Time Period Directories Vivien Petras, Matt Meiske, Kim Carl, & Michael Buckland Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative University of California, Berkeley PNC / ECAI Joint Meeting, Hawaii, Nov. 2005

Time Period Directories. ASIST. Background and Introduction ECAI project: “Supporting the Learner: What, Where, When and Who” – ecai.org/imls2004 For WHAT we can use subject headings, classifications, etc. WHERE was addressed on a prior project “Going Places in the Catalog: Improved Geographical Search” – ecai.org.imls2002 Recent work addressed WHEN, searching by time. Future work will seek to improve access to biographies WHO. Also how university teachers find resources for teaching. 12/8/2018 Time Period Directories. ASIST.

Time Period Directories. ASIST. Geographical search Ordinarily place names are used. Place names are ambiguous, multiple, and unstable. Solution: Use a gazetteer of place names in which each record is: Place name – Type – Spatial references (lat. & long) – Time (When). These data allow: Control of ambiguity, multiplicity, and instability; Map visualization Interoperability with other tools, e.g. online library catalog. 12/8/2018 Time Period Directories. ASIST.

Time Period Directories. ASIST. Search by time is also weakly supported. Calendar systems are the standard for time but in speech and writing people use the names of events to refer to time periods. Named time periods resemble place names in being: Unstable: European War, Great War, First World War. Multiple: Second World War, World War II, Great Patriotic War. Ambiguous: “Civil war” in different centuries in England, USA, Spain. As places have temporal aspects, periods have a geographical aspect: When the Stone Age was, varies by region. 12/8/2018 Time Period Directories. ASIST.

Time Period Directories. ASIST. Similarity between place names and period names Suggests similar solution: A gazetteer-like Time Period Directory. Gazetteer: Place name – Type – Spatial markers (Lat & long) -- When Time Period Directory Period name – Type – Chronological markers (Calendar) – Where Note the symmetry. Note the connections: Where and When. 12/8/2018 Time Period Directories. ASIST.

Time Period Directories. ASIST. Time Period Directory – Major Components Period ID Period name Descriptive notes Dates Period classification Location Related periods Entry metadata 12/8/2018 Time Period Directories. ASIST.

Time Period Directories. ASIST. Time Period Directory – Sample record (abridged) <periodID>1811</periodID> <periodName> <name>War of Independence, 1285-1371</name> <source>LCSH Authority ID: sh 85118831 </source> <dates> <beginDate dateQualifier="exact"> 1285</beginDate> <endDate dateQualifier="exact">1371</endDate> <periodClassification> <classificationTerm>Groups of People -- Period of Conflict </classificationTerm> <location> <locationName>Scotland</locationName> <locationSchemeId>adlgaz-1-4177310-16</locationSchemeId> 12/8/2018 Time Period Directories. ASIST.

Time Period Directories. ASIST. Web Interface - Access by country / US state / world city 12/8/2018 Time Period Directories. ASIST.

Time Period Directories. ASIST. Web Interface - Access by map 12/8/2018 Time Period Directories. ASIST.

Time Period Directories. ASIST. Web Interface - Access by timeline Link initiates search of Library of Congress catalog for all records relating to this time period. 12/8/2018 Time Period Directories. ASIST.

Time Period Directories. ASIST. Connections – 1: WHAT. These named time periods are derived from Library of Congress catalog subject headings and so can be used for catalog searching which finds books on topics relevant to that time period. 12/8/2018 Time Period Directories. ASIST.

Time Period Directories. ASIST. Connections – 2: WHERE. Time period directory records have a geographical field that can contain a place name or a reference to a gazetteer entry. Example: War of Independence, 1285-1371 <location> <locationName>Scotland</locationName> <locationSchemeId>adlgaz-1-4177310-16</locationSchemeId> <locationScheme> <schemeName>ADL Gazetteer</schemeName> <schemeVersion>3.2</schemeVersion> <source>http://middleware.alexandria.ucsb.edu/client/gaz/adl/index.jsp] 12/8/2018 Time Period Directories. ASIST.

Time Period Directories. ASIST. Connections – 3: WHO. Catalog records found from a time period search commonly include names of persons important at that time. Their names can be forwarded to, e.g., biographies in the Wikipedia encyclopedia. 12/8/2018 Time Period Directories. ASIST.

Time Period Directories. ASIST. Issues, challenges and further agenda Some periods, like some places, have uncertain boundaries. Cultural terms, e.g. Baroque, Renaissance, are ambiguous referring to a period and/or to a style. Need more standards (e.g. for personal names), protocols (for time period directory servers), and best practices. More content: Additional time period directories. 12/8/2018 Time Period Directories. ASIST.
