From Biographies to Data Curation - The Making of www.deutsche-biographie.de

چکیده
The German Biography Portal “Deutsche Biographie” is a joint effort of the Historical Commission at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the Bavarian State Library and supported by cultural heritage institutions to develop a historical and biographical information system for the German-speaking world. It includes digital full texts of more than 48.000 articles about persons and families of two biographical dictionaries and indices from associated institutions. We will describe our objectives: textencoding, identifying individuals and places in authority files and aggregating further individual/biographical information from freely available, persistent, scientific and source-based websites and databases. The portal offers an entry point for historical biographical research. The potential of it lies in coordinated biographical data management and integration. The common database is gradually enlarged in a collaborative and modular manner together with partners in Germany and Europe. We will discuss on how the data base of scattered information can be managed.

متن کاملData Producers Courting Data Reusers: Two Cases from Modeling Communities
Data sharing is a difficult process for both the data producer and the data reuser. Both parties are faced with more disincentives than incentives. Data producers need to sink time and resources into adding metadata for data to be findable and usable, and there is no promise of receiving credit for this effort. Making data available also leaves data producers vulnerable to being scooped or data...
