INTRO – the intertextual, interpictorial, and intermedial relations ontology
intro
https://w3id.org/lso/intro/beta202408#
INTRO is an ontology for the fields of literary studies, art studies and intermediality studies for the representation of intertextual, interpictorial, and intermedial relations. It enables the presentation and categorization of diverse features of both textual and pictorial origin and their linking. Its subject area includes the scholarly discourse on these texts/images, interrelations, and features, insofar as research results are also understood as texts with features and relations. (For more information, see "Description").
INTRO is an ontology for the fields of literary studies, art studies and intermediality studies for the representation of intertextual, interpictorial, and intermedial relations. It enables the presentation and categorization of diverse features of both textual and pictorial origin and their linking. Its subject area includes the scholarly discourse on these texts/images, interrelations, and features, insofar as research results are also understood as texts with features and relations.
The notions of 'text' and 'image' in this ontology are largely derived from their use in the ontologies INTRO is an extension of. For definitions, see the passages in the documentations of CIDOC crm resp. LRM on the relevant classes (these being CIDOC crm's E73 Information Object, and E90 Symbolic Object resp. LRM's F1 Work, F2 Expression, F3 Manifestation). Depending on the theoretical framework, the notion of 'text' can be understood very broadly: It can include images, it can cover large corpora of texts otherwise understood as distinct entities. INTRO makes use of these possibilities in the regard of including the notion of 'Architexts' as introduced by Gérard Genette as sets of texts (and in this case images) seen as a unit (by reference to certain features, timeframes, semantic features etc., see INT6 Architext).
One differentiation INTRO is built on is the one between a 'passage' and a 'segment'. These two concepts are parallel to LRM's F2 Expression/CIDOC CRM's E36 Visual Item on the one hand and LRM's F3 Manifestation on the other hand, in the way that the former (Expression/Visual Item, Passage) embody a more abstract concept of the text/image and of its parts, while the latter (Manifestation, Segment) refer to the form a text/an image and its parts take when they are manifested in a specific way or version, e.g. at the stage of a certain published edition. Examples include a passage from Goethe's "Faust", Act V, vs. a passage from Act V. of a specific edition of Goethe's "Faust". Only the latter one is a citable entity in the sense that it has a place and a date of publication, a publisher, and a page number attached to it; the former can be manifested in many of the latter.
These differentiations suffice for an outside view of expressions / manifestations and their parts. When confronted with expression form and contents and the like – here combined in the notion of 'feature' –, another level comes into play. A basic orientation can be obtained from Edmund Husserl's notion of image, respectively his separation of the image ("Bild") from its carrier ("Bildding") and its content ("Bildsujet") as discussed in "Phantasie und Bildbewusstsein" (1904/1905; parallel and clarified nomenclature can be found e.g. in Wolfram Pichler's and Ralph Ubl's "Bildtheorie zur Einführung", 2014, where the three notions are called – my translation – image vehicle, image object, and image referent; for further examples of this trias in image theory and semiotics, see Simon 2009, p. 41). While Husserl's carrier combines the F4 Item and the F3 Manifestation of an image (which, with regard to paintings, can easily fall together – as painting is, now following Nelson Goodman, an 'autographic' art) and the image itself corresponds to the F2 Expression resp. CIDOC CRM's E36 Visual Item, all the features an image can actualize belong in his third category ("Bildsujet"). This third category – the question of what is 'in' an image or text, what can be 'seen on' resp. 'read out' of it, etc. – is provided by the interaction of two classes of INTRO: The INT4 Feature and the INT2 Actualization of Feature. The 'feature' is the more abstract concept separate from the specific text/image. One and the same feature (e.g. chiaroscuro painting, a hero character, a plotline, etc.) can be identified in multiple texts/images, while the specific actualization of the feature is bound to the respective text/image. An image can have one or many carriers, and many images can refer to the same real-life entity. (Rooting a single image in different versions of, e.g., a work of art, or in a series of works of art however touches upon a grey area between the terms "image" and "sujet").
