About edit

The aim of this Wikiproject is to make availabe and to interconnect historical research data and metadata that were generated in several academic and non-academic projects on the destruction of the economic existence of the Jews, especially in German cities and regions, available on Wikidata. The focus is on the period between 1933 and 1945 (National Socialism).

Furthermore, the Wikiproject also offers the opportunity to expand the field of research spatially to include the territories occupied by the National Socialists.

Last but not least, this WikiProject can serve as a cross-project discussion forum as well as an authority control for the description of the destruction of the economic existence of the Jews and thus make the data more useful especially for future (comparative) studies.

Background edit

The WikiProject was developed as part of a master's thesis that examines and discusses the implementation of open science principles in historical scholarship using the example of research data on the destruction of Jewish economic activity under National Socialism. Wikidata was used as a prototypical solution for open research data management in the research field.

Starting Point edit

This WikiProject is mainly based on research data on Jewish business enterprises in Berlin, which were generated in a research project at the Humboldt University of Berlin between 2005 and 2012. Excerpts are accessible online: https://www2.hu-berlin.de/djgb/www/find

From here, further data models and research data from the research field can be successively added.

Objectives edit

  • Collaborative data modeling
  • Common vocabulary und using standard data (development of an authority file)
  • Making existing research data available and reusable
  • Linking structured quantitative data and case studies
  • Common platform for the cross-project completion of existing research data on the destiny of jewish businesses as well as for the acquisition of new research data (for the university and non-university sector)
  • As a side effect: improve quality on wikidata and wikipedia for example Arisierung (Q664017) (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q664017) or Gorbatschow (Q2587685) (https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wodka_Gorbatschow&oldid=222273519)
