Researchers have developed the BZK Ontology (BZKO) to semantically represent and integrate historical compensation records from Germany's Central Federal Card Index. This two-layer ontology separates domain semantics from interoperability constructs, combining BFO-based realism with archival standards like RiC-O and PROV-O. The goal is to enable provenance-preserving integration of Wiedergutmachung archival materials into digital humanities infrastructures, facilitating future knowledge graph generation and ontology validation.
