10. UNEDATA Advantages
More visibility and impact in the
researchers work – Open Access
More efficiency in our research
Exploitation of the richness of spread
data
Possibilities of ampliation through
linking UNED to other universities

11. Project phases
Data analysis and
preparation of the
infrastructure
Ontologies design
and modeling
Development and
implementation
Visualization and
information

13. DIREPO
Linking digital poetic repertoires
www.remetca.uned.es

14. The project
ReMetCa
Repertorio Métrico Digital de la Poesía Medieval Castellana
(Digital Repertoire on the Metrics of the Medieval Castilian
Poetry)
2011
Tool to study and research on
Medieval Castilian Poetry

15. Metrical repertoires:
From paper to digital

17. Metrical repertoires:
From paper to digital

18. Metrical repertoires:
From paper to digital

19. Why don’t we link repertoires?

20. How to link repertoires
Issues to consider
Different structure and level of complexity
Different content and antiquity
Different technological systems
SQL databases
Propietary RDBMS systems
XML tagged text
Different levels of access

21. Interoperability solutions
• Using SQL forms to
combine SQL
databases
• Transforming content
into XML tagged text
• Using standardized
protocols of
interoperability like
OAI-PMH
• Not possible for non
SQL databases
• Would require a lot of
work on each DB
• Not enough to
express the content
and relations of each
repertoire

22. Solution

23. Linked data challenge

24. Why a linked data model
Based on metadata added to existing
databases
Does not alter the internal structure of
each repertoire
Code is published as linked data
available on the web
Extensible and flexible model

25. Steps to implement the model
Modelling a common ontology
Identification of fields corresponding to
metadata in each database
Data ingest and data curation
Establishement of a SPARQL endpoint
Visualization tools and apps

26. We are here…
Modelling a common ontology for
poetical repertoires

27. Some issues
No previous ontology on poetry
existed
Need of standardization of some fields
(eg: metrical and rhythmical scheme)
Need to create controlled
vocabularies to organize information

28. ReMetCa’s choice
OWL Full
Double Ontology system combined
General ontology – for interoperability
purposes
Poetry ontology – specific for Castilian
poetry problems
