ABSTRACT

In this article, we illustrate some of the semantic web-related technologies and design a set of ontology knowledge structures based on biographical history, using the OWL markup language, which we call BKOnto. This is an official framework for processing biographical history-related messages on the semantic web, including biographical events, time and space relationships, related personal messages, and more. We elaborate on this ontology knowledge architecture and explain how to use BKOnto as a basis for more domain-specific knowledge representation. In BKOnto, we use the OWL language to define the main components of the cognitive structure of the historical body of biography, namely the Storyline of the biography and the historical event of the biography. The so-called biographical story line, which is used to organize the history of multiple biographical superstructure, can be used to describe the biography of a particular person. The so-called biographical historical events, based on the historical data can be based on the description of the content and related space-time factor description of the basic unit. BKOnto's design was based on the StoryLine and Event infrastructure, and then we developed the ontology knowledge building system based on this ontology awareness architecture. Therefore, we also developed a set of ontology knowledge building system based on BKOnto, which is called StoryTeller. The StoryTeller system can be used to construct relevant knowledge of human things in the history of the biography and form a complete biographical story. StoryTeller system, mainly based on the story line organized by the timeline, which contains a number of types and events related to multiple human things as the basic unit to build the story line. The event unit not only describes the description of related human affairs, but also contains the description of time factor and space factor, which is used to construct the space-time information of the unit in the story line. As a result, in a story line with multiple event units, you will be able to present a wealth of information about people and things with their associated spatiotemporal features. In addition, based on the idea of supporting the digital collection system, we also linked up individual event units with the digital collection system of their information sources so that more diverse digital collections could be presented in the future. The empirical study also uses the Mackay Digital Archives Project (http://dlm.csie.au.edu.tw/) as a source of information to demonstrate the ontology knowledge building process of Mackay's biographical stories, as well as related Digital collection of information.
