Notebook
Notebook: HCAI_Lab_Knowledge_Representation.ipynb (Work in Google Colab or download the .ipynb file to local environment)
Work in groups of 2-4. Every group member must be able to explain the results.
Challenge
Work in groups of 2-4 to curate a small digital exhibition using cultural heritage data from Wikidata.
Choose your own theme and audience, then adapt the SPARQL templates from the starter notebook to find suitable objects. Your query should use at least two meaningful relationships, such as:
artwork -> creator -> place of birth artwork -> collection -> museum location artwork -> depicts -> person or place
Select 5-10 exhibits and justify their inclusion. Do not accept every query result automatically. Identify at least one rejected, ambiguous, surprising, or potentially missing object.
Next, change one modelling decision and compare the results. How did the selected graph path affect the exhibition? Which version better matches your theme and audience? What does each representation reveal or hide?
Start the challenge during the lab and continue it as part of the self-study regarding classes. Selected groups may share their exhibitions and modelling choices at the next lab, and effective solutions may receive bonus points.
