View document

Bibliographic Details
Summary:Representing a specific domain of interest, ontologies can contribute to obtaining new knowledge about historical data. From an available prosopographical database, relationships between occupations and the status of various individuals (in general Holy Office members of the 16th-18th centuries) were identified and classified. Based on this knowledge an ontology was built using the Protégé software. The goal of this article is the description of how this ontology was built, from the resources that were used to the methodologies applied.
