Modelling a bibliographic ontology of imperial diplomas: updates from the OntoVE Knowledge Base|Modellazione di un’ontologia bibliografica per diplomi imperiali: aggiornamenti dalla Base di Conoscenza OntoVE

This paper presents updates on the OntoVE_WrittenRecords Semantic Web Ontology in the OWL language presented during the annual AIUCD Conference in 2023. The ontology was conceived within the OntoVE project, which aims to collect Germanic Cultural Heritage (CH) itemsrelated to Veneto; more specifically, the ontology presented in this contribution conceptualizes the description of imperial diplomas issued by rulers of Germanic origin and related to Veneto. The ontologyreused initially FRBRoo and was updatedto LRMoo; it furthermore merges the LRMoo ontology with Bibframe. Moreover, a User Interface for the visualization and exploration of the dataset has been implemented.The main contribution of the paper consists in the alignment between domain ontologies and in the conceptualization of a model that makes explicit the connections between the contents, the places and the actors involved in imperial diplomas.
