  abstract  = {We describe work done in the field of folkloristics and consisting in creating
	ontologies based on well-established studies proposed by “classical”
	folklorists. This work is supporting the availability of a huge amount of
	digital and structured knowledge on folktales to digital humanists. The
	ontological encoding of past and current motif-indexation and classification
	systems for folktales was in the first step limited to English language data.
	This led us to focus on making those newly generated formal knowledge sources
	available in a few more languages, like German, Russian and Bulgarian. We
	stress the importance of achieving this multilingual extension of our
	ontologies at a larger scale, in order for example to support the automated
	analysis and classification of such narratives in a large variety of languages,
	as those are getting more and more accessible on the Web.},
