Semantic Kalevala
Linked Data Finland
★★★★★
The folklore service contains initially Semantic Kalevala, the RDF version fo the Finnish national epic with rich even-based annotations using FinnONTO ontologies. Annotations of all 50 poems of the "New Kalevala" are included totalling some 30,000 RDF triples. Since 1841 Kalevala has been translaten into ca. 60 human languages; Semantic Kalevala is the first translation of the epic for the machines to enjoy, too!
The dataset was created by SeCo in collaboration with the Finnish Literature Society. The research behind this work is described at the Semantic Kalevala project page. We plan to add other folklore data into the Linked Open Folklore service later.
Semantic Kalevala is in use in the CultureSampo portal as a thematic view.

Human Use Case 1: Viewing the RDF Description of a URI
Human Use Case 2: Linked Data Browsing Starting from a URI
Machine Use Case: Getting the RDF Description of a Resource
If the URI is dereferenceable, e.g., minted at the http://ldf.fi domain, just input the URI in a browser or use it in your favourite software. For example: URI=http://ldf.fi/finlex/laki/p35. If the URI is described in this LDF service you can use the URI template http://ldf.fi/SERVICE/data?uri=URI no matter whether the URI is dereferenceable or not: just input the URI in the form below:
SPARQL Endpoint: http://ldf.fi/folklore/sparql

SPARQL Service Description
Get the description in RDF. (Notice: A service description is not available for all datasets - then empty description is returned. If you open the link in browser you are directed to a SPARQL query form instead of the RDF description. You can access the service description by making an HTTP query without an Accept header (e.g. curl).) LDF uses W3C SPARQL Service Description recommendation for this.Visualization
