IMAGO OWL: Latin Geographical Literature Knowledge Graph, 6th-15th Centuries

The IMAGO Knowledge Graph represents data about Latin geographical literature from the 6th to the 15th centuries. It was developed by the IMAGO project (2020–2024) and contains information on works, authors, libraries, and literary genres. The 4.8 MB graph is available in RDF/XML and Turtle formats, including a version with inferred triples.

Use Cases

• Semantic querying and exploration of medieval Latin works based on the RDF graph structure.
• Reasoning over relationships between authors, manuscripts, and libraries using the inferred triples.
• Analysis of literary genres and their connections within Latin geographical literature.
• Integration into digital archives or research platforms for enhanced data interoperability.

Strengths

• Based on a formal IMAGO Ontology, providing a structured semantic framework.
• Includes an extended version with triples inferred by the Openllet reasoner.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 4.8 MB size suggests a relatively small-scale knowledge graph.
