FiCT-O (Fictional Character Ontology) is a formal model designed to integrate various existing ontologies used in the field of Cultural Heritage, including LRMoo, FRBRoo, RDA, CIDOC-CRM, DUL, PROV-O, and SKOS. FiCT-O aims to represent the evolution of fictional characters over time, along with other narratological aspects within literary texts.
