Study on Establishing an Ontology Platform of Modern Dancers’ Dance Works Based on CIDOC CRM

As a famous representative dance theatre of Taiwanese modern dance, the Cloud Gate has laid a profound contribution to the development of modern dance in Taiwan. However, apart from the digital archives of the Cloud Gate, other relevant records are extremely rare; as a result, it is difficult to conduct research based on the open data. This study collects the data from the digital archives of the Cloud Gate, combines Internet resources, and primarily uses the CIDOC CRM ontology for establishing the ontology of modern dances created by modern dancers. In addition to CIDOC CRM, Schema.org is employed as an expansion of the metadata fields. As a result, this study has established 12 classes, 46 properties, 248 instances, and 467 relations. Through the feature of linked data, more information about the Cloud Gate on the Internet is aggregated and connected, and their relationship with each other is further established through semantic relations. The tools used in the established platform include Protégé, Django, TimelineJS, D3.js, RDFLib, Apache Jena Fuseki.
