Modelling Knowledge for the PAVES-e Project: a Formal Ontology of Cesare Pavese’s Work

This paper describes the OntoPavese ontology developed as part of the PAVES-e project. OntoPavese is a large- sized ontology that takes care of various aspects of Cesare Pavese’s works; it implements different representation levels of Pavese’s production items, along with a number of other related features dealing with such entities as temporal events, persons and places. An ad hoc created WEB tool–OntoPavesePathExplorer–is also described that allows to visually explore individual relationships defined within the ontology.
