Why deal with Kinship Systems? - unstructured knowledge space kinship system as central point combined with cultural, linguistic, historical, biographical and geographical information I. Ideas & Goals
4
Why deal with Kinship Systems? - important speaker information I. Ideas & Goals
5
Why deal with Kinship Systems? - important speaker information - not for community work I. Ideas & Goals
6
Why deal with Kinship Systems? - important speaker information - not for community work - scientific explorations and analyses - anthropological surveys - ethnographies I. Ideas & Goals

Kinship behaviour does not have to be isomorphic with the terminological structure: - cultural conceptualisations of human reproduction - kin systems are subject to time and other external factors II. Beaver Kinship System

Living conditions correlate with kinship and social system II. Beaver Kinship System

Living conditions correlate with kinship and social system consequences: - flexible organization - local group size II. Beaver Kinship System

II. Beaver Kinship System ∞ ∞∞∞ Marriage Patterns Terminology in the Beaver System: ashtéédzé ʼ – “y.sister” ságe ʼ̨ – “cousin / in- law” tłasee – “cousin / in- law” ashidle – “y.brother”

II. Beaver Kinship System ∞∞ Marriage Patterns Ideal constellation: - preference for bilateral cross cousin marriage sibling pairs
21
II. Beaver Kinship System ∞∞ Marriage Patterns Ideal constellation: - preference for bilateral cross cousin marriage - system not corresponding to actual relatives - concepts of “cross (marriageable)” vs. “parallel” relative

3. Relation Types Manager
31
Relations needed for representing kinship systems: I. symmetric relation A related to B and B related to A in the same way e.g. spouses (/ siblings) II. functional relation for each A there is a single B in its range e.g. mother of / father of III. ViCoS Workflow 3. Relation Types Manager

general: - automatically created relations (using toolbox file) - automatically generated relations (e.g. transitive relation) - re-import into toolbox - off line version - export function (e.g..jpg) - display of more than one focused entry - use other data categories as main / visible category - partitioned pop-up windows - staggered lines for multiple relations between two entries IV. ViCoS Wishlist
44
specific: - symbols for female / male (circle / triangle) - additional coloured symbols (e.g. for variation patterns) - automatically generated kinship relations, e.g. cross cousin relation (MBS / MBD / FZS / FZD) - links to archive (based on speaker, link to e.g. biographical stories) - show only subset of relations (e.g. only palatalization patterns) - use other data categories (e.g. code) as main / visible category - partitioned pop-up windows, also for relations IV.
