An Ontology for the Philosophy of Early Middle Ages

One of the main assumptions of Open Culture is to provide digital tools that might increase the opportunities to share information on cultural heritage. Philosophy, we claim, is an important part of such a common background. In this context, the purpose of OPhEMA project is to develop an IT ontology that facilitates processes of browsing and searching annotated texts in order to define the meaning (if any) of philosophy in the Early Middle Ages. The poster is meant to show the preliminary steps of the project, namely: a literature review aimed at identifying the occurrences of "philosophia", the creation of an (Open Access) Google Sheets file systematizing all the occurrences, and the design of an IT ontology referred to the Philosophy of the Early Middle Ages which combines such data.
