Data model for manuscripts

The purpose of this data model is to record as much descriptive data on manuscripts as possible as linked open data; this means in a standardized vocabulary. The project does not aim at making all data of the manuscript descriptions accessible in this form. In some cases, exchange standards are still missing, for example in the case of the quire structure of codices.


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 Handschriftencensus [HSC], and the upcoming Handschriftenportal. An important standard for manuscript description is the TEI msdescription module [TEI]. The Property TEI ID Property:P535 connects FactGRidProperties with the TEI.

manuscript items

Label and Description

Label

Every manuscript item should be labeled with "Place, Library, Shelfmark" [Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Broxbourne 84.3; München, Staatsbibliothek, Cgm 252 ] (Place and library names in language of home country; 4° = 4o)

Quickstatement: Len; Lde

Description

The description is a statement on the textual content of the manuscript. It gives "Shelfmark; language and mediatype: information on content". Content = author and title or title/texttype (DFG: Sachtitel) or the topic of a multiple text manuscript (DFG: "sumarische Inhaltsbezeichnung (z.Bsp. kanonistische Sammelhandschrift)").

  • Example: [MS Broxbourne 84.3; German manuscript: Geomancy – Astrology – Recipes for fire weapons (Büchsenmeisterbuch) – Prognostication – Wonder-Drug Recipes – 'Großes Planetenbuch']

Quickstatement: Den; Dde

Alias

Alias = "shelfmark" and (if available) "name of the manuscript"

  • Example: [MS Broxbourne 84.3]

QuickStatement: Aen

instance of

Property:P2

Every manuscript should be marked as manuscript (Item:Q15).

manuscript type

According to the format the manuscript is either a

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

lost manuscripts

If the manuscript is lost:

P2 is Item:Q5 (lost object)

additional information

core information (DFG:Schlagzeile)

Following information should be provided for every manuscript

Project information

research projects that contributed to this data set (Property:P131) => instance of "FactGrid research statement" (Item:Q11295) with "begin date", "author", "online information" etc.

Provenance

  • Property:P409 (Formed a set with) can be used to link to other manuscripts of the same collection (Überlieferungsverbund)

online resources


Literature

(#hier gibts doch schon was, auch ein Datenmodell?)

special information for codices

instance of

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

  • monomerous codex (Item:Q195260) = a manuscript containing a single codicological unit (Item:Q195167) = a manuscript containing one production unit
  • composite (Item:Q195262) = a codex which contains two or more codicological units (Item:Q195167) = a manuscript containing several production unit

Depending on the number of texts in is every production unit (monomerouse codex or codicological unit) can be either a

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

A codex discissus (Item:Q256451) is a codex that was formerly bound together, but is now divided into several parts and kept as independent library units (codices or fragments).

materiality of codices

  • bookbinding tools used (#new property)
    • a "bookbinding tool" (#new Item) can be a "Streicheisen", a "blind stamp", "bookbinder stamp" (#new), a "bookbinder plate" (#new), "bookbinder roll" (#new), identified tools can have an EBDB ID [2]

manuscript content

Data model for codices (work, genre etc.).jpg

section in a document

For every distinguishable 'section in a document' (a text, a music peace etc.) a separate item is created, instance of Item:Q10674.

Every section item should be labeled with "section: Place, Libary, Shelfmark, fol. 'X-Y'" [section: Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Broxbourne 84.3, fol. 1r-1v]

The section description gives the title of the work transmitted.

necessary information

manuscript related information

  • The order number of the section in the manuscript is given with the property 'position in sequence' (P499)Property:P499.

content related information

external information

work

Property:P590 with the corresponding Item:Q14239

Every work is labled with a "author: title" or "title". (For medieval German text, the titles used in the Verfasserlexikon are used. Other titles used by scholars should be given as alias.)

description = genre statement

Property 'media type', could be 'text' (Q195273), ...


A work can be an instance of a genre Item:Q11207 (#LINK zu 'list of genres') [oder als property genre/sujet (P576)?]


Properties:

  • title (Property:P11) (For medieval German text, the titles used in the Verfasserlexikon are used. Other titles used by scholars should be given as alias.)
  • author (Property:P21)
  • author as (misleadingly) stated (Property:P20)
  • date
  • place of origin
  • language Property:P18
  • GND ID
  • genre/sujet (P576)
  • areas of knowledge adressed (P608)
  • literature
  • edition (P???)

online information (Property:P146)

Field of Knowledge and Topic/Object of Discourse

All fields of knowledge should have a P2 + Q76109 statement, all topics a P2 + Q23455 information in order to allow an easy check of new fields and topics against already existing items.

Metatdata

certainty of data

Property:P155 is there to give the certainty of a statement

Dates

Date = P106

Precision of Date = Property:P467 (with a list of items to use with this property)

List of FactGRid properties for dates: https://tinyurl.com/yje9w5u5

Example for second half of the 14th century:"P106 $1375-00-00T00:00:00Z/7 P467 Q255217". Explanation: 1375 is not a precise date. In this format (/7) FactGrid displays it as "14th Century" with the "precision of date" (P467) "second half of the century" (Q255217). In a SPARQL-query and in a timeline the date will be shown as 1. January 1375.

Collation

P107 should be used to give the total number of folios/pages of a manuscript/codex

P577 can be used to give a collation string, e.g. "II + 523" (in this case P107 would be "525")

It should be noted that in Anglo-American descriptive bibliography "collation" refers to the physical make-up of the manuscript or printed book, i.e., the number of gatherings and the number of leaves in each gathering.

This is indicated by a formula, with the gatherings indicated by their signatures and the number of leaves by superscript numbers, e.g. a-d8 means that the manuscript (or printed edition) has 4 gatherings, signed a b c d, and each gathering has 8 leaves, for a total of 32 leaves in the book. Each gathering would be composed of 4 bifolios. By definition all gatherings must have an even number of leaves unless one has been deleted, either by accident or intentionally. In either case the loss should be indicated.

The classic description of the collation in this sense is Fredson Bowers, Principles of Bibliographic Description (1st ed. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1949. This is designed for printed books.

A useful explanation on the web is Collation Formula https://manual.stcv.be/p/Collation_Formula

FactGrid Property:P704 Collation captures this information. However, in the default browser it is displayed as raw HTML data, with the tags, e.g. a-d<sup>8d</sup> . In order for it to be displayed properly it must be inserted into an Item_Talk page with the heading ==Collation== followed by the collation structure. The URL link to this Item_Talk page is then linked to the Item by use of Property:P817 Notes.
