Abstract

Two short presentations and the source code of a small demo given at the Atelier Heloïse Workshop on interoperability 2014. The workshop was called to discuss proposals in models and solutions to enable an efficient data exchange between several European projects on Historical Academic Prosopographic Databases. On behalf of the CRR-MM, I proposed some solutions based on the PROSO data model for prosopographies, extending said model into an ontology and thus exposing the data from each project as RDF triples. Aside from the general presentation on possible solutions, a SPARQL endpoint was prepared for an interactive demo. The triplestore was loaded with a sample dataset taking into account several of the peculiarities of the participating projects, and some sample queries on said data were prepared.
