Abstract

Abstract:Using a recent placement at the University of Pennsylvania as its basis, this Annotation explains the processes used to create and edit Name Authorities in the Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts of a particular, underrepresented group within the database: women. The data available at present in the SDBM is skewed towards male collectors and dealers, in part due to the biases implicit in the sources used to create manuscript entries and Name Authorities. Therefore, it is necessary to work on specific highlighted groups such as women in order to combat these biases.The essay will then move to discuss the process of creating and editing Wikidata entries for these women so that the two entries, the SDBM one and the Wikidata one, can be linked. It also argues that given the information about the candidates was usually already digitally present in some way, the data is in essence out there somewhere, it simply needs to be pulled together. In doing so, this paper highlights the importance of linked data and invites further targeted action to be taken for other similarly marginalised groups in the database in addition to women.
“唯连接”:连接勋伯格手稿数据库中的数据
摘要:本注释以宾夕法尼亚大学最近的一次安置为基础,解释了在勋伯格手稿数据库中创建和编辑一个特定的、未被充分代表的群体——女性——的姓名权威的过程。目前在SDBM中可用的数据偏向于男性收藏家和经销商,部分原因是用于创建手稿条目和名称权威的来源中隐含的偏见。因此,有必要针对妇女等特别突出的群体开展工作,以消除这些偏见。然后,本文将讨论为这些女性创建和编辑维基数据条目的过程,以便将两个条目(SDBM条目和维基数据条目)链接起来。它还认为,考虑到候选人的信息通常已经以某种方式以数字方式呈现,这些数据本质上是存在于某个地方的,只需要把它们拉到一起。为此,本文强调了关联数据的重要性,并邀请为数据库中除妇女之外的其他类似边缘化群体采取进一步的有针对性的行动。
