Knowledge Representation
Now that all of the data has been described and represented in various models and maps, we can return to the items themselves and create some new semantic data on them in a Knowledge Representation process: through data description tables, creation of URIs and RDF formalization and visualization.
Data description
At this step, we described the ten chosen items, following our conceptual model, in a series of triples-based tables. Each of the tables indeed reports the subjects, predicates and objects most suited to describe the items’ features and the main events related to their creation and description. Having all of this information in tabular format, we were able to analyze and compare it more clearly.

RDF production
In order to better represent the diversity of our chosen items, we chose three items coming from different categories, which we found most illustrative of our domain.
After this, we created URIs in order to describe our entities regarding the items and wrote RDF triples using a turtle serialization. In particular we decided to focus on The selfish Gene, the Saint Olga painting and the video showing the journalist Marina Ovsyannikova interrupting the evening news program on Russian state television. Where possible, we tried to find the links of the items and their related entities from relevant sources and authorities on the web (such as Getty AAT, wikidata).
