El concepto de documento de archivo digital : una propuesta de ontología

Abstract

The use of ontologies as “semantic representations” is one of the recent tools emerged from the principles introduced by the “Semantic Web”; it offers new advantages and uses for archivists for improved record descriptions aiming for a better keeping, retrieval and preservation of records. The purpose of this paper is, on the one hand, to analyze what is meant by ontology from the Archival Science approach; and on the other, introduces specifically a proposal of ontology applied to the concept of digital record in archives to illustrate its use, construction and advantages.
