In the Linked Earth context, a [[:Category:Working_Group|working group]] (WG) is a self-organized coalition of knowledgeable experts, whose activities are governed [[:Category:Working_Group|herewith]]. This page is dedicated to the discussion of data and metadata standards for [http://linked.earth/ontology/#document '''historical documents'''], and aims to formulate a set of recommendations for such a standard.

== Scans, Pages ==
 +
 
 +
Each source can optionally have a bunch of images, that are the scans of the pages inside the source.
 +
Maybe this can be dropped for the LiPD format and only references to external images should be added
 +
to the quotes.
 +
 
 +
== Quotes ==
 +
[[File:Quote Historical Document.png|thumb|right|alt=Translated Quote|Original and translated quote from historical source]]
 +
 
 +
Out of each sources, several quotes could be extracted by transcribing them.
 +
Related data would most probably go into "measurementTables".
 +
 
 +
* Quote-ID: For later reference 
 +
* Reference to source: maybe short form like "Author()Year" is adequate
 +
* Page: String of the page(s) number where the quote is extracted from
 +
* Scan: Optional link(s) to externally stored image of this page(s)
 +
* Language: The language of the quote (or it's translation)
 +
* Protolanguage: The language the quote was written originally
 +

== Events ==

Events, that are more like interpretations of the quote would go

into "model part". Each events refers to

 +
* a quote

* a position
 +
* a time
 +
 
 +
and contains a climate related data. (to be defined)
 +
 
 +
=== Position ===
 +
[[File:Position Historical Documents.png|thumb|right|alt=Position used for Historical Documents|Position used for Historical Documents]]
 +
 
 +
The position different than for the other archive types is not fixed. Usually a compilation of several sources refer to different scattered locations.
 +
The location usually can be named but might covers different scales (continent, country, area, city, street,...) and terrain types (city, river, sea, ...).
 +
It best corresponds to the '''Geospatial metadata''' of LiPD; see also http://schema.org/Place .

=== Time ===
 +
The time derived for an event from historical documents is usually more precise than for other archive types.
 +
Often the uncertainty is just days or even hours. So it would be best to code the absolute date by gregorian
 +
calendar and a string of type ISO 8601. Optionally an absolute gregorian year (may be with floating point fraction
 +
instead of integer) can be calculated as well.
 +
 
 +
*Time
  
 
<poll>
 
<poll>
−
How should we handle Sources used for Historical Documents?
+
How should the event time primarily be defined:
−
Use existing '''Publication''' structure for one historical source instead linking to current publication
+
ISO 8601 mid-point time string and uncertainty in days (float)
−
Add different table with same structure as '''Publication''' to handle several sources in one file
+
Start and end time as ISO 8601 string
−
Something else (Comment below)
+
Gregorian year (float)
 +
</poll>
 +
 
 +
The original sources often contain the information in calendar notation different than gregorian.
 +
Julian calendar was used in Europe in historical time, but outside Europe other calendars existed
 +
or still exist, likeweise in chinese or arabic documents.
 +
 
 +
The calendar type is a string i.e. country, city, river, mountain, ...

== Phenomena/Coding ==
 +
[[File:Indices.png|thumb|right|alt=Indices Historical Climatology|Indices used to code Phenomena in Historical Climatology / Documents]]
 +
 +
A lot of information can be found inside historical documents. Thereby the coding schema is complex. A lot of coding is done by using indices.
 +
Some examples and their coding to illustrate this:
 +
 +
* The weather was extremely warm -> temperature index + very hot (+3)
 +
* A lot of rain fell in December -> precipitation type + rain & precipitation amount + more than usual (+1)
 +
* The water level was 13 feet -> water level + value:13.0 + tolerance:1.0 + unit:feet
 +
* The drought lead to bad harvest of potatoes -> harvest + harvest amount: less than usual (-1) & potatoes / precipitation amount: less than usual (-1)
 +
* The wheat harvest was little but the wine quality was good -> harvest + harvest amount: less than usual (-1) & wheat / harvest + harvest quality: better than usual (+1) & wine
 +
 +
+: one dimensional combination
 +
 +
&: two (or more) dimensional combinations
 +
 +
/: two different events (i.e. cause vs effect)
 +
 +
(Coding tree as used in tambora.org can be found [https://www.tambora.org/index.php/coding/tree/list?translate=off here].)
 +
 +
To handle the innumerable amount of different parameters, it makes sense to group them into thematic clusters.
 +
 +
=== Cluster: Temperature ===
 +
 +
Inside this cluster are all temperature related parameters: Temperature measurements, descriptive temperature levels, freezing events, ...
 +

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. This working group is an initiative of the Pages Floods Working Group but also related to the Pages CRIAS Working Group.

Sources / Historical Documents

Data is usually compiled from different historical sources. The LiPD data structure supports several Publication, that is normally used for referring to the publication describing the data. So this data cluster can be used for historical sources as well, in addition to the current publication describing the data. It is related to known standards as Dublin Core or BibTEX

Scans, Pages

Each source can optionally have a bunch of images, that are the scans of the pages inside the source. Maybe this can be dropped for the LiPD format and only references to external images should be added to the quotes.

Quotes

Translated Quote
Original and translated quote from historical source

Out of each sources, several quotes could be extracted by transcribing them. Related data would most probably go into "measurementTables".

  • Quote-ID: For later reference
  • Reference to source: maybe short form like "Author()Year" is adequate
  • Page: String of the page(s) number where the quote is extracted from
  • Scan: Optional link(s) to externally stored image of this page(s)

Position used for Historical Documents

The position different than for the other archive types is not fixed. Usually a compilation of several sources refer to different scattered locations. The location usually can be named but might covers different scales (continent, country, area, city, street,...) and terrain types (city, river, sea, ...). It best corresponds to the Geospatial metadata of LiPD; see also http://schema.org/Place .

Time

The time derived for an event from historical documents is usually more precise than for other archive types. Often the uncertainty is just days or even hours. So it would be best to code the absolute date by gregorian calendar and a string of type ISO 8601. Optionally an absolute gregorian year (may be with floating point fraction instead of integer) can be calculated as well.

  • Time
How should the event time primarily be defined:

There was one vote since the poll was created on 07:48, 25 April 2019.
poll-id F5072947F0CB8D3862347216F0EFEB01

The original sources often contain the information in calendar notation different than gregorian. Julian calendar was used in Europe in historical time, but outside Europe other calendars existed or still exist, likeweise in chinese or arabic documents.

The calendar type is a string i.e. country, city, river, mountain, ...

Phenomena/Coding

Indices Historical Climatology
Indices used to code Phenomena in Historical Climatology / Documents

A lot of information can be found inside historical documents. Thereby the coding schema is complex. A lot of coding is done by using indices. Some examples and their coding to illustrate this:

  • The weather was extremely warm -> temperature index + very hot (+3)
  • A lot of rain fell in December -> precipitation type + rain & precipitation amount + more than usual (+1)
  • The water level was 13 feet -> water level + value:13.0 + tolerance:1.0 + unit:feet
  • The drought lead to bad harvest of potatoes -> harvest + harvest amount: less than usual (-1) & potatoes / precipitation amount: less than usual (-1)
