Narrative Semantic Web -- Case National Finnish Epic Kalevala
Eero Hyvönen, Tuomas Palonen, Joeli Takala · 2010
This paper presents the idea of publishing stories and documented processes on the Semantic Web. By using narrative metadata and content descriptions based on ontologies, different parts, concepts, and individuals appearing in a story can be automatically linked to other parts of the narrative and to external related resources. This makes it possible to enrich the reading, searching, and browsing experience of the user. We present a case study, where the narrative story and content of the Finnish national epic Kalevala has been modeled in RDF/OWL and published as part of the semantic portal CultureSampo.
