Initial situation

  • Lack of archival sources (few (city) accounts,

judicial registers, feudal sources)

  • Deeds relatively very important
  • Until 1600 ca. 15.000 deeds: publication is

possible

  • Sources until 1405 published in

Oorkondenboek van Groningen en Drente (1896- 1899)

SLIDE 4

Cartago, phase 1 (2003-2008)

  • Publication of all 15.000 deeds in the regional

archives of Groningen and Drenthe prior to Jan. 1, 1601

  • Images, transcripts and descriptions
  • Advanced searching techniques (broad public)
  • Professionals (scholars and archivists) and

amateurs

  • Integrated advanced content management
  • No (or hardly) analysis of content
  • Digital publication

Cartago, phase 1 (2003-2008)

  • Cooperation between Groninger Archieven,

Drents Archief and Rijksuniversiteit Groningen

  • € 500.000, mostly from private funds

  • Oct. 1, 2008 (phase 1):

33.980 deeds (original, copy, edition) 66.903 scans

  • Jan. 1, 2012 (addition of the Groningen City

Archives): 156.422 scans (incl. deeds, accounts, judicial registers etc.)

Searching

  • Give insight in the way data are disclosed

(‘Opening the Black box’)

  • Implications for datastructure

Conclusion

(part 1)

  • System on itself, aimed at presentation
  • Repository
  • Built in 2005; evaluation is needed
  • Structure preliminary; formalisation needed
  • By archivists, for broad public
  • Large number of deeds
  • Mostly already available metadata
  • Permanent URL

(www.cartago.nl/oorkonde/fae398)

slide-44
SLIDE 44

And now…

  • Evaluation (functionality, searching, usability,

design, contentmanagement)

  • Formalization of metadata
  • Evaluation of datastructure (e.g. dates,

keywords, relations between different metadata)

  • Adapt for use by others
slide-45
SLIDE 45

Why?

  • Current structure insufficient
  • Not only deeds, but also other sources
  • Use by other archives and institutions
  • Cartago is only larger Dutch charterbook
slide-46
SLIDE 46

What has Cartago to offer?

  • Archivistic roots
  • Experience with large numbers
  • Elaboration of theoretic concepts
  • Will to move on

Levels

  • 1. Higher (RDF, DC, EAD, TEI)
  • 2. Same (MOM-CA/CEI)
  • 3. Lower (Formalisation metadata)
  • 4. Relations as entities

Examples

slide-53
SLIDE 53

Date fields datering: literal date clause (‘up Cruces Vindinge dach’) datum: normalised (‘3 mei 1400’) jaar: year (‘1400’) deviatie: possible deviation (‘0’) datumcode: coded date (‘InvCru’)

slide-54
SLIDE 54

Datumcode

Inventionis Crucis: InvCru Lunae die post Inventionis Crucis: LpInvCru Vigilia Inventionis Crucis: vInvCru Crastina Inventionis Crucis: cInvCru etc.

Additional wishes

  • Only one date (issue, seal, registrated, received, copy,

valid time, date mentioned)

  • No year style (Christmas, Eastern, Annunciation

etc.)

  • Uncertainty
  • Possibility vs. probability

Names

  • jonge – Johan – de – Brouwer – to Stedum
  • Groningen/Drenthe, 1400-1600
  • Not individualised

Relations between objects

  • Vidimus
  • Transumpt
  • Transfix

  • Part of description of object (‘A copy of B’; ‘Copy of A: B)
  • Cartago 99% private charters

And more…

  • Transcription rules and conventions
  • Description of material
  • Bibliographical references
  • Former archival refences
  • Etc.
slide-70
SLIDE 70

The archivist’s point of view

  • Serial sources for material
  • Preliminary identification
  • Tagging
slide-71
SLIDE 71

Conclusion

  • Cooperation necessary
  • Diplomatics and auxiliary sciences (SEI, DEI,

PEI, AEI)

  • Standardisation
  • Anticipate

Don’t ask what the semantic web can do for you, but ask what you can do for the semantic web
