Abstract

Architectural archives, usually held by private bodies, are important primary sources of information for architecture and urban development historians; for architects themselves, who research archives for inspiration and to prepare for restoration; and also for common citizens, who may find it interesting to discover the designs of their own homes. Cataloguing standards for archival descriptions of architectural records have existed at least since the 1980s, however, the rise of Linked Open Data as a framework for publishing cultural heritage data has allowed archivists to enhance the descriptions with rich contextual information and links to external knowledge bases. In this paper, we present an extension of RiC-Ontology designed for describing architectural archival records and the creative process that leads to their production, and we discuss its application to the project files of Italian architect and engineer Dino Tamburini (1924-2011). The ontology is suitable for representing typical architectural records such as drawings, written reports, bid documents and photographs, but also the different stages of an architectural project and their actors.
