Abstract
In this paper, we present the Hypermedia Dante Network (HDN) project. First, we briefly introduce the relevant state of the art on Dante’s commentaries and their digital representation, and we outline the project goals. In the main section, we present the core features of the HDN ontology, an evolution of the DanteSources ontology that aims at representing knowledge about Dante’s primary sources as they are identified by a vast range of commentaries. Then, we describe the tool that has been developed to process Dante’s commentaries and populate the HDN ontology. Finally, we comment on the project’s usability and possible outcomes for both scholars and common users
