One of my pet projects is the creation of a universal ontology for folkloristics. I know, aim high. While doing some of my due diligence today I stumbled upon an interesting article from a few years back detailing the goals of such a project.
"Use of Knowledge Technologies for Presentation of Bulgarian Folklore Heritage Semantics" by Detelin Luchev, Desislava Paneva and Konstantin Rangochev.
They mention in the article a proposed Bulgarian folklore database called FolkKnow, but a preliminary search did not unearth much about the project. I fear it might be dead on the vine, being three years since the appearance of the article. I would love to be corrected on this note.
They do present a neat flow-chart that I think nicely displays the kind of work I am attempting in the creation of my ontology. Nice work, I hope they have continued it!
Hello dear C.Franz Rahe,
ReplyDeleteThe FolkKnow project doesn't stop. You can see a prototype of the folklore digital library, available at: http://213.191.194.27/folklor/
Our team also work on a Bulgarian Iconography Digital Library, available at: http://mdl.cc.bas.bg/
Best regards,
