I had to miss the first day because of another commitment, but today i’m here at BibleTech:2011 and looking forward to a great day of talks. Hopefully mine will be one of them: here’s my abstract.
Using the Bible Knowledgebase for Information Integration
In 2009 I reported on the Bible Knowledgebase (BK), a machine-readable collection of semantically-organized data about people, places, and things in the Bible. This talk will describe how the BK now functions as an essential information resource for Logos, tying together information across the software. In addition, I’ll discuss the continued work on the data over the last two years, including:
- building a database of Biblical Events
- adding unnamed entities to the database
- coordinating information about these entities with the Logos Controlled Vocabulary
I’ll also present prototypes for visualizing BK data to enhance discovery and exploration in the Biblical text.
I’ll be live-blogging a few talks during the day to give a quick-take on the subject for those who can’t be here. You can also follow on Twitter via #BibleTech.
