Lessons learned are presented on how the infra has been used to create over 20 online applications that have been visited by millions of users. By using AI-based methods, steps towards a Web of Wisdom can be taken. The notion of explainable relational search is considered as an example.

摘要

This extended abstract of a keynote talk at the 29th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries (TPDL 2025) presents the vision, research, and lessons learned in Finland 2003–2025 on building a national level Semantic Web infrastructure for publishing Cultural Heritage (CH) content and Digital Humanities research. Lessons learned are presented on how the infra has been used to create over 20 online applications that have been visited by millions of users. By using AI-based methods, steps towards a Web of Wisdom can be taken. The notion of explainable relational search is considered as an example. The work presented is unique due to its systematic national level nature and long time span of over twenty years.
