Abstract

Within cultural heritage collections, objects are often grounded in a particular historical setting. This setting can currently not be made explicit, as structured descriptions of events are either missing or not marked up explicitly. This paper reports a study on automatic extraction of an historical event thesaurus from unstructured texts. We show how this preliminary thesaurus accommodates event- and object-driven search and browsing of two cultural heritage collections.
