LOD People agenda update

[Gabriel Bodard]

Dear colleagues,

With apologies for a few months of silence, Jun (CCed) and I would like to come back to the agenda for the People Activity of the Pelagios Network. As a reminder, the activity is chartered at <https://pelagios.org/activities/people/> and documents our activities through a Github Wiki and repository. Due to timezone issues, our discussions will mostly take place via this mailing list (although watch this space for some suggested real-time events over the coming months).

At our launch event, which doubled as a strand of the online-only LP symposium in December 2023, we started three collective activities: (1) collecting a list of digital prosopographical projects; (2) collating prosopographical standards and ontologies; (3) gathering examples of person LOD to look at. Each of these will be discussed in a separate thread here soon.

The next task which we identified as a desideratum was (4) to survey and compare the existing standards (for coverage, compatibility, usage, etc.), which will raise the question of what do we, the Pelagios Network LOD People Activity, plan to recommend in the longer term. (An existing ontology? A new ontology? A set of guidelines for compatibility and interchange between ontologies? Cf. <https://xkcd.com/927/>.) Do we also want to recommend, demo, or even create (5) a tool for working in the LOD People space? All of which to be discussed as we move forward.

Threads on all of the above to follow, but if there is anything else we should add to the agenda for this Activity, please reply here to suggest it.

All best, and many thanks,

Gabby

Dear Gabby, and all, 

Good to hear from you!

Here is the spreadsheet we assembled in linked pasts 9, with the list of prosopographical projects, and some ontologies. 

In the framework of the project Mehdie we started working on a couple of relevant tools which we will be happy to present in a couple of months (even if still in prgress).

All the best, 

Sinai
