Semantic technologies are rapidly changing the historical
research. Over the last decades, an immense amount of new
quantifiable data have been accumulated, and made available
in interchangeable formats, in social sciences and
humanities, opening up new possibilities for solving old
questions and posing new ones. This paper introduces a
framework that eases the access of scholars to historical and
cultural data about food production and commercial trade
system during the Roman Empire, distributed across different
data sources. The proposed approach relies on the
Ontology-Based Data Access (OBDA) paradigm, where the
different datasets are virtually integrated by a conceptual
layer (an ontology) that provides to the user a clear point
of access and a unified and unambiguous conceptual view.
