This paper argues for using methods and tools of Network Analysis (NA) to study contents knowledge graphs (KG) in Digital Humanities (DH) research. As a case study, social correspondence networks the Grand Duchy Finland 1809–1917 are considered with focus on prosopographical data about historical people and, particular, their correspondences (epistolary data). Letters have been an important form communication, based letter metadata, letter’s content, related biographical information can be...
The Second World War (WW2) is arguably the most devastating catastrophe of human history, a topic great interest to not only researchers but general public. However, data about heterogeneous and distributed in various organizations countries making it hard utilize. In order create aggregated global views war, shared ontology infrastructure needed harmonize information silos. This makes possible share between publishers application developers, support analysis Digital Humanities research,...
Biographical collections are available on the Web for close reading. However, underlying texts can also be used data analysis and distant reading, if documents as data. Such is usable creating intelligent user interfaces to biographical data, including Digital Humanities tooling visualizations, analysis, knowledge discovery in prosopographical research. In this paper, we re-use collection from a historiographical perspective analyzing collection. For example: What kind of people have been...
This paper presents the vision of publishing and utilizing textual biographies as Linked (Open) Data on Semantic Web. As a case study, we publish live stories National Biography Finland, created by Finnish Literature Society, semantic, i.e., machine “understandable” metadata in SPARQL endpoint using Finland (LDF.fi) service. On top data service various Digital Humanities applications are built. The include searching studying individual personal histories well historical research groups...
This paper presents a new infrastructure and semantic portal called ParliamentSampo for studying parliamentary speeches, culture, language, activities in Finland. For the first time, entire time series of some million plenary speeches Parliament Finland (PoF) since 1907 have been converted from text into knowledge graphs data services unified formats, including CSV, Parla-CLARIN, ParlaMint, RDF Linked Open Data (LOD). The speech interlinked with semi-automatically created ontology graph...
The Finnish registries “Ylioppilasmatrikkeli” 1640–1852 and 1853–1899 contain detailed biographical data about virtually every academic person in Finland during the respective time periods. This paper presents first results on transforming these into a Linked Open Data service using FAIR principles. is based student of University Helsinki, formerly Royal Academy Turku, that have been digitized, transliterated, enriched with additional people from various other registries. Our goal to...
This paper introduces the system ParliamentSampo – Parliament of Finland on Semantic Web, a Linked Open Data (LOD) service, data infrastructure, and semantic portal for studying Finnish political culture, language, networks Members (MP). The article presents vision behind system, LOD explores possibilities to utilize it in research application development. A knowledge graph linked has been created based ca. 962 000 speeches all plenary sessions 1907—2021; is also available XML format,...
