Abstract
Since the dawn of the new millennium and even earlier, a coordinated effort has been underway to expand the World Wide Web into a machine-readable web of data known as the Semantic Web. The field of art and culture has been one of the most eager to integrate with the Semantic Web, since metadata, data structures, linked-data, e.g., the Getty vocabularies project and the Europeana LOD initiative—and other building blocks of this web of data are considered essential in cataloging and disseminating art and culture-related content. However, art is a constantly evolving entity and as such it is the subject of a vast number of online media outlets and journalist blogs and websites. During the course of the present study the researchers collected information about how integrated the media outlets that diffuse art and culture-related content and news are to the Semantic Web. The study uses quantitative metrics to evaluate a website’s adherence to Semantic Web standards and it proceeds to draw conclusions regarding how that integration affects their popularity in the modern competitive landscape of the Web.

Academic Editor: RafaelThe Semantic Web, as a means to structure and disseminate data through machinereadability [1], is very important in the fields of art and culture and a cornerstone of digitized art and cultural heritage collections around the globe [2]
In the study presented in this article, the researchers proceeded to get a thorough glimpse at the landscape of Semantic Web information provided by art and culture-related websites with an added focus on the reportorial or journalistic aspects of this information
Since the main point of the analysis is to identify the most important features related to semantic web technologies with respect to the ranking of a website, we perform a grid search for the parameter space of XGBoost
Summary
Academic Editor: RafaelThe Semantic Web, as a means to structure and disseminate data through machinereadability [1], is very important in the fields of art and culture and a cornerstone of digitized art and cultural heritage collections around the globe [2]. Since art and culture themselves are often the subject of journalistic content, the usage of Semantic Web technologies especially in media outlets that focus on these specific fields presents a very interesting landscape for research. In the study presented in this article, the researchers proceeded to get a thorough glimpse at the landscape of Semantic Web information provided by art and culture-related websites with an added focus on the reportorial or journalistic aspects of this information. In order to do so, a variety of relevant websites were identified using a process that involved both automated and expert manual selection These identified websites were perused by an automated crawling algorithm and metrics about their integration of Semantic Web technologies were collected.
