This paper presents updates on the OntoVE_WrittenRecords module presented during the annual AIUCD Conference in 2023. The module was conceived within the OntoVE project, which aims to collect Germanic Cultural Heritage items related to Veneto; more specifically, the module presented in this contribution conceptualizes the description of imperial diplomas issued by rulers of Germanic origin and related to Veneto. The module reused initially FRBRoo and was updated to LRMoo; it furthermore merges the LRMoo ontology with Bibframe. Moreover, a User Interface for the visualization and exploration of the dataset has been implemented. The main contribution of the paper consists in the alignment between domain ontologies and in the conceptualization of a model that makes explicit the connections between the contents, the places and the actors involved in imperial diplomas.