This trias of an expression's manifestation, the expression itself, and its 'contents' (as features) is again expanded by the question of referentiality. Ralf Simon (2009, p. 48f.) introduces a fourth instance to the original trias, differentiating between the carrier, the image, the image object and the referent, the latter two dividing what was formerly one entity referred to as, e. g., sujet. This states a difference between a (usually:) semantic feature) and a possible, but not necessary reference to an external entity. This modelling is inside INTRO's scope: The ontology makes use of a very basic notion of referentiality with regard to images as well as texts: Actualized features can themselves actualize the feature of being a reference to a real-world entity, by chaining an INT18 Reference entity to, e. g., an INT9 Semantic Feature. Note that this construction offers a quite simple answer to the question if the reference to a fictitious entity - e.g. a unicorn - is possible resp. a reference at all: The unicorn is, in this case, a semantic feature.)
Throughout the ontology, the term 'relation' is to be understood in the broadest sense. The ontology instantiates relations between (textual, pictorial) entities or features thereof; while it does not pose any restrictions on the notion of 'relation', it provides subclasses for expressing the medial aspect (intertextual, interpictorial, intermedial) as well as classes for further specification. The ontology also provides the opportunity to link these specifications (as well as many other of its concepts) to the scholarly discourse they are the subject of.
This way, INTRO covers a large portion of scholarly practice; some of the subclasses of INT9 Semantic Feature in combination with object properties linking these features also allow - to some degree - for the reconstruction of the argumentative structure of, e.g., research papers (as they allow for the reconstruction of the contents of literary works).

R40 has bibliographical data
Defines the location of an INT16 Segment in e.g. a F3 Manifestation, e.g. by giving page or paragraph numbers. Can be replaced by oa:hasSelector to specify the location utilizing the multiple options provided by the Web Annotation Ontology

The INT1 Passage is a means of modelling an identifiable part of an E73 Information Object or its subclasses – without that part being removed from its source Information Object.
For examples, see subclass comments.
The skos:broadMatch states that the INT1 Passage can be regarded as an oa:SpecificResource in the sense that it is a section of a resource.
The skos:broadMatch between R41 hasLocation and oa:hasSelector indicates that by replacing R41 hasLocation with oa:hasSelector, multiple selector options from the Web Annotation Ontology can be utilized to specify the INT1 Passage's location.
INT1 Passage
The fact that a text or an image shows - in its own specific way - a certain feature (which itself is an abstract concept and takes form in many texts/images), e.g. a motif, an atmosphere, a theme, a figure of speech.
Examples:
- the specific actualization of the motif of patricide in Sophokles' 'Ödipus Rex'.
- the specific actualization of the Faust-subject in Goethe's 'Faust'.
- the specific actualization of the iambic pentameter in Rilke's 'Archaischer Torso Apollos".
- the specific actualization of the Ophelia-character in John Everett Millais' painting "Ophelia" (1852).
INT2 Actualization of Feature
This class comprises the abstract notion of a relationship between texts and/or images resp. their parts as it is identified by a recipient (which is not the same as the rhetorical entity 'quotation'). Every INT3 Interrelation has at least 2 related entities, which are texts/images (on any ontological level) or INT2 Actualizations of Features. An INT3 Interrelation is possibly identified in an INT Interpretation and further defined by an INT11 TypeOfInterrelation.
The skos:broadMatch to oa:Annotation indicates that stating the existence of an intertextual relation can be seen as a kind of annotation made to resources, in this case: at least two, the related entities (texts and/or images).
INT3 Interrelation
This class comprises features that 'are in' or 'can be found in' or 'can be read out of' a text or an image. INT2 Actualizations of these features are the results of a receptive process that identifies the specific form the INT4 Feature – a distinct abstract concept, itself separate from the text or image – takes in the text or image. This class therefore has a wide scope. Its domain could be divided into subclasses following any number of different ratios; to avoid the resulting restrictions and/or complex hierarchies, the actual subclasses of the INT4 Feature represent diverse approaches to its subject matter, covering medial aspects as well as aspect of form and semantics. They can be populated resp. extended with custom subclasses based e.g. on relevant reference works: The class INT8 Rhetorical Feature could contain concepts based on classical rhetoric like allegory or personification, but would of course also include the pictorial pendants of these tropes. Lemmata from handbooks of poetic terms as well as concepts of pictorial composition could populate the INT10 Formal Feature resp. its (sub-)subclasses. Subclasses of INT9 Semantic Feature could be extended using art thesauri as well as handbooks on literary motives.
