Building my Academic Family Tree

edit

In this project, I try to build my academic family tree, starting from myself and my advisor. For each researcher I find, I will try to find all their affiliations and students. I will also try to create a Wikidata item for their master's thesis and doctoral dissertation.

SELECT ?advisor ?advisorLabel ?student ?studentLabel WHERE {

}
Try it!

We can also visualize the tree a little bit more nicely with Entitree. However, to have the full tree, we need to start by the oldest advisor and select the doctoral student (P185) property (or else, we have only one direct line).
