Abstract

RESUMEN: Se expone la relación establecida entre dos proyectos de Humanidades Digitales: FactGrid, una base de datos enlazados creada específicamente para contener datos históricos, y PhiloBiblon, una base de datos biobibliográfica creada en la década de 1970. Se especifican los detalles técnicos de ambos proyectos y cómo utilizan las HD para su desarrollo. Además, es una puesta al día de los pasos que se han dado para integrar todos los datos de PhiloBiblon sobre textos romances en el entorno FactGrid. El futuro es halagüeño y prometedor para la relación entre ambos proyectos de HD. ABSTRACT: This paper sets forth the relation established between two Digital Humanities projects: FactGrid, a database for Historians, and PhiloBiblon, a biobibliographical database created in the 1970s. The technical details of both projects are specified as well as their use of DH for development. In addition, it updates the steps that have been taken to integrate all PhiloBiblon data in the FactGrid environment. The future is attractive and promising for the relation between both HD projects.

After a brief homage to Gemma Avenoza and a review of the technological changes in PhiloBiblon since 1987, there follows a description of the current project, “PhiloBiblon: From Siloed Databases to Linked Open Data via Wikibase: Proof of Concept”. The current rigid structure, with its ten relational tables and almost 1,300 data fields, is abandoned in favor of a much more flexible structure of “triples,” records based on a series of statements of the type Entity + Property + Entity, using the system of Wikidata, in which two entities Q are linked by a property P, e.g., Santillana (Q2877) writes (P50) the “Comedieta de Ponza” (Q390408).

For the past ten years libraries have been working diligently towards Linked Data and the Semantic Web. Due to the complexity and vast scope of Linked Data, many people have a hard time to understand its technical details and its potential for the library community. This paper aims to help librarians better understand some important concepts by explaining the basic Linked Data technologies that consist of Resource Description Framework (RDF), the ontology, and the query language. It also includes an overview of the achievements by libraries around the world in their efforts to turn library data into Linked Data including those by Library of Congress, OCLC, and some other national libraries. Some of the challenges and setbacks that libraries have encountered are analyzed and discussed. In spite of the difficulties, there is no way to turn back. Libraries will have to succeed.
