People sub-project. Part of Wikidata:WikiProject Early Modern England and Wales.
See Wikidata:WP EMEW/People/Identifiers for commonly-occurring identifiers for people.
Scope edit
- Who were the people connected to the places of Early Modern England and Wales, and what were the relationships between them ?
Immediate goal edit
- Improve the Wikidata set of potential matches to EMEW people, by identifying datasets (like the CCed) that contain overlap with EMEW people, and assess their completeness, which ones it is a) desirable and b) possible to improve.
- Identify which parts of the VR/EMEW project are going to come up with notable people for Wikidata e.g. landowners, clergy, etc, versus the kinds of people we might never find in another database, or would not have enough data for to disambiguate even if we did.
- Identify where there might be data improvements to be made (e.g. improving linking within families), and further datasets that could be added e.g. county-by-county lists of 'important' people in sources that could be mined.
