Building Knowledge Graphs from a stoics's dairy

Abstract

"OntoMeditations" is a Knowledge Representation and Knowledge Extraction (KRKE) course project, made as part of the Digital Humanities and Digital Knowledge (DHDK) program of the Università di Bologna.

Engaged with Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations, a major work of Stoic philosophy, our project uses linguistic and sentiment analysis digital techniques applied to a dedicated ontology. The aim is to read and understand this rich philosophical work, as well as its iconic author-emperor-thinker-feeler, in novel ways, through digital lights.

We created an onotology for Representing the knowledge extracted from the raw text of the book which includes the different ideas and concepts discussed and made it queriable by embedding this information in a knowledge graph which was followed the logic of the onotology created.