For external thesauri and vocabularies see, e. g., ICONCLASS, the Getty Art and Architecture Thesaurus, the Getty Cultural Objects Name Authority, the Getty Union List of Artist Names, the Literary Theme Ontology (LTO), the Document Components Ontology, the OntoPoetry Ontology, the Taxonomy of Themes and Motifs (TTM2) ...
INT4 Feature
An INT6 Architextual Entity consists in a number of texts/images which in some way give reason to see them as connected, related, sharing a common feature.
Examples for INT6 Architextual Entities can be
- discourses (members sharing a discoursive element, a topic etc.)
- genres (members sharing genre conventions)
- a discipline (members deriving from the same disciplinary background)
- an oeuvre (members created by the same person)
- national literatures/arts (members whose creators share a nationality) etc.
INT6 Architext
This class comprises every aspect of a text or an image that can be described in terms of rhetorics, meaning its "How?" and "To what end?". This includes features ranging from the occurrence of rhetorical tropes to aspects of composition in visual arts to aspects of the narrative act such as 'voice' or 'narrating time' (figurative or narratological entities, covering the "How") to parts of an e.g. research paper like 'introduction' or 'quotation', or, for example, the donor portrait in an altar piece (covering pragmatic aspects, the "To what end").
INT8 Rhetorical Feature
This class comprises every semantic aspect of a text or image, like the common notions of 'plot', 'sujet', or 'character'. While most subclasses are still object to refinement and addition – to indicate their provisional status they are not yet numbered in this version of INTRO –, INT18 Reference has been numbered to indicate its consolidated status.
INT9 Semantic Feature
This class comprises subclasses for every formal aspect of a text or image. It is divided into the subclasses INT Part and INT Composition, the former containing elements possibly structured according to the latter. Instances or subclasses of these two classes are likely also instances / subclasses of other subclasses of INT4 Feature: An INT Part can at the same time be an INT Object (formal and semantic) or an INT Dramatic Entity (formal and rhetorical); questions of perspective and vanishing point can be considered in a formal as well as a rhetorical respect. As a consequence of the ontology's origin, INT Part is currently dominated by literary terms which makes the addition of custom subclasses for pictorial features necessary.
INT10 Formal Feature
This class comprises (as subclasses) the many classifications of interrelations between instances of texts of images (on any ontological level) that are identified, for example, in research literature, but also in greek rhetoric, in genre theory and so on.
INT11 Type of Interrelation
This class comprises common concepts of interrelations such as 'citation', 'plagiarism', 'allusion' and so on; no further definition is necessary.
INT12 Common Interrelation Types
This class comprises types of interrelations that are defined or applied in genre theory.
INT13 Interrelation in Genre Theory
This class comprises interrelations (likely: mostly intertextual relations) that are defined in works on rhetoric.
INT14 Interrelation in Rhetoric
This class comprises intertextual relationships that are defined or applied in research literature dedicated to intertextuality theory.
INT15 Intertextuality in Intertextuality Theories
This class comprises expressions (e.g. texts represented as F2 Expressions) or parts thereof as they are represented in F3 Manifestations. INT16 Segments can be located inside the F3 Manifestation by means of page numbers etc. and are thus identifiable (and citable). They are not identical to/subclasses of F3 Manifestations, since they only make a part of it; they are not identical to F2 Expressions, since they have distinct metadata linking them to, e. g., a certain edition of a work. The INT16 Segment can be linked to an F2 Expression (resp. a E36 Visual Item) or an INT1 Passage through R16 incorporates. It can be linked to a physical carrier (like LRMs "F5_Item") through P128 is carried by.
INT16 Segment
This class comprises types of interrelations between a text or an image on any ontological level and an architext that have merely classificatory or typological function, including a text/an image being a part of an architext (an epoch, a movement etc.), its initial or final text/image, etc.
