DECM Ontology. T-AP Digging into Early Colonial Mexico Project

This document contains a tailored ontology that encompassed the complexity of Relaciones Geográficas de la Nueva España (1577-1585), resulting in twenty-one entities or categories (types of information). These entities were defined and linked to DBpedia, a semantic standard, to ensure the interoperability of our dataset. Additionally, most entities contain labels, also defined and linked to DBpedia to enrich the semantic extraction process.
