Project aims

edit

This project aims to

  1. Create data models for the data of medieval manuscripts
  2. Create wikidata items for all the (single) manuscripts and manuscript codices in the Koninklijke Bibliotheek
  3. Create wikidata items for all the separate texts that are bound into (single) manuscripts
  4. Create Wikidata descriptions for 400 illuminated medieval manuscripts from the collections of KB (and Museum Meermanno), including their associated makers, places etc.
  5. Upload some 11.400 images and miniatures of the illuminations in these manuscripts to Wikimedia Commons, and link them to Wikidata (and v.v.)
  6. Write Wikipedia articles about the manuscripts

QUERY BEWLOW SEEMS TO WORK, BUT NEED TO CHECK IF IT IS ACTUALLY CORRECT!!! 

SELECT DISTINCT ?codex ?codexLabel ?manuscript ?manuscriptLabel ?text ?textLabel
WHERE 
{
  {
  ?codex wdt:P31 wd:Q2217259; wdt:P195 wd:Q1526131 #manuscript codex from KB collection 
  OPTIONAL{?codex wdt:P527 ?manuscript.} #manuscripts

Showing the manuscript (Q87167) (and subclasses) in the collection of the KB 

SELECT DISTINCT ?item ?itemLabel ?pubdate
WHERE 
{
  ?item wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q87167. 
  ?item wdt:P195 wd:Q1526131 .
  OPTIONAL {?item wdt:P577 ?pubdate .
  FILTER(?pubdate <= "1551-01-01T00:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime)} #published before 1551
  SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en". } 
}
Try it!

Showing the miscellaneous manuscript (Q2217259) in the collection of the KB 

SELECT DISTINCT ?item ?itemLabel ?shelfmark
WHERE 
{
  ?item wdt:P31 wd:Q2217259 . 
  ?item wdt:P195 wd:Q1526131 . 
  ?item wdt:P217 ?shelfmark .
  SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en". } 
}
Try it!

(to do: remove shelfmarks that are actually catalog numbers/PPNs)
