The proliferation of research projects that enter the field of digital humanities goes hand in hand with a proliferation of digital tools, their uses and the availability of data. To organize the chaos of digital traces generated by these practices, the scientific community is working to standardize the formalization of information, notably through the establishment of common languages (TEI, RDF, etc.) and through the creation of accessible and interoperable reference databases (see section 5.1.2.5). In this context, it is fundamental that the work of researchers is able to enrich these databases as simply as possible, without adding additional processing chains that can lead to errors and worse, misuse of the researcher’s interpretation. Based on the numerous experiments carried out in this field [JUA 10, LAT 12, GAL 14, TER 15, SZO 15], we propose developing a platform based on long-term references (DBpedia, BnF data, ISNI, symogih, etc.) to provide researchers with the means to graphically model their interpretations. Once modeled, these interpretations are able ...
