XIA Cuijuan, LIU Wei, CHEN Tao & ZHANG Lei / A genealogy data services platform implemented with linked data technologies 089

queried and accessed by RDF query language SPARDL.Jene, as the development tool, is utilized
to process RDF data. A variety of tools such as SIMILE Timemap, Baidu Echarts, AutoNavi
map is utilized to realize the visual display of data. All the development framework is shown in

2.4 System functions designed for bibliographical control , knowledge discovery and
knowledge evolution

There are three important functions to be considerate while the platform was designed. Firstly, we
need to meet library needs for functions of bibliographic control and data sharing, including the
full presentation to the editions, copies, and collection organizations of a certain kind of genealogy
and the authority control of a variety of content entities, as well as the data consumption interface
used for data reuse and sharing. Secondly, the knowledge discovery function oriented to the
general public and researchers in humanities needs to be designed, including retrieval function
based on conceptual matching as well as the visualized browse function based on the associated
relationships between person, place, institution, and time. Thirdly, the knowledge evolution
function should be developed. This function supports users to make modification and supplement
on the pre-existing data, and save, organize and process this knowledge.

2.4.1 Bibliographic control
The requirement of genealogy bibliographic control is supported by BIBFRAME core data model
(Work-Instance-Item). But in reality, it needs to be further simplified according to the concrete
requirements of genealogical description. If strictly practicing the definition of BIBFRAME, the
relationship between the entity relational model of work-instance-item is 1: n and 1: n, i.e. 1 work
