The research seeks to critically analyse their ability to represent archival documents, events, activities, and provenance through the application on a case study of historical baptism records.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study adopted a comparative approach, utilising the two models to represent a dataset of baptism records from a Portuguese parish spanning several centuries. This involved information extraction and conversion processes, transforming XML EAD finding aids into RDF to facilitate more explicit semantic representation and analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The analysis revealed distinctive strengths and limitations of each semantic model, providing nuanced insights into their respective capacities for archival description.
