结构化人相学提供了一个表示人相学的正式模型：历史研究的一个分支，传统上专注于识别出现在历史资料中的人。自20世纪90年代以来，KCL的数字人文部门一直参与结构化的人学数据库的开发，使用一般的“面向事实”的结构模型，通过断言信息的主要来源中的点将人们与有关他们的信息联系起来。最近的发展，特别是万维网，及其相关技术的语义网，促进了可能性，以互连分散的数据，并允许它被查询语义。为了使我们的prosopographical数据库在语义网上，在这篇文章中，我们回顾了我们建立的基于事实的模型背后的原则，并重新制定它使用一个更具互操作性的方法，基于知识表示原则和正式的本体。特别是，我们将主要集中在一个高层次的语义分析的事实的概念，它与其他文化遗产标准，如CIDOC-CRM的关系，并提出的解决方案的模块化和可扩展性。
Structured Prosopography provides a formal model for representing prosopography: a branch of historical research that traditionally has focused on the identification of people that appear in historical sources. Since the 1990s, KCL’s Department of Digital Humanities has been involved in the development of structured prosopographical databases using a general ‘factoid-oriented’ model of structure that links people to the information about them via spots in primary sources that assert that information. Recent developments, particularly the World Wide Web, and its related technologies around the Semantic Web, have promoted the possibility to both interconnecting dispersed data, and allowing it to be queried semantically. To the purpose of making available our prosopographical databases on the Semantic Web, in this article we review the principles behind our established factoid-based model and reformulate it using a more interoperable approach, based on knowledge representation principles and formal ontologies. In particular, we are going to focus primarily on a high-level semantic analysis of the factoid notion, on its relation to other cultural heritage standards such as CIDOC-CRM, and on the modularity and extensibility of the proposed solutions.
