Abstract

Cultural heritage information systems, which generally deal with the domain, custody and exposure of digital objects, experience in their repositories the challenges of semantic interoperability, which requires that multiple repositories can collaborate with each other in a certain level of context. The present work intended to present an overview of the strategies researched on the subject from 2014 to 2021. The methodology used was a systematic literature review, and after applying inclusion/exclusion criteria, 49 works were selected for full reading. In conclusion, it points out that the most used strategy for the challenges of semantic interoperability is the use of ontologies at various levels.
