about Leonardi.DB

The Leuven Ontology for Aristotelian Diagrams (Leonardi) is an ontology for systematically describing the logical, geometrical and stylistic properties of Aristotelian diagrams. Leonardi.DB is a linked data store of Aristotelian diagrams, based on this ontology. The Leonardi ontology and database are being developed and maintained as part of the Logical Geometry research program.

development

The development of Leonardi.DB was funded initially through the KU Leuven C1 research project 3H180236 (2018-2022), and subsequently through the ERC Starting Grant STARTDIALOG (2022-2027). The project team consists of Lorenz Demey, Hans Smessaert, Wouter Termont (2018-2020) and Sam Lauriers, with the following division of labor:

• development of the ontology: Lorenz, Hans and Wouter
• technical implementation: Wouter
• data input and annotation: Lorenz and Sam
• daily maintenance: Lorenz
