Revision as of 17:19, 29 July 2019
The aim: To give a Genealogy of all the lodges that ever existed. When did they start? How were they affiliated?
If we had the framework we could think of involving lodges worldwide to gather membership information and to understand the development of the whole ensemble.
- All lodges in FactGrid ordered by date of establishment /in German (we could do far better.)
Think of a tree of all the lodges. Think of an animation that shows how Freemasonry spread over the globe. Think of a project which lodges worldwide can connect to and to which they can add virtual items like information of documents and objects in their possession.
The problem poses a load of things to think about.
799 data sets to cope with
In the course of 2019 we will implement millions of GND data sets. Among them data sets such as these:
- Große National-Mutterloge in den Preußischen Staaten, genannt Zu den Drei Weltkugeln
- Große Loge von Preußen, Genannt Royal York zur Freundschaft
We should be able to go beyond the 799 and we should be able to provide a couple of more interesting statements than those made here with the help of all the lodges world wide.
Momentum
We should have a team of at least 10 people who could consider what one should know about a lodge and how lodges evolved in genealogies and systems. We would need people with
- Masonic connections who could win history minded people in other lodges as partners.
- knowledge about web applications who could create an interface that focuses on masonic FactGrid information. The interface to create allows you to search lodges and documents. It should have visualisations such as a generate a pedigree for the specific lodge.
- the necessary historical knowledge to understand what such a database should be able to offer.
The site top create could run on any server - we would just be the data repository it uses to answer questions.
What should be done
- We should take a look at the two GND data sets and think of better ones that include and modify these data.
- We should try to find the team for this job. I (Olaf) can get and implement the data for the first 800 lodges. But the project would need an independent team that could organise itself.
Some things one might like to know about lodges
- mother lodge
- ritual (do they change?)
- the various historical names with specific information about name changes.
- location (city)
- changing addresses/buildings over time
- offices
- members
- objects of interest (if lodges want to offer insight into interesting historical possessions).
Some links
- Lanes Masonic Records
- Search of the German National Library GND-Data, 800 data sets - these data sets will become FacgtGrid objects during the next year.]
- Bossu
- Wikidata query a masonic lodge - 255 datasets strangely meager.
