Abstract

Il catalogo digitale di manoscritti medievali gestito dal Progetto IRNERIO è ricco di materiale di interesse legale, culturale e storico difficilmente accessibile e separato rispetto a contenuti esterni ad esso rilevanti. Questo articolo introduce un'ontologia chiamata Medieval Manuscripts Ontology (MeMO) e sviluppata per modellare questi manoscritti in modo da permettere agli studiosi di rappresentare, identificare, analizzare ed estrarre le informazioni in essi contenute. MeMO è stata sviluppata seguendo una metodologia robusta e agile, in modo da rispettare i requisiti richiesti dall'esperto di dominio (la preservazione della narrazione storica, la rappresentazione del contesto e la descrizione della collezione dei testi). MeMO, inoltre, è flessibile e riccamente documentata in modo da essere facilmente riusabile e estendibile in possibili scenari futuri. Quindi MeMO permette di modellare le risorse del Progetto IRNERIO con termini precisi per evitare una perdita di informazioni e supportare una miglior rappresentazione delle complessità concettuali che caratterizzano la collezione.