INT17 Functional Relation
This class comprises references to – usually: real – identifiable objects of any kind. It is not restricted to non-fictional texts resp. images depicting real life objects or events, but can be most easily applied there. The CIDOC CRM property P67 refers to is recommended to establish the link to the entity referred to. However, there are two options: P67 can link this INT18 Reference (or any other feature) to the external entity, but it can also link the corresponding actualization of said feature to the external entity. This depends on the respective theoretical framework and is not specified in the context of this ontology.
(The scope of this class also includes references to other images/texts, if one wants to model an interrelation this way.)
INT18 Reference
The INT21 TextPassage is a means of modelling an identifiable part of an E73 Information Object or its subclasses – without that part being removed from its source Information Object.
Examples:
- The words 'Abandon all hope ye who enter here' from Canto III of Dante's Inferno.
- The first four lines of Rilke's poem "Archaischer Torso Apollos"
- The last item on a shopping list.
The skos:broadMatch states that the INT21 TextPassage can be regarded as an oa:SpecificResource in the sense that it is a section of a resource.
The skos:broadMatch between R41 hasLocation and oa:hasSelector indicates that by replacing R41 hasLocation with oa:hasSelector, multiple selector options from the Web Annotation Ontology can be utilized to specify the INT21 TextPassage's location.
INT21 Text Passage
INT22 Image Area
The INT22 ImageArea is a means of modelling an identifiable part of an image (itself modelled as an E73 Information Object or one of its subclasses) – without that part being removed from its source Information Object.
Examples:
- The part of Leonardo's Mona Lisa showing Mona Lisa's smile.
- The bottom 3/5 of Rothko's Painting "Orange And Yellow" (1956), dominated by the fuzzy orange rectangle.
- The part of the "Smiley Face" originally invented by Harvey Ball that shows the Smiley's left eye.
- The part of Piranesi's The Drawbridge, 2nd version, showing a drawbridge.
The skos:broadMatch states that the INT22 ImageArea can be regarded as an oa:SpecificResource in the sense that it is a section of a resource.
The skos:broadMatch between R41 hasLocation and oa:hasSelector indicates that by replacing R41 hasLocation with oa:hasSelector, multiple selector options from the Web Annotation Ontology can be utilized to specify the INT22 ImageArea's location.
This class contains visual features of images - but possibly also of texts. Its subclasses are rudimentary, it is very likely that instances of other INT4 Feature subclasses can be classified as visual features at the same time. This might be the case for, e.g., INT Composition (although for these instances classification as an INT26 Shape should also be considered).
INT23 Visual Feature
This class contains textual features, usually found on texts - but possibly also on images. It is very likely that instances of other INT4 Feature subclasses can be classified as textual features at the same time.
INT24 Textual Feature
INT25 Color
INT26 Shape
INT27 Texture
INT28 Ratio
INT31 Intertextual Relation
INT32 Interpictorial Relation
INT33 Intermedial Relation
This class comprises intermedial relations that can be found in research literature dedicated to intermediality theory.
INT34 Intermediality in Intermediality Theories
This class comprises interpictorial relations that can be found in research literature dedicated to interpictoriality theory.
INT35 Interpictoriality in Interpictoriality Theories
INT Act (Drama)
INT Atmosphere
INT Character
INT Constellation
INT Definition
INT Description
INT Discipline
INT Discourse
This class comprises concepts from drama theory.
INT Dramatic Entity
INT Epoch
INT Event
The class comprises figures of speech. Since there are countless classification systems (the most common dividing figures into tropoi - metaphor, metonymy ... - and schemata/figurae, further dividing the latter into figures of thougth and figures of word, further dividing the latter into grammatical and rhetorical figures of word), no subclasses will be provided.
INT Figurative Feature
INT Figurative Meaning
INT Genre
INT Genre Specifics comprises all features that are used to assign a certain genre - whether textual or visual -, are typical of such a genre, or occur frequently in it. Instances might often be also instances of the other subclasses of INT4 Feature. INT Genre Specifics' two subclasses – INT Visual Genre Specifics and INT Textual Genre Specifics – do not imply that each feature must be either–or, in some cases features will be assignable to both classes.
