Welcome to MiMoTextBase

The MiMoText knowledge graph combines the linked open data paradigm with the infrastructure of a wikibase and text mining methods of data-based literary history. Using the query language SPARQL, you can query this large and growing knowledge graph about the French Enlightenment novel.
