Text and ontology Henry III Fine Rolls Project (Ciula, Viera: “Complementing and extending TEI documents with an ontology”. TEI Members Meeting 2008) TEI XML • Physical and logical structure • Semantic content RDF/OWL ontology • Network of associations • Additional statements and interpretative layers <pers. Name key="ashford_de_william">William de <place. Name key="ashford 1">Ashford</place. Name> </pers. Name> <rs key="abjuration" type="subject">on the day he abjured the kingdom<pers. Name key="rumberue_de_thomas">Thomas de <place. Namekey="rumberue">Rumberue</place. Name></pers. Name></rs> Digital Humanities Dr. Øyvind Eide

Ontology/ies • What is ontology? – The study of being • What are ontologies? – Shared conceptualisations expressed in formal languages • TEI and ontologies – TEI can express ontological information – TEI documents are based on an ontology of the encoded text – TEI as a whole is not one ontology Digital Humanities Dr. Øyvind Eide

Connecting TEI to ontologies • P 4: names could be connected to external resources • P 4: feature structures • P 5: names can be connected as in P 4 • P 5: names can be connected via a representation of the named object, typically in the header • Where is the link (to an external ontology) in the markup of the text? • Where does it point – which document? – which formalism? Digital Humanities Dr. Øyvind Eide

Turn around: CIDOC-CRM to TEI • A TEI document, or a fragment thereof, can be modelled as a CIDOC-CRM conceptual object • This can be used to explicitly document elements of the CIDOC-CRM model Digital Humanities Dr. Øyvind Eide