INT Genre Specifics
INT Individual Character
INT Individual Object
INT Individual Place
The result of a interpretative act, possibly: as perceived in research literature. An interpretation can identify references or actualizations or the like. A number of interpretations can together recreate the structure of, e.g., a research paper. Accordingly, apart from linking INT Interpretations to the subjects of the interpretation, like intertextual relations or textual features, they can be linked to each other via R9 has subsequent feature resp. R9i has preceding feature.
Examples:
- the statement that Umberto Eco's 'The Name of the Rose' features a detective character.
- the statement that Umberto Eco's 'The Name of the Rose' contains references to Arthur Conan Doyle's 'Sherlock Holmes'.
- the statement that Umberto Eco's 'The Name of the Rose' is set in the 14th century.
- the conclusion that Umberto Eco's 'The Name of the Rose' belongs to the genre 'postmodern crime novel'.
INT Interpretation
This class comprises rhetorical concepts from lyric theory.
INT Lyrical Entity
INT Mood
INT Motif
INT Movement
This class comprises narratological concepts insofar as they correlate with rhetorical concepts (like 'speech', 'distance', 'perspective' etc.). Due to the plurality of narratological frameworks, no subclasses will be provided at this point.
INT Narratological Entity
INT Object
INT Oeuvre
INT Opinion
INT Place
INT Plot
The class includes all features that can be attributed to a text or image with regard to the role that these works play in a plot, for example in a social, political or religious context. These characteristics take account of the fact that the works in question pursue a specific purpose that goes beyond content and form and that is apparent 'on the surface‘ or by application of certain conventions or handed-down standards. While INTRO-subclasses of this class are limited to those close to the functionality of INTRO and which are to be applied to the relation between primary and secondary (textual) sources, subclasses can of course also include concepts from visual art. A pragmatic feature of a painting might be a donor portrait expressing gratitude, the portrait of a ruler serving propaganda purposes, a bible scene serving as guide for pious action. Pragmatic features of texts include bibliographic references, acknowledgments, and the like.

INTRO beta202408
beta202408
2023-04-01
Changes from version beta202210 to version beta202304:
- A new property R16_incorporates and its inverse have been added to link the INT16_Segment - an E90_Symbolic_Object - to an E73_Information_Object it incorporates; a similar property already exists in CIDOC - P165_incorporates - but is limited to E73_Information_Object as a domain. A INT16_Segment can't be clearly classified as an E73_Information_Object. (2023-01)
- A new subclass of INT9 Semantic Feature has been created: INT18 Reference.
- "INT_Event" and "INT_State" are no longer subclasses of "INT_Plot" but sibling classes (and subclasses of "INT9_SemanticFeature") - since they are actually not a kind of plot, but rather an element in a plot. (2022-11)
INTRO beta202304
beta202304
2022-10-01
Changes from version beta202001 to version beta202210:
- A necessary modification was made on INT16: It was renamed "Segment" and its description was altered: The now more flexible INT16 can incorporate portions of e.g. F22 Self-contained Expressions of any size, meaning not only whole texts, but also INT1 Text Passages.
- The INT16 is now also a direct subclass of E90 Symbolic Object.
- Properties indicating position inside a document, that before related to INT1 Text Passage now also relate to INT16 Segment - since a Text Passage as taken from a F22 Self-contained Expression does not yet have the form of a published work and because of that can not be identified via e.g. page numbers (but only by indication of verse, act, chapter etc.). A INT16 as a part of a published text can.
- After close examination it became clear that "r10 has text passage" (as well as the inversion) cannot be meaningfully related to "F1 Work", since "Work" cannot have text passages. As a result, "Work" was deleted from the domain of "r10 has text passage".
- "r10" is now also no longer related to "F2 Expression", but to the parent class "E73 Information Object". This allows the modeling of text passages assigned to entities outside the narrow definition of the class "Expression" - since " Expression" by no means covers all written documents.
- In domains/ranges throughout the model, "F2 Expression" was replaced with "E73 Information Object".
- Erlangen-CRM and the related serialization of FRBRoo were replaced.
- "INT0" in labels was replaced with "INT".
- owl:import was deleted.
- All named individuals were deleted. (2022-10)
