To enhance the potential for diachronic investigation of the LiLa knowledge base for Latin, we present gazetteers of authors and works documented therein. Those include 173 authors and 539 works, covering a time span from the 3rd century BCE up to present-day ecclesiastical Latin. Items in the gazetteers are linked to their identifiers in other knowledge bases (e.g., Wikidata). A model is proposed to allow for the coding in RDF of chronological information for different objects (authors and works) and at different levels of granularity (e.g., the exact publication date of a work or the life span of its author).

Abstract
To enhance the potential for diachronic investigation of the LiLa knowledge base for Latin, we present gazetteers of authors and works documented therein. Those include 173 authors and 539 works, covering a time span from the 3rd century BCE up to present-day ecclesiastical Latin. Items in the gazetteers are linked to their identifiers in other knowledge bases (e.g., Wikidata). A model is proposed to allow for the coding in RDF of chronological information for different objects (authors and works) and at different levels of granularity (e.g., the exact publication date of a work or the life span of its author).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
