Linked Open Data and Medieval Studies: Some Lessons from the Mapping Manuscript Migrations Project
Publisher: Edinburgh University Press
Date: 03-2022
Abstract: Building on the work of the Mapping Manuscript Migrations (MMM) Project between 2017 and 2020, this article aims to identify the potential benefits and likely challenges of using Linked Open Data (LOD) more widely across the research field of medieval studies. As well as aggregating and linking disparate datasets relating to the history of more than 220,000 medieval manuscripts, the MMM Project reconciled and matched vocabularies for places, persons, organizations, works and manuscripts. It built and tested various forms of access to the aggregated data, including a web portal and a SPARQL endpoint. It also demonstrated suitable ways of publishing its outputs, not only the aggregated data but also the data model and ontologies used. Drawing on the lessons learned in the MMM Project, the article offers suggestions for building an LOD environment for Western European medieval studies more broadly, covering the aggregation of heterogeneous data, the reconciliation of disparate vocabularies, and ways of enabling more effective discovery, exploration and analysis across the aggregated data.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to look at the current state of initiatives to develop “people‐centred” portals by repurposing name authority data from union catalogues and similar sources. A range of current projects and services are reviewed and evaluated to identify common features and trends. Several recent efforts in this area are of considerable interest and promise, but there are elements of this kind of service that will need further development and experimentation. This is one of the first attempts to give an overview of this type of initiative and to suggest some directions for the future.

Publisher: Emerald

DOI: 10.1108/10650750610663932
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to show that nowadays much of an in idual's life is recorded and documented in electronic form. This has major implications for manuscript and archival collections, which are explored in this paper. The records of significant in iduals have always been collected by libraries and other cultural institutions. Until fairly recently, these records were largely paper‐based, and sophisticated approaches to their management have been developed over many years. There has been some previous work done on identifying the main issues relating to collecting personal electronic archives, but new forms of personal records are continually emerging. This paper surveys the current situation. This is an area which is rapidly growing in importance and complexity. It deserves more attention, particularly in a library setting. There is still a lack of practical investigations aimed at developing guidelines for best practice and procedures for handling this kind of material. The issues for managing personal electronic archives are discussed, and lines for further research are suggested.

Medieval Manuscripts and Their Migrations: Using SPARQL to Investigate the Research Potential of an Aggregated Knowledge Graph
Publisher: Open Library of the Humanities
Date: 18-08-2022
DOI: 10.16995/DM.8064
Abstract: Although the RDF query language SPARQL has a reputation for being opaque and difficult for traditional humanists to learn, it holds great potential for opening up vast amounts of Linked Open Data to researchers willing to take on its challenges. This is especially true in the field of premodern manuscripts studies as more and more datasets relating to the study of manuscript culture are made available online. This paper explores the results of a two-year long process of collaborative learning and knowledge transfer between the computer scientists and humanities researchers from the Mapping Manuscript Migrations (MMM) project to learn and apply SPARQL to the MMM dataset. The process developed into a wider investigation of the use of SPARQL to analyse the data, refine research questions, and assess the research potential of the MMM aggregated dataset and its Knowledge Graph. Through an examination of a series of six SPARQL query case studies, this paper will demonstrate how the process of learning and applying SPARQL to query the MMM dataset returned three important and unexpected results: 1) a better understanding of a complex and imperfect dataset in a Linked Open Data environment, 2) a better understanding of how manuscript description and associated data involving the people and institutions involved in the production, reception, and trade of premodern manuscripts needs to be presented to better facilitate computational research, and 3) an awareness of need to further develop data literacy skills among researchers in order to take full advantage of the wealth of unexplored data now available to them in the Semantic Web.

Abstract: In 1974, at the height of the French revolutionary terror, the abbé Henri Grégoire, a member of the Convention and of its Committee of Public Instruction, presented a report to the Committee on the need for a national bibliography and a national library. He attacked the bibliophages (“eaters of books”) who wanted, in the name of the revolutionary republic, to destroy the accumulated books and libraries of the pre‐revolutionary era. The materials in these libraries, he argued, were “national assets”, which should all be listed in a national bibliography and made available to the nation in a great national library.

Abstract: How do you know if a newspaper is good? What are the best newspapers in the world? Most of us have opinions on these questions, but few would claim that our views are more than impressionistic and even intuitive. But one man who has publicly attempted to answer both these questions in a systematic way is John Merrill, Professor of Journalism at the Louisianna State University. He has put forward a list of “the world's top 20 newspapers”, accompanied by a detailed account of the grounds for his assessments.

The chapter concludes with an assessment of the future potential of ontology learning in the humanities, and an attempt to set out a research agenda for this field.
Collecting medieval and renaissance manuscripts in twentieth-century Great Britain and North America
Publisher: Berghahn Books
Date: 07-2019
Abstract: Medieval and Renaissance manuscripts were a significant commodity in the antiquarian sales market throughout the twentieth century, sought out by very wealthy collectors and small-scale buyers. The history of this manuscript market has not been analyzed systematically. This article is a first attempt to identify themes and trends across the century, beginning with the dominance of the great American Gilded Age collectors like Henry Huntington and the Morgans and their need to memorialize themselves. It argues that future research needs to assemble comprehensive data on prices and buyers in order to make possible more systematic analyses of trends and activities, and a more sophisticated understanding of the different reasons for which collectors collected and of the changing nature of manuscripts as objects with their own biographical trajectories and their own agency.

