A huge thank you to @lab1100.bsky.social & to everyone who joined us for our Nodegoat Workshop at UGhent last week. With more than 30 researchers in attendance, we explored Nodegoat as a powerful object-oriented data management environment. Stay tuned for more CLARIAH-VL+ training events! #training
Currently at the Swedish Institute in Athens for the soft launch of www.periegesis.org/en/, which provides raw data of Pausanias's places, objects, people and events; side-by-side enriched texts in ancient Greek and English; maps and network graphs; and links to global authorities, e.g. Wikidata
Tomorrow (Wed) 14:00 GMT is our Annotation December Stammtisch, at which Rocio Da Riva (Barcelona) will discuss RelNet — a project exploring sacred landscapes and the connections between Babylonian cult centres. Join us to hear about all the issues of annotating cuneiform texts with digital tools
Dataset cleaning may not be glamorous, but it needs to happen! 💪 And we may all be at our own laptops, but it is sooooo much better to do it together!

Een impressie van een fragment van het vooroorlogse netwerk van componist Julius Hijman, die in 1939 naar Amerika emigreerde. Je ziet lijnen en bolletjes (spaghetti and meatballs). De groene bolletjes zijn personen, de paarse zijn uitvoeringen. Vanuit een persoon gaan verschillende lijnen naar diverse uitvoeringen. Hoe groter het bolletje, hoe meer verbindingen. Over Hijman vertel ik later meer.
Voor mijn onderzoek naar vervolgde componisten bouwde ik een netwerkdatabase om de posities en rollen van deze componisten voor de oorlog inzichtelijk te maken. Ik voerde handmatig 300 brieven en 1400 uitvoeringen in, waarbij 1900 mensen en 400 organisaties betrokken waren. Uitleg in ALT-tekst 🧵

Read a paper about the results of the project here 👇
Through the case study of the Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore in the second half of the 14th century, the project LASI - Labour, accountability and social impact of public buildings in premodern times, led by Pierluigi Terenzi and Marco Bellucci (University of Florence), aims to outline a model of public work organisation capable of having a positive impact on building objectives and on the city’s social fabric, and representative of a set of good practices capable of responding with resilience to the crises produced by epidemics, wars and famines. The analysis of past experiences that were able to overcome harsh economic, demographic and social criticalities intends to contribute to the reflection on decision-making options for today’s policy makers, on corporate social responsibility and on the adaptability required of employers and workers. The project aims to identify the elements that enabled the Opera, despite the difficulties, to complete the works entrusted to it, among which the cathedral stands out; and it intends to verify the hypothesis that the reasons for this success lay in the system of work and labour management, the constituent elements of which can be traced back to the mid 14th century. The project makes use of a database built with nodegoat, consisting of two pillars: the objects Workers and Decisions. In the former, all information regarding the Opera’s workers is recorded (names, qualifications, wages, periods, etc.); in the latter, all decisions made by the Opera’s governing board regarding labour and workers (size of wages, number of workers, support for injured workers, etc.). The connection between the two pillars made it possible to analyse the relationship between the ‘labour policy’ of the Opera and the configuration of the workers, as well as the contribution of the latter to the success in the construction of the Florence Cathedral through their participation in some decision-making processes.

Virtual Exhibition on pas d'armes tournaments
The project also created a virtual exhibition in order to share the results of the project with a wider audience: "Pas d’Armes and Late Medieval Chivalry: Tournament, Sport and Spectacle"

Pas d'armes database interface
Scholars who want to explore the published data by means of an interface may consult the database that has been published on the project website. This interface can be searched by Events, People, and Locations.

The database has been created in #nodegoat. Using the Publication Module a zip file containing all data in JSON and CSV formats was generated.
