Linked Potter

Ontlogy and knowledge base of metadata extracted from AO3 fanfiction related to Harry Potter.

– 2020 –

Using user-generated tags extracted from fanfiction stories (Archive of Our Own), I created an ontology to categorise the various metadata used by authors. I also created a knowledge base by linking the ontology with all the 30,000 unique tags used in Harry Potter fanfiction stories.
