Construction of Smart Data toward Dunhuang Grottoes

Taking the Dunhuang Grottoes as an example, this paper summarizes and proposes the related research and engineering routes on the construction of smart data based on multimodal digital resources of cultural heritage, such as documents, research reports, academic papers, and images. Through the design of proper knowledge organization systems and the development of special processing tools, the collected digital resources were annotated and processed in depth, which semantically realized the association and integration of scattered digital resources in the area of Dunhuang. Then, the results on the construction of smart data about Dunhuang Grottoes were demonstrated by the constructed platform—the Visualization Interaction and Integration Presentation Platform. This paper productively provides a set of methodological systems and technical tools aimed at the transformation from digital resources to smart data in the field of cultural heritage, which effectively improves the efficiency of value mining and correlation analysis of digital resources and lays a sufficient data foundation for the protection, inheritance, and utilization of cultural heritage.
