PROSO: prosopographic records

Abstract

We present PROSO, a reference model for the storage, use, publication and sharing of prosopographic records. PROSO is composed of three parts: a conceptual model, an XML serialization and a GRDDL transformation to RDF. The conceptual model is meant to provide researchers with a common vocabulary and conceptual organization to use while collecting and discussing the data; the XML serialization is used to transmit data across projects and independent parts of the same project; the GRDDL transformation is used to publish the records as Linked Data datasets using current ontologies and schemas.
