Abstract

This study aims to develop a semantic web application that maps geographic locations in Machado de Assis's works, storing them in a triplestore. By integrating data from machadodeassis.net encyclopedia with geographic coordinates from Geonames.org and GoogleMaps, the project offers an interactive map-based reading experience, supporting the spatial references made by the writer in the 19th century. Using the Python library BeautifulSoup, the application extracts citations, structures them according to schema.org parameters, and submits them to gpt3.5-instruct and gpt4-turbo models to identify current names and classifications of these locations as per Geonames.org ontology. Finally, SPARQL queries are made to dados.literaturabrasileira.ufsc.br to obtain unique identifiers for each book, integrating maps, citations, and full texts in line with Linked Data standards.

CNPq research productivity funder for 9 years and CNPq and FAPESP research aid fund holder. My research focuses on the application of Web technologies, especially the Semantic Web, on problems in the Biomedical and Bioinformatics area to allow the interpretation of biomedical data by machines. Recently I have collaborated with BMIR-Stanford University with semantic annotation of medical images and with INPA/Embrapa in annotation and semantic search of data on biodiversity. I have more than 20 years of experience in computer research and engineering: distributed client/server and Web applications, including technologies such as Web services, ontologies (Semantic Web OWL) and the languages C, C++, Clojure and Java in Linux, Windows and Mac . Management of research laboratories in the area.
