Digitizing physical archives is designed to make documents more accessible. An ontology in this context is a network of discrete concepts (things, people, places, etc.) and, importantly, the relationships that connect them. This will help both the recall and the precision of the search: being able to link to concepts I didn’t type directly into the search box will get more results from a search, while knowing how the concepts are related to each other will make it easier to filter out the stuff that isn’t actually useful. Ontologies make a database more flexible and easier for a user to actually navigate.
