Chinese ancient villages carry rich historical memories and cultural heritage.Under the promotion of national strategies,Chinese scholars have conducted registration-based protection of these ancient villages,accumulating and collecting a vast amount of materials.However,China has yet to establish a standard archival system that reveals the cultural spirits and connotations of these ancient villages,which hinders a macro-level understanding of the cultural resource information framework of Chinese ancient villages and fails to ensure the standardized preservation of their historical and cultural information.In response to this situation,this study relies on the CIDOC-CRM semantic framework,combined with three mainstream traditional archiving systems,and employs semantic annotation technology to construct an ontology model suitable for digital archiving of ancient villages.In practical applications across four ancient villages in Henan Province,this model systematically records and stores diverse data,including historical information,architectural features,and folk culture,achieving data interconnection through semantic linking.This provides strong technical support for the protection and inheritance of ancient villages and opens up new paths for future cultural heritage research.
