Explore a Zubir Said Knowledge Graph & Visualization
Version 1 launched in July 2021: https://ZubirSaid.sg
The project seeks to develop a knowledge graph and visualization interface for the Zubir Said digital archive collection – as an example of applying knowledge graph technologies to digital heritage/archive content.
Zubir Said was the composer of the Singapore national anthem and a pioneer songwriter in Singapore. The knowledge graph represents materials and content in Zubir Said’s personal archive as a network of concepts to support visualization, associative browsing, and research.
Starting with a Musical Work (e.g., Majulah Singapura), compare different versions and arrangements (Music Score), check out different Performances, and view the related Item (audio/video/image/PDF file). Browse a social network of people with links to Zubir Said. Or Browse by genre – photos, letters, speeches, documents, commentary, news, documentaries.
A text-based browse interface is also available.
Thank you for sharing this interesting project! It’s truly fascinating to see how knowledge graph technologies are being applied to digital heritage and archive content. Zubir Said’s contributions to Singapore’s national anthem and songwriting are invaluable, and this knowledge graph will undoubtedly provide a valuable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike. The ability to explore different versions and arrangements of his musical work, along with related performances and materials, is a fantastic way to delve deeper into his legacy. Kudos to the team behind this initiative!
