Data model for manuscripts

This data model is developed according the "DFG-Richtlinien Handschriftenkatalogisierung", chapter "Mittelalterliche Handschriften" [DFG].


The standard model for a manuscript item is Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Broxbourne 84.3 (Item:Q195086)

The data model should allow a data import from different sources, including the most important database for medieval manuscripts in German [www.handschriftencensus.de Handschriftencensus] [HSC], and the upcoming Handschriftenportal. An important standard for manuscript description is the TEI msdescription module [TEI].

manuscript items

Label and Description

Every manuscript item should be labeled with MS: Place, Libary, Shelfmark [MS: Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Broxbourne 84.3]

The description is a statement on the textual content of the manuscript. It gives Author and 'Title' or title/texttype (DFG: Sachtitel) or the topic of a multiple text manuscript (DFG: "sumarische Inhaltsbezeichnung (z.Bsp. kanonistische Sammalhandschrift)"). Example: [Geomancy – Astrology – Recipes for fire weapons (Büchsenmeisterbuch) – Prognostication – Wonder-Drug Recipes – 'Großes Planetenbuch']

instance of

Every manuscript should be marked as manuscript (Item:Q5).

According to the format the manuscript is either a

  • codex (Item:Q19)
  • fragment (#new)
  • roll (#new)
  • single sheet (#new)

(There are more manuscript types for non-european manuscripts.)

Depending on the number of texts in the manuscript, a manuscript is either a

  • Single Text Manuscript (#new)
  • Multiple Text Manuscript (#new)

Depending on the production of the codex, a codex is either a

  • monomerous codex (#new item) = a manuscript containing a single codicological unit (Item:Q195167) = production in one continuous process
  • composite (#new) = a manuscript which contains two or more codicological units (Item:Q195167)

core information (DFG:Schlagzeile)

Following information should be provided for every manuscript

  • holding institution (Property:P329), should be instance of Library (Item:Q11249)
  • writing surface (Property:P480) (DFG/HSC:Beschreibstoff)
  • collation (Property:P107) (DFG:Blattzahl; HSC: Umfang)
  • height (Property:P59) (DFG: first number in 'Format des Buchblocks'; HSC: first number in 'Blattgröße')
  • width (Property:P60) (DFG: second number in 'Format des Buchblocks'; HSC: second number in 'Blattgröße')
  • place of origin(Property:P95) (DFG: Entstehungsort; HSC: Entstehungsort/Schreibort)

=> #new qaulifiers needed (uncertain; region around) These might be useful: Property:P425 und Property:P467 exist as Qualifiers to express the precision. Property:P155 is there to give the certainty of a statement.

  • date (Property:P106) instance of date of manuscript (Item:Q164750), with qualifier Property:P155(DFG/HSC:Entstehungszeit)
  • language (P18), should be instance of language (Q4) #new Items for all German dialect groups needed
