Abstract:

Ancient Chinese scientific and technological documents have rich and highly-related

semantic， but the digital ancient books edited and published by different collection institutions are

heterogeneous. Applying the principles and technologies of Semantic Web in the digitalization of

ancient Chinese scientific and technological documents can solve the problems of distribution，

interoperation and cross-language. The author takes the ancient agricultural books as an example，

proposed a Semantic Publishing solution based on the Bibliographic Ontology Linked Data ： on the

basis of General Bibliography Chinese Scientific and Technological Documents（Agricultural Volume）

compiled by himself ： to extract 1285 kinds of agricultural ancient books of metadata semi

automatically， to identify the granularity of coarse， medium and fine three kinds of Knowledge Unit;

Then， two kinds of internal associations， entity relation and attribute relation， are established by

means of logical reasoning and pattern matching， and the external association with Web Ontology and

Knowledge Organization System is established by calling the API of open linked data. The repository

of ancient agricultural books developed through the above steps will serve users through three modes.

Although the Semantic Publishing of ancient agricultural books has a promising application， we cannot

ignore the great challenges it faces in the Infrastructure Layer and Resource Layer.
