This demonstrator, which uses Sparnatural, a visual SPARQL query editor, is the result of an exploratory work on the transition from archival metadata to data graphs, following the projects of qualitative proof of concept PIAAF (released in February 2018) and development of the RiC-O Converter software (version 1.0 released in April 2020). The main challenge of the project was to provide users with a relevant and accessible research interface to explore an archival metadata graph of significant size, which exploits its nature. Through this prototype, built with Sparnatural, you can query a knowledge graph created from a part of the metadata describing the archives of Paris notaries kept at the French national Archives. These metadata have been semantized according to the ontology Records In Contexts (RiC-O), which has been slightly extended. The prototype is composed of two research interfaces. Interface A offers a simple and general exploration interface in this metadata, which could be used for other archival metadata. Interface B offers an exploration interface in these metadata based on the specificities of notarial archives. Note that the IRIs of RDF resources are currently not dereferenceable.
