Hello, I am looking to find an ontology for annotating fiction. I'd like to be able to record both facts with annotations e.g.: HarryPotter livesAt "4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey" // Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone (biblio data...) page 1 and artistic / textual criticism notes: InfiniteJest beautifulPassage "He could just hunker down in the space between each heartbeat and make each heartbeat a wall and live in there. Not let his head look over. What’s unendurable is what his own head could make of it all." // Infinite Jest (biblio data) page ... So as to enable searches like: "How many Gryffindors played Quidditch and where were these facts recorded?" or "Who were the victims of The Entertainment in Wallace's _Infinite Jest_?" and "What are your favorite parts of _Infinte Jest_?" Questions 1. Is there an ontology for describing such relationships? I've searched and not found anything. I've searched lists <https://wiki.base22.com/btg/semantic-web-ontologies-and-vocabularies-35487842.html> of ontologies in W3C sites but have not found anything promising. 2. If it's generally agreed that I've looked well and have not found anything, then I would like to try my hand at making the ontology. This is scary. I can't really tell if I need OWL lite, OWL DL, or full OWL...and SKOS feels underpowered to my needs. 3. Granted that I need to make use an OWL technology, it seems like the right tooling is WebProtégé. I used the OSX client but it crashed when I tried to save a file and since were' just munching text, a JS-based app is probably a reasonable interface ;) 4. I was looking for steps in starting defining ontologies, but saw Maria Keets' PDF, so that might be a good start. I had the 1st ed. of Sem Web for working Ontologist but gave it up in a move and a foul mood but it might be the right time to explore it again. Thanks for any help! Steven -- Steven G. Harms