Organizational Change at the State Library of New South Wales and the University of Canberra Library: Perception and the broader picture
Publisher: Emerald
Date: 02-1993
DOI: 10.1108/EB055707
Abstract: To the front‐line soldier, war is far from being the kind of experience described by military historians and analysed by the strategists and generals. From the memoirs of those soldiers fortunate enough to have survived the battles which they fought usually emerges a picture of incomprehensible marches and movement, fragmented, intense action, and unconnected but significant details. There is no sense of the purposeful moves and counter‐moves, and unified patterns of action, seen by the historian or the general. While the analytical, “bird's‐eye” perspective may appear to make more sense of the events, it does so only at the cost of over‐simplification and loss of authenticity. A full account of a battle ought really to reflect the different “realities” perceived by the various observers and participants, but very few military historians have been able to do this. A notable exception is John Keegan, in The Face of Battle , who succeeds in conveying an impression of the in idual soldier's perception of a battle, as well as giving the broader, analytical picture.

How the West was won: Using VDX to redevelop cooperative document delivery services in Western Australia
Publisher: Emerald
Date: 06-2004
DOI: 10.1108/02641610410538540
Abstract: The Western Australian Group of University Librarians (WAGUL) has a long history of successful collaborative ventures. A well‐established cooperative interlending agreement is one notable venture that has operated successfully for over 20 years. To further enhance this service, WAGUL decided to participate in the national local interlending and document delivery administration system (LIDDAS) project with the objective of implementing an automated system, using the VDX software, to manage document delivery activity. Since 2002, VDX has been used for the transmission of requests and documents between the WAGUL member libraries. The success of this project has largely been the result of the four libraries working together to share expertise and problem‐solving. This article discusses the process of working collaboratively across institutions ‐ and its benefits and difficulties – in the context of implementing an automated document delivery system.

Concludes that government policies are being driven by economic crisis and appeals to the principles of free information and equality of access are perceived by politicians and administrators as being unrealistic.
Reproducibility, verifiability, and computational historical research
Publisher: Springer Science and Business Media LLC
Date: 31-08-2023
DOI: 10.1007/S42803-023-00068-9
Abstract: Digital humanities methods have been at the heart of a recent series of high-profile historical research projects. But these approaches raise new questions about reproducibility and verifiability in a field of research where grounding one’s conclusions in a body of historical evidence is crucial. While there have been extensive debates about the nature and methods of historical research since the nineteenth century, the underlying assumption has generally been that documenting one’s sources in a series of footnotes is essential to enable other researchers to test the validity of the research. Even if this approach never amounted to “reproducibility” in the sense of scientific experimentation, it might still be seen as broadly analogous, since the evidence can be reassembled to see the basis for the explanations that were offered and to test their validity. This essay examines how new digital methods like topic modelling, network analysis, knowledge graphs, species models, and various kinds of visualizations are affecting the process of reproducing and verifying historical research. Using ex les drawn from recent research projects, it identifies a need for thorough documentation and publication of the different layers of digital research: digital and digitized collections, descriptive metadata, the software used for analysis and visualizations, and the various settings and configurations.

Electronic texts, digital libraries, and the humanities in Australia
Publisher: Emerald
Date: 09-1999
DOI: 10.1108/07378839910289330
Abstract: The humanities are facing considerable difficulties and pressures in Australian universities, as staff numbers fall and research funds shrink. Despite this, various innovative projects, aimed at creating electronic versions of texts and other cultural materials, are currently in progress. A range of different cultural institutions is involved, though the university and state libraries are the most active participants. Funding for such projects is difficult to come by, and the future looks somewhat uncertain. If a more coordinated and coherent approach to building digital libraries is to succeed in Australia, researchers and cultural institutions will need to work together to establish the appropriate financial and organizational frameworks.

Publisher: Emerald
Date: 10-02-2012
DOI: 10.1108/10650751211197077
Abstract: This paper seeks to discuss the possibility of reviving browsing as an access framework in the midst of the “single search box” phenomenon. The paper provides an overview of recent trends in the implementation of “single search” products and contrasts this with the emergence of the Linked Open Data framework. The paper suggests that the Linked Open Data framework will provide an important platform for reviving browsing as an alternative to searching in information systems. The paper aims to stimulate further discussion about the relative importance of browsing and searching, as well as about the implementation of the Linked Open Data framework.

Harmonizing and publishing heterogeneous premodern manuscript metadata as Linked Open Data
Publisher: Wiley
Date: 26-05-2021
DOI: 10.1002/ASI.24499
Abstract: Manuscripts are a crucial form of evidence for research into all aspects of premodern European history and culture, and there are numerous databases devoted to describing them in detail. This descriptive information, however, is typically available only in separate data silos based on incompatible data models and user interfaces. As a result, it has been difficult to study manuscripts comprehensively across these various platforms. To address this challenge, a team of manuscript scholars and computer scientists worked to create “Mapping Manuscript Migrations” (MMM), a semantic portal, and a Linked Open Data service. MMM stands as a successful proof of concept for integrating distinct manuscript datasets into a shared platform for research and discovery with the potential for future expansion. This paper will discuss the major products of the MMM project: a unified data model, a repeatable data transformation pipeline, a Linked Open Data knowledge graph, and a Semantic Web portal. It will also examine the crucial importance of an iterative process of multidisciplinary collaboration embedded throughout the project, enabling humanities researchers to shape the development of a digital platform and tools, while also enabling the same researchers to ask more sophisticated and comprehensive research questions of the aggregated data.

Abstract: Reports that higher education in Australia is in the middle of far‐reaching changes resulting from the Federal Government′s White Paper of 1988 which provided the blueprint for the new “unified national system”. Comments on how this has affected the provision of library services and on a particular review of higher education libraries that reaffirms that each institution is responsible for deciding the level of funding for its library. Concludes that this review has aimed to make its recommendations feasible and pragmatic, especially in terms of sources of funds for identifiable projects.
