RDF

Here we come to the final step of our project. Thanks to RDF, that enables data to be described through a statement of Subject - Predicate - Object, we moved from information to knowledge.
We have chosen the items more suitable for creating significant relationships, the more emblematic objects for framing the event itself: the two reports made by Human Rights Watch about the Scorpion Prison and the Egyptian regime of Al-Sisi (primary focus); the building of Tora Prison; the Resolution signed by the European Parliament and the Petition by Scholars at Risk. Some entities linked to our items are here described for the first time, like the Government of Al-sisi, the organizations of Human Rights Watch and Scholars at Risk, and the figure of Patrick Zaki.
We composed our RDF data following the schema of Turtle for its clarity. Thus, we populated the graph with the new URIs. The catalogues of entities and relationships provided by DBpedia, Worldcat, VIAF and Wikidata helped us to connect our items to the material already available on the Semantic Web. Finally, we created a visual representation of the RDF graph: each triple is represented by a node - arc - node link.
