Fundering Svenskt Biografiskt lexikon

Nya rapporter från regeringsuppdraget kring öppna data vid Riksarkivet


Status idag kring Svenskt Biografiskt lexikon SBL


  1. Finns i fysisk form ca. 33 band?!?! som givits ut sedan 1917 A-Svedelid
    1. Enormt hög kvalite på informationen. SBL räknas som ett referensverk som alla forskare bör kontrollera med..,
  2. Finns på internet en WEB och en App
    1. Sök funktion på namn, en enklare utökad sökning plus en fritextsöknings variant 
    2. Författare står i text ej länkat och utan VIAF eller annan identifierare
    3. Yrken är länkade 
    4. Vissa relationer barn fader finns men sällan omvänt dvs. enormt svårt att skapa sig en bild av relationerna
    5. Enormt mycket med förkortningar som för en icke domain specialist är enormt svårlästa. Om jag förstår rätt så har man i princip samma struktur som 1917
    6. Det finns persistenta identifierare för person - visa sidor beskriver även en familj/släkt


Vad saknas?


  1. En vision vilken roll vill SBL och Riksarkivet ha i det informationslandskap som finns? Vill SBL synas eller är det Wikipedia och Google som skall ha "monopol" på all online informationen och SBL finns i 40 band som "sover gott" i en bokhylla i Arninge?
  2. Ett API att komma åt data
  3. En tanke hur SBL rent semantisk skall beskrivas. Vilka relationer finns, vilka egenskaper?
  4. En precision eller åtminstone tydlighet
    1. Årtal saknar kalender som året angivits i
    2. Osäkerhet beskrivs i termer troligen vore mer semantiskt korrekt att ha maskinläsbara fält som anger precision
  5. SBL är idag en "SILO" utan kopplingar till exempelvis VIAF vare sig för de personer som beskrivs eller författare. Varför?
    1. En start har gjorts av undertecknad att
       
      1. Skapade ett property SBL i Wikidata
      2. Kopplat ett antal artiklar i Wikipedia/Wikidata => SBL länk
    2. En författare som Olle Franzen har skrivit mer än 179 artiklar men det är smått omöjligt att identifiera vem denna person är... det vi idag (2017-aug) tror är att det inte är samma person som wikipedia svenska Olle Franzén är det ok? är det trovärdigt? funkade kanske 1917 men 2017 då alla vet vad fake news är....
      1. Diskussion Wikipedia om detta
      2. Fråga SBL Facebook


Sökning på externa bibliografiska identifierare som också finns på SBL kopplade artiklar i Wikidata. 2017 aug 27 +4000 artiklar kopplade mellan SBL och Wikidata

SBL Id - > Wikidata

Redirect SBL Id -> Wikidata

SBL ID 7103 Nils E Personne

==>

https://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/#/view?find=P3217:7103



Idea create dynamic Playlist in Spotify from SPARQL search in WIkidata

WIkipedia has a data layer in which you have a Spotify artist ID as a property

Example:
  1. Wikipedia article Ivar_Hallströmhas
  2. Wikidata item Q1675681 that has a Spotify ID #P1902 = 1EfDIBT2ky5Tw2ZdwS1Lze
As Wikidata has a Query language I can query all items that are published in Swedish Biographical Lexikon and display them on a timeline with a link to Spotify




Now I would like to create a program that search all people in WIkidata for xxxx and then create a playlist with songs related to that

Below some good videos explaining the concept

Using Wikidata to Add more reliable sources to Wereleate

Swedish National Archives has a department that creates a biographical dictionary (SBL) ==> full time professionals see link.

SBL has in Wikidata property P3217.  Every article in SBL has an unique ID e.g. Alfred Nobel has 8143 ==> that in Wikidata this value is added to Q23810 P3217


    • Status 12 aug 2017 is +3900 articles in SBL connected to an article in Wikidata see map


Map of Birth, Death and Grave location of People in Wikipedia with also an Article in SBL
Click upper left to filter n century
As WeRelate now has Property P4159 we can create a list of all Profiles in WeRelate that also is described in SBL

What has been done in WeRelate

As WeRelate now have a Property in Wikidata it would be possible to populate WeRelate templates like SBL sources from Wikidata

Other possibilities

  1. Pictures are stored in P18 that should be an illustration of the object
  2. Grave pictures are stored in P1442
    1. all pictures are in WikiCommon and can be used
  3. Finnish Bibliographies Kansallisbiografia has property P2180
  4. Rodovid is an Ukrainan genealogy Wiki using MediaWiki 1.9.3 they have Property P1185 and has most research in that part of the world see my blog and search displayed on a map
  5. kaiserhof.geschichte.lmu.de property P1818 is a personnel database of the Courtiers of the Austrian Habsburg Dynasty in the 16th and 17th centuries - the following profiles in WeRelate is connected with a record in this database when we search in Wikidata
