Electronic Presentation of Bulgarian Educational Archives: an Ontology-Based Approach
Authors: Devreni–Koutsouki, Anna Abstract:
The paper presents an ongoing effort aimed at building an electronic archive of documents issued by
the Bulgarian Ministry of Education in the 40ies and 50ies of the 20th century. These funds are stored in the
Archive of the Ministry of the People’s Education within the State Archival Fund of the General Department of
Archives at the Council of Ministers of Bulgaria. Our basic concern is not the digitization process per se, but the
subsequent organization of the archive in a clear and easily-searchable way which would allow various types of
users to get access to the documents of interest to them. Here we present the variety of the documents which are
stored in the archival collection, and suggestions on their electronic organization. We suggest using ontologies-
based presentation of the archive. The basic benefit of this approach is the possibility to search the collection
according to the stored content categories.Publisher:
