Wayang Purwa Ontology Dataset

The dataset represents structured knowledge about Wayang Purwa characters and related cultural heritage entities, using an OWL-based semantic-web representation. The ontology covers character identity, character groups, places of residence or origin, kingdoms, titles, heirlooms, supernatural abilities, skills, duties, character traits, and kinship relations. The dataset was developed from manually reviewed printed references and organized into machine-processable semantic data. The primary references used for knowledge acquisition were: 1) Mengenal Wayang Kulit Purwa: Wujud, Karakter dan Kisahnya; 2) Anatomi Wayang Kulit Purwa; and 3) Mengenal Gambar Tokoh Wayang Purwa dan Keterangannya. These references were used to identify relevant character names, attributes, family relations, places, titles, heirlooms, supernatural abilities, and descriptive information that were later transformed into ontology-ready entities and assertions. The dataset uses a cognitive approach to knowledge organization: Wayang Purwa entities are represented not as isolated records, but as concepts connected through meaningful categories, attributes, and relations. This structure supports user-oriented exploration, for example, by retrieving characters through genealogy, residence, title, heirloom, supernatural ability, or descriptive attribute.
