Un’ontologia per il patrimonio culturale teatrale su Wikibase.cloud

The paper focuses on the innovative “Hyperstage” knowledge base ontology model for the semantic reconstruction of Italian theatrical productions. Innovation combines (1) a bottom-up ontology on Wikibase.cloud for the organization and valorization of metadata with (2) an integrated PKB taxonomy based on the three different categories of a) conception, b) staging, and c) post-production documentation. This framework allows automatic aggregation of each digital object associated with the theatrical production into one of these phases. The project aims to transcend the traditional limits of theatrical data models through a system of ontological hierarchical relationships to trace the evolutionary path of works and identify influences and connections between different productions.
