Although the Internet, as an ubiquitous medium for communication,
publication and research, already significantly influenced the way
historians work, the capabilities of the Web as a direct medium for
collaboration in historic research are not much explored. We report
about the application of an adaptive, semantics-based knowledge engineering
approach for the development of a prosopographical knowledge base
on the Web - the Catalogus Professorum Lipsiensis. In order to enable
historians to collect, structure and publish prosopographical knowledge
an ontology was developed and knowledge engineering facilities based
on the semantic data wiki OntoWiki were implemented. The resulting
knowledge base contains information about more than 14.000 entities
and is tightly interlinked with the emerging Web of Data. For access
and exploration by other historians a number of access interfaces
were developed, such as a visual SPARQL query builder, a relationship
finder and a Linked Data interface. The approach is transferable
to other prosopographical research projects and historical research
in general, thus improving the collaboration in historic research
communities and facilitating the reusability of historic research
results.
