The document discusses a data wrangling experiment to create datasets from the Rijksmuseum collection and web archive data for research purposes. A group of researchers from different universities aim to develop standardized code books and controlled vocabularies to structure the data and enable interlinking across collections. They discuss techniques like SPARQL and identifiers in Wikidata to retrieve and organize machine-readable data for future studies of body postures in artworks and web archives.

2. WG5: A data wrangling experiment
The process of formatting or restructuring raw data to suit specific needs

3. Interoperability
How can data across digital heritage collections be interlinked in machine-readable data?

4. A museum experiment
Creating a dataset that can give insights in body postures in early modern European art (1590-1709).

7. Getting the data
How to utilize a large-scale dataset with
artworks from the Rijksmuseum collection.

8. SPARQL
SPARQL (pronounced "sparkle") is a language to formulate
questions (queries) for knowledge databases.
This language enables to retrieve and manipulate data stored
in Resource Description Framework (RDF) format (Linked
Open Data).
Basic syntax:
SELECT ?variables from triples using a given pattern defined
after WHERE

Wiki data: Identifiers
Wikidata makes use of
identifiers for both internal
organization of the knowledge
base and for its connection to
other databases.

Describing the ideal dataset.

26. Code book
Describes the layout of the data in the dataset and what the data codes mean.

32. THE IDEA
To start a debate about:
› whether a shared vocabulary for archived web data is
needed at all
› how this can be done (in case it is needed)
› and, eventually, what it could look like
› Ulrich Have, in an email when WG5 was established: “a
standard data format would be interesting as a kind of
future requirements document for researcher-ready data”
