WikiWARP: Wikibase Data Model for the Dean F. Echenberg War Poetry Collection

Abstract

With my field supervisor, I developed a data model for the description of creators represented in the Harry Ransom Center’s Dean F. Echenberg War Poetry Collection using the HRC's Wikibase test instance. As a proof of concept, this model is intended to link creators, places, languages, conflicts, occupations, and works on the library catalog. Currently, the library catalog does not allow users to search the collection by demographic information of the authors. The eventual goal is to allow for such querying by connecting the Wikibase instance to the library catalog, thus allowing for richer and more powerful querying for researchers.
