FactGrid:SPARQL Lab

The following SPARQL-applications would be extremely cool to have (and might deserve web interfaces to address regular historians and normal people).

Visualise corresondences on maps

The input is either a selection of names to explore, a time segment or a specified research interest (Property:P97 is designed for such searches).

What one would like to have is something that does thigs like Nodegoat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLDRNiJrRUc

You can set a time frame (like 10 years), shift that (like from 1500 to 1900) and see how certain correspondences change their geographical centres).

Create Stemmas

We created to properties for this: Property:P233 names the object - a book edition, a manuscript or any other thing that is genetically earlier. Property:P234 comes as the qualifier and offers a statement on what basis the object can be seen as a precedent. You might for instance link a translation to the edition that gave the original text.
