This website is a demo. It does not show the final system, but a preview of what will be possible. The aim is to give you an idea of what can be done: how archaeological information can be described, connected and explored using a Knowledge Graph, a Vocabulary and a demo Chatbot to query the data.
The Knowledge Graph organizes information about cemeteries, tombs, graves, burials, objects, and human remains. You can explore this information in two ways:
Type the name or identifier of an entity (for example, a cemetery code like C3 or a tomb number like T70). Results will appear in a list. Clicking one opens its details.
Start from a cemetery, then move step by step to see its tombs, the graves inside, the burials in each grave, and finally the objects or human remains they contain. Dropdown menus and a breadcrumb line help you follow the path.
When you select an entity, a detail page appears with:
Some terms are shown as colored badges. They are clickable links and redirect the user to the related ontology (classes and properties) or to the terms of the Vocabulary.
While exploring the Knowledge Graph, you can also interact with a chatbot window that appears at the bottom right of the page. The chatbot helps you navigate the sample data by asking questions in natural language or using quick suggestions. In addition, the website includes a dedicated Chatbot page, accessible from the main navigation menu, which offers the same functionality in its own tab. For more details about the chatbot functionalities, see the section Chatbot below.
The Vocabulary lists and explains all the categories used in the graph. It helps you understand the meaning of terms such as Grave, Burial, Object, or Human Remains. Whenever you see a green badge in the Knowledge Graph, you can click it to read the full definition here.
The Chatbot let you ask questions in natural language and get answers directly from the Knowledge Graph. You can try a demo version with predefined answers.
