Representing Complex Knowledge for Exploration and Recommendation: The Case of Classical Music Information

In Digital Humanities, one of the main challenge consists in capturing the structure of complex information in data models and ontologies, in particular when connections between terms are not trivial. This is typically the case for librarian music data. In this chapter, we provide some good practices for representing complex knowledge using the DOREMUS ontology as an exemplary case. We also show various applications of a Knowledge Graph leveraging on the ontology, ranging from an exploratory search engine, a recommender system and a conversational agent enabling to answer classical music questions.
