Analysis of Family Relationships of the Characters in the SrpELTeC Corpus Based on Semantic Web Techniques and Textometry.

This paper presents an analysis of family relationships of characters in the SrpELTeC collection of Serbian novels published between 1840 and 1920, using a textometric approach and semantic web techniques. The study explores the appearance of family relationships between literary characters in the corpus in regards to the periods in which the novels were written, as well as to the authors of the novels. Taking into account the overlap between the literary movements of Romanticism and Realism during the aforementioned periods, the analysis examines in which direction family relationships are more prevalent, and whether male characters are more represented than female characters in the collection. Visualizations of the relationships between characters are presented through linking the characters with novels in Wikidata and by expressing SPARQL queries, as well as through the network analysis using the Gephi tool.
