Drama heritage: prototype of a corpus

摘要

This paper concerns the release of a drama heritage corpus prototype. The approach relies on an ontological representation of the intangible dramatic qualities, those elements of a drama that abstract from the linguistic or medium expression. A toolkit for the friendly encoding of the dramatic qualities overcomes the difficulties of the formal representation. The corpus prototype of selected fragments as well as complete dramas is introduced, together with a discussion on the future perspectives of the resource.
