Description

A semantic digital scholarly edition of Paolo Bufalini's notebook, Appunti 1981-1991, aimed to enhance the complex network of intratextual and intertextual relations which characterizes the notebook. A project of the Department of Classical Philology and Italian Studies (FICLIT) and of the Digital Humanities Advanced Research Centre (/DH.ARC) of the University of Bologna. The primary aims of the edition are to identify, analyse and enhance the intratextual and extratextual relations – otherwise implicit, given the private nature of the notebook – which characterize the texts of the Appunti. The results are presented as a knowledge graph where nodes represent the entities of the edition (quotes, comments, translations, authors, works, people, places, etc.) and arcs represent different types of relations between such entities. The graph is formalized using Semantic Web and Linked Open Data (LOD) technologies: from a network of documents, the edition becomes a network of entities which are univocally identified by means of URIs and interconnected through typed links, which are also identified by means of URIs.
