The project and the event

For its relevance for the contemporary history and for the place where we all study, the Bologna massacre was chosen as the object of our project work. We started from the acknowledgment of the domain and through many steps we arrived to a comprehension of it suitable to represent our idea, items and entities in the Linked Open Data environment.

Study of the domain

10 items.
Ten artefacts have been selected in order to describe this tragic event. All of them are unique.
They offer 10 different perspectives, 10 different ways to look at that event: its causes, its consequencies and its protagonists, in their different roles.

Knowledge organization

Elaboration of a model.
The items describing the event are objects interconnected at different levels rather than independent. Together, they are able to provide a unique and, at the same time, complete vision of the event.
All the different perspectives are connected in a conceptual network which allows a deep comprehension of the phenomenon in all its aspects.
Throughout different steps, it is possible to visualise all these levels of connection: from a basic entity/relation model, towards the standard analysis, to a well-thought-out conceptual model.

Knowledge representation

Data creation.
The last and most profound level of description of the items is their representation through a RDF.
In this way the attention is focused on the metadata level in order to show the most profound connection between all the entities of this domain.
Moreover this language, ideated to allow information exchange on the web, gives to these items the possibility to be in connection with all the items, located on the web, related to this topic.
