Overview
In the Linked Earth context, a working group (WG) is a self-organized coalition of knowledgeable experts, whose activities are governed herewith. This page is dedicated to the discussion of data and metadata standards for historical documents, and aims to formulate a set of recommendations for such a standard.
Members of 'Historical Documents Working Group'
This working group contains only the following member.
Sources
Data is usually compiled from different historical sources. The LiPD data structure only supports one Publication, that is normally used for referring to the publication describing the data. When using this data cluster for historical sources instead, no current publication can be referred to. Also only one historical source could be handled, so each source would need it's own LiPD file. Adding an additional table for historical sources, would allow to use several of them in one LiPD file and in addition still allows linking to a current publication describing the data.
