BookSampo is a joint project between the Finnish public libraries and semantic
web researchers, to improve fiction literature search and recommendation. In the
project, dozens of librarians around Finland have used a collaborative web-based metadata editor
to input diverse knowledge about fiction literature into a shared database.
Particularly, the project has sought to improve access by indexing not only
bibliographical information about the books, but focusing on the content and
context of the works. In order to do this, the database employs advanced
techniques such as functional, content-centered indexing, ontological
vocabularies and the networked data model of linked open data. To demonstrate
the functionality this makes possible, the fiction literature portal
http://www.kirjasampo.fi/ was created. This portal uses the knowledge created in the project to offer advanced semantic search and
recommendation based on the database created. In addition, web services exposing
direct access to the data have been used for example in culture hack events
to answer more complex questions, such as where in Finland are the most crimes
committed in fiction literature.
