Reading the archive as a knowledge graph
Focused studies that follow a single poem or theme through its network of contexts: the interpretive links, typed against shared vocabularies, that RPPA is built from. Each study is independent research; ratified findings feed the live graph.
“Minha terra tem palmeiras”
Gonçalves Dias’s Canção do Exílio (1846) and the eighty-eight nineteenth-century poems that answer it, read as a network of imitation, parody, homage and elegy across the Portuguese-speaking world.
Case Study 01 of a planned series. The method generalises to any author or theme.
A tool chain surfaces the candidates; a pipeline then classifies each candidate, its relation, its motifs, and proposes the equivalence-and-difference rationale for human review.
A further adversarial pass asks whether each link is real at all. Weak or oblique cases are held back rather than asserted; what survives is shown with its confidence and its evidence.
Every relation, motif and mode binds to a shared SKOS vocabulary, so that an expert-ratified context promotes into the live RPPA graph on approval.
