Designed with the goals to describe and encode the core dramatic qualities and to serve as a knowledge base underlying a number of applications, Drammar is a comprehensive ontology of drama, realized through a collaboration of computer scientists and drama scholars. It makes the knowledge about drama available as a vocabulary for the linked interchange of drama encodings and readily usable by automatic reasoners.
By avoinding references to style and artistic qualities Drammar aims at representing the elements shared by different, cross-media manifestations of drama, the so–called intangible elements of drama as an intangible cultural heritage form. @en
