Pedagogies of artistic tradition and heritage advocate for using online archives and collections to support self-regulated learning, creative inspiration, and the development of artistic voice and identity. Rather than static repositories, archives can function as living collections that are continually re-enacted to generate new experiences and understanding as records of performances and commentaries are added. This codetta reflects on the nature of archives relating to music and performance, and their possible use in the education of aspiring arts professionals and in inspiring future creative works. The use of archives to support a pedagogy of artistic tradition and heritage is at a nascent stage, as is the development of archives information...
Book chapter: Knowledge graph system for digitised archival collections

Khoo (Eds), Signature pedagogies for professions in arts and design: Issues, methods, contexts, practices (Chapter 10, pp. 149-175). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-96-2616-8_10 Abstract. This chapter discusses an underutilised resource in arts educational institutions that have a significant history: their archival collections, including the personal archives of famous artists and musicians who taught at the institution, were trained there, or were otherwise associated with the institution. The kinds of knowledge, insights and narratives that can be derived from such archival collections are examined. The authors propose knowledge graph as a suitable knowledge organisation scheme for representing items in the personal archives and their inter-relationships as well as links to concepts and resources on the Web. Three approaches to developing a knowledge graph are illustrated...

Tuarob (Eds.), 25th International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries, ICADL2023 (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 14458, pp. 3-11). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-8088-8_1 Abstract: The Polyglot Asian Medicine system hosts a research database of Asian traditional and herbal medicines, represented as a knowledge graph and implemented in a Neo4j graph database system. The current coverage of the database is mainly traditional Chinese medicines with some Malay and Indonesian data, with plans to extend to other Southeast Asian communities. The knowledge graph currently links the medicine names in the original and English languages, to alternate names and scientific names, to plant/animal parts they are made from, to literary and historical sources they were mentioned in, to geographic areas they were associated with,...
Article: Knowledge graph visualization interface for digital heritage collections
Khoo, C.S.G., Ng, S.G., Chan, C.F., Stanley-Baker, M., Tan, E.A.L., & Cheng, W.N. (2024). Knowledge graph visualization interface for digital heritage collections: Design issues and recommendations. Information Technology and Libraries, 43(1). https://doi.org/10.5860/ital.v43i1.16719 Abstract: Digital heritage portal interfaces are generally similar to digital library and search engine interfaces in displaying search results as a list of brief metadata records. The knowledge organization and search result display of these systems are item-centric, with little support for identifying relationships between items. This paper proposes a knowledge graph system and visualization interface as a promising solution for digital heritage systems to support users in browsing related items, understanding the relationships between items, and synthesizing a narrative on an issue. The paper discusses design issues for the knowledge graph, graph database, and graph visualization, and offers recommendations based on the authors’ experience in developing three knowledge graph systems for archive and digital humanities resources...
