Introduction

Arts Combinatòries is a general purpose Semantic Web (SW) focused on cultural visualizable contents (i.e media content). As such, it provides fully configurable templates to allow any user or institution store its semantic data (OWL/RDF) and link that to its media files. This documentation deeps further on template configuration and other useful parameters for customization.

Key features

Other key features are:

• REST services that allow complete interaction with all system functionalities.
• Media (audio, video, image, text) storage and video format conversion capabilities.
• Scriptable legal protection for medias to accomplish with any license of cultural objects.
• Support for users and groups, that makes possible to grant roles and permisions.
• Search capabilities based on Solr engine. Fully configurable indexing, filtering and autocomplete features.
• OAI-PMH compliance to allow LinkedData with third-parties.

The initial application of this SW is the Fundació Antoni Tàpies cultural archive.
