It discusses how this structure could be used to access other types of digital heritage content.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>By using a relational database with spatial capabilities, a multi\u2010lingual search structure has been created which supports a temporal map and a facetted browser, collaborative facilities and a heritage resource viewer, with links to online catalogues.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>Combining data from three states with very different histories identified the strengths and weaknesses of the approach. The framework's flexibility means it could easily be re\u2010purposed to support front ends to other types of cultural content.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>Due to the variability in the administrative unit source data, its initial integration required significant manipulation to achieve consistency; however, the benefits of data assimilation ensure the base framework is as efficient as possible.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>Usage levels of on\u2010line cultural resources will be far higher if ordinary users can access them via access routes which have meaning for them, such as by locality\/place. Ontology\u2010based geographical frameworks are much easier to search by place name than are conventional GIS systems, and vastly more accessible to search engines.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>This interface demonstrates the potential for integrating data from any number of different national organisations into a single user tool.
