| Sumario: | Objective: This study aims to develop a semantic web application that maps geographic locations in the works of Machado de Assis, storing them in a triplestore. By integrating data from the MachadodeAssis.net encyclopedia with geographic coordinates from Geonames.org and GoogleMaps, the project aims to offer a reading experience through interactive maps that support the spatial references made by the writer throughout the 19th century. Methods: The Python library BeautifulSoup is used for querying and collecting data from the encyclopedia, structuring it according to schema.org parameters. The collected citations are submitted to the gpt3.5-instruct and gpt4-turbo models to obtain the current names of the locations and the proper classification of these spaces according to the Geonames.org ontology. SPARQL queries are performed on the dados.literaturabrasileira.ufsc.br portal to obtain unique identifiers for each book. Results: The application offers an integration between maps, citations, and full texts, in line with Linked Data standards. Conclusions: The intersection of technology, literature, and geolocation can offer interesting reading experiences, providing fertile ground for the development of so-called digital humanities. |
