The cultural heritage artifacts that have been collected in national museums serve as important resources for learning, and contribute to the country’s development. In this work, we present TOMS (Thailand Open Museum System), a semantic-based application designed to enable collaboration and the sharing of a wide range of information among national museums. This is accomplished by using linked open data (LOD) and an ontology model based on accepted museum ontology standards from the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CIDOC CRM). The system is composed of the following three layers: (1) Data Store Layer for maintaining each museum’s database including digital 3D content and standard metadata descriptions, represented in a standard distributed data format; (2) Data Manipulation and Processing Layer for handling data processing and query execution; and (3) System Interface Layer designed for each particular site, to exchange and integrate data with other sites in the network via an LOD SPARQL endpoint. The system operations have been demonstrated through case studies and an evaluation, showing that they are highly effective and useful for both national museums and museum users.

TOMS：用于协作和分发泰国国家博物馆文化遗产文物收藏的关联开放数据系统

国家博物馆收藏的文化遗产文物是重要的学习资源，为国家的发展做出贡献。在这项工作中，我们展示了 TOMS（泰国开放博物馆系统），这是一种基于语义的应用程序，旨在实现国家博物馆之间的广泛信息协作和共享。这是通过使用链接的开放数据 (LOD) 和基于 CIDOC 概念参考模型 (CIDOC CRM) 中公认的博物馆本体标准的本体模型来实现的。该系统由以下三层组成： (1) 数据存储层，用于维护每个博物馆的数据库，包括数字 3D 内容和标准元数据描述，以标准分布式数据格式表示；(2) 数据操作和处理层，用于处理数据处理和查询执行；(3) 为每个特定站点设计的系统接口层，通过 LOD SPARQL 端点与网络中的其他站点交换和集成数据。系统操作已通过案例研究和评估得到证明，表明它们对国家博物馆和博物馆用户都非常有效和有用。
