  abstract = {This paper presents an application for studying the death
    records of WW2 casualties from a prosopograhical perspective, provided
    by the various local military cemeteries where the dead were buried. The
    idea is to provide the end user with a global visual map view on the
    places in which the casualties were buried as well as with a local historical
    perspective on what happened to the casualties that lay within a
    particular cemetery of a village or town. Plenty of data exists about the
    Second World War (WW2), but the data is typically archived in unconnected,
    isolated silos in different organizations. This makes it difficult
    to track down, visualize, and study information that is contained within
    multiple distinct datasets. In our work, this problem is solved using aggregated
    Linked Open Data provided by the WarSampo Data Service
    and SPARQL endpoint.},
