This site provides access to the ontologies developed by the Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory documented in English with partial French translation, a growing set of Linked Open Data data generated by CWRC accessible via download and queryable through a SPARQL endpoint, and guidance on how to run SPARQL queries.
A parallel dataset using the CIDOC-CRM ontology is being produced as part of the Linked Infrastructure for Networked Cultural Scholarship. If you are looking to use some of our terms for linked data and prefer a SKOS vocabulary to an OWL ontology, many of them are available in the LINCS vocabularies.
