Semantic precision: crafting RDF-based digital editions for unveiling the layers of historical correspondence.
This article proposes that Resource Description Framework (RDF) technology is well suited for representing and storing inherently connected epistolary data. We justify this proposition by creating an RDF-based digital edition of the correspondence of members of the Bernoulli dynasty and Leonhard Eul...

We justify this proposition by creating an RDF-based digital edition of the correspondence of members of the Bernoulli dynasty and Leonhard Euler and depicting the benefits this type of edition provides, which are hardly achievable otherwise. We describe the ontologies defined to fully represent letters and illustrate how we formulated letters' historical, scientific content, rich with mathematical formulae, markups, figures, and references, as RDF statements to facilitate complex queries common in the humanities field. Next, we outline the tools we developed for presenting these editions in an efficient and user-friendly form, hiding the complexity of the data structure from non-technical users while offering sophisticated analysis features to explore atoms of knowledge and their relations. Additionally, since the citability and durability of the studied digital sources play a crucial role for scholars who publish research on the editions, we explain the steps we undertook to ensure the sustainability of the RDF-based editions and to offer persistent citation possibility. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: © 2019 EADH: The European Association for Digital Humanities. item: Digital Scholarship in the Humanities holder: Oxford University Press / USA dt: @attributes: year: 2024 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
