Abstract

mythLOD dataset is the result of the reengineering process of Mythologiae collection (https://mythologiae.unibo.it/), transforming it from a conventional tabular format (CSV format) into a knowledge graph (RDF format). The mythLOD knowledge graph served online along with its technical documentation, catalogue visualisation and a storytelling experiment to encourage exploration and reuse. Specifically, mythLOD preserves the artwork’s descriptive metadata and a set of interpretations performed by the scholars. Each interpretation identifies a mythological theme or scene depicted in an artwork of the collection and associates a curated set of literary references that convey the same theme. The dataset, in RDF format, contains 4260 heterogeneous artefacts, their descriptive metadata and the scholars’ interpretations using Nanopublications and Named Graphs.
