Interface for exploring connections co-occurrence of families of individuals that are mentioned in Professor Kolb’s notecards. Each graph is centered on a family, and shows the first-degree (and optionally) second-degree connections with other families in the network. Each family is represented by a dot which is bigger or smaller based on the number of members of the family. Connections are shown based on a member of one family being mentioned on the same card as a member of another family. Thicker lines of connections indicate more connections between two families. A date range slider at the bottom can be used to explore connections between families between a narrower range of dates, and the graph can be told to center on a different family. Local (to Web browser on client) annotations can be added to nodes in the form of text notes or links. This interface is an early (alpha) level experiment, not in production. Outlook as of now for further development is uncertain.

Each Motley/Portraits item page is displayed from the server with a JSON-LD serialized RDF description of the item included and script references to either motley.js or poa.js. These JavaScripts parse the included JSON-LD and call Wikipedia, DBPedia and/or VIAF as appropriate to generate the more-information boxes for entities (people, theaters, performances) associated with the item (and displayed on the left-hand side of the item display. The JavaScript file harvests data and links about entities in real time using the Wikipedia and VIAF links stored in the JSON file, and displays the results on the left side of the Web page, making use of mustache templates. Also included in this portion of our project software repository is item.php (the server-side php script that generates the initial item- level html response page which is then enriched by motley.js or poa.js), as well as the browsing html templates (item 2 above) and associated JavaScripts.

XSL with an embedded JavaScript function for generating tooltips with basic biographical information and related links when the cursor hovers over a linked name in a card (see item 3 above). Calls a function that queries a triple store (local instance of Virtuoso) to get the data to display.

JavaScripts and CSS stylesheets used to generate graph view of family co-occurrences (depends on D3 JavaScript library for data-driven documents). Also included in this repository are the JSON serializations of co-occurrence data used to generate graphs (distilled from notecard and Person RDF).

Python script for combining a number of spreadsheet sources to generate a JSON-LD file for each item in the Motley Theater Collection. Creates Solr ‘documents’ JSON records at same time. Recent example of CSV version of spreadsheets with enriched and reconciled metadata is included.https://github.com/CIRSS/lod-project/tree/master/theater-collections/backend/portraits-of-actorsScript for combining a spreadsheet source to generate a JSON-LD file for each item in the Portraits of Actors Collection. Creates Solr ‘documents’ JSON records at same time. Recent example of CSV version of spreadsheets with enriched and reconciled metadata is included.

Python scripts for transforming the Kolb-Proust data. ConvertTEI2JSON.py converts each of the legacy TEI cards into a JSON file in the same directory as the original TEI file. The transformation is only partial, with the focus being on storing the metadata in the JSON files, but leaving the full text in the TEIs.https://github.com/CIRSS/lod-project/tree/master/kolb-proust/add-journal-linksScript for adding links to the 10 most frequently cited newspapers to the TEI files.

This repository contains Python scripts used to query VIAF Auto Suggest API to reconcile (find VIAF URLs for) names encountered in Motely, Portraits and KPA legacy metadata. This tool pre-existed this project, but updates were made in improve these scripts for use in our project.
