Abstract
One of the most significant challenges in digital humanities research is the archiving, accessing, linking, and analyzing data from many different resources, which is called semantic integration. Semantic integration is the process of using a conceptual representation of the data and their relationships, which is the ontology, to eliminate possible heterogeneities. Ontologies can be used for integration architecture, where metadata from different sources can be mapped and integrated. This paper aims for exploring on the use of metadata and ontologies to develop semantic integration of Thai culture research from different databases. The Thai culture domain is focusing on 'Heet Sib Song' which is the traditional twelve months fesitval that well recognized in the northeast of Thailand. We use the Ontology Development 1010 as a conceptual representation of Heet Sib Song domain to create semantic integration of metadata from different databases and then the data will be mapped which can be used for further archiving and accessing in the future. In addition, the research activities on digital content management and system on cultrual heritages at the Digital Humanties Research Group, Khon Kaen University, Thailand will be presented.
