这是一个独特的、完全变革的现象，横跨从现代巴尔干半岛到阿富汗和印度的一个地区。亚历山大在去世后以他的名义发行的硬币今天以数百万枚存在，分散在世界各地的收藏品中。但他们也是来源国肆意破坏和掠夺的受害者，作为一小块贵金属。Opal项目将把一个5000枚亚历山大硬币的语料库放在网上，收藏于牛津的阿什莫林博物馆和巴黎的法国国家图书馆。它将以这样一种方式做到这一点，即创建一个关联数据资源的框架，使其两个收藏品首次几乎统一起来，并将创建一个可扩展的平台，最终将数十万枚硬币纳入其他国家的收藏品。作为这一大规模的国际传播的一部分，它还寻求为美国的一个现有项目以及德国的合作者提供数据。在建立这一平台后，该项目还将寻求研究亚历山大硬币的历史和经济影响，宣传其存在，并以Opal为案例研究，调查此类倡议和技术在保护超越国家范围的遗产方面的作用。为此，将组织一次为期两天的会议，来自博物馆、图书馆和大学的与会者将参加会议。Opal项目的一个特别优势是，它将国家图书馆的编目和关联数据优势与主要大学的研究文化结合在一起。
