Ontology-based construction of embroidery intangible cultural heritage knowledge graph: A case study of Qingyang sachets

Abstract

The fine-grained mining and construction of semantic associations within multimodal intangible cultural heritage (ICH) resources are crucial for deepening our understanding of their knowledge content and ensuring their systematic protection and transmission in the digital and intelligent era. This paper addresses the urgent need for the digital preservation and transmission of ICH resources. Following a review of current research on Qingyang sachets and ICH, the study introduces an ontology-based approach to constructing a semantic description model for the multimodal digital resources related to Qingyang sachets. By acquiring and processing multimodal resources concerning the craftsmanship and associated customs of Qingyang sachets, the study reorganizes the corresponding textual and visual knowledge. Utilizing knowledge graphs, the research explores multidimensional pathways for delivering knowledge services related to the multimodal digital resources of Qingyang sachets. Empirical research confirms the applicability and feasibility of the proposed semantic association scheme for multimodal ICH digital resources. The findings provide valuable insights for multidimensional organization and integration across scenarios, time periods, and resources within the ICH domain, offering a reference for digital solutions aimed at the systematic protection of ICH.
