Abstract

History shows that different events occur every day in the world. In the past, knowledge of these events could only be orally transmitted from generation to generation due to a lack of appropriate technology. Currently, vast amounts of valuable historical information rests in deteriorated historical newspapers, which result very difficult to deal with. In this work, we use text digitization, text mining, and Semantic Web technologies to generate a knowledge graph comprising events occurred in Ecuador in the XIX-XX centuries.
