title | About the Derrida Archive project |
---|
|
In March 2015, Princeton University acquired the personal library of Algerian-born French philosopher Jacques Derrida (1930-2004). Of the roughly 16,000 published books and other items in the library, a significant number have been heavily annotated, and many bear personal dedications to Derrida from other philosophers and theorists. Princeton is creating linked data descriptions for a set of these items, which involves participating in the development of a Rare Materials Ontology Extension with an emphasis on modeling annotations, evaluating linked data creation tools, and making the resulting RDF data set available to scholars who are interested in studying Derrida’s social and intellectual networks.

Pre-project activities (prior to Apr. 2016)
- Formed core group within Library Technical Services Dept. and scheduled weekly meetings
- Did initial modelling for annotations, investigate applicability of World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Annotation Data Model
- Manually created 45 sample annotations in turtle format
- Prototyped an annotation creation tool
- Consulted with Princeton University Center for Digital Humanities (CDH)

Phase 4/4 (Oct. 2017-Jun. 2018)Logistics and Planning Collaboration Data creation - Completed and published preliminary dataset (https://github.com/pulcams/ld4p)
Completed in-house, project-specific annotation editor (https://github.com/pulcams/annotation_editor) - Thoroughly reviewed and analyzed data creation to date
Formed Derrida Dedications Encoding Committee, comprised of 10 professionalcatalogers Encoded annotations for 450 dedications Beganaddressing issues within these annotations (e.g. dates without years, illegible text, etc.)
Self-learning / Training Outreach Other Met with visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study, Will Hanley (Florida State University), who is working with linked data and an ontology of the historical Middle East, to discuss the potentials and challenges of linked data within the digital humanities
Phase 3/4 (Apr. 2017-Sep. 2017)Logistics and Planning Met with University Librarian Anne Jarvis to discuss next steps toward linked data initiatives at Princeton University Library
Met with Systems Application Development Team to discuss linked data related collaboration
Collaboration Hosted LD4P ontology extension group April 3-4 Attended community and partner meetings at Stanford University April 24-28 Participated in Rare Materials / ArtFrame calls - Hosted Phil Schreur for a day-long in-person meeting
- Attended Oct SHARE-VDE meeting
Began working with vitrolib developer at Cornell
Data creation Completed double-blind transcription of sample dedications Completed reconciliation of both transcriber’s dedications Completed first steps toward entification / data cleanup - Converted titles with existing MARC records to BF2
- Created MARC for titles without existing records
- Prepared an in-house annotation editor for use in Phase 4

...
(Apr.-Sept. 2016)Logistics and Planning Created private GitHub wiki for Princeton internal documentation Scheduled bi-weekly LD4P workshops for the core group Outlined plans for Oct.-Dec. 2016, the first half of Phase 2
Collaboration Expanded core group to include local Rare Books staff Consulted with library IT staff Consulted with faculty stakeholder in French and Italian Dept. Met with the LD4P Project Manager during on-site visit
Data creation Created proposal for imaging relevant pages from a sample of ~500 annotated books Selected 525 objects from Derrida's library for digitization Initiated process of hiring student help for the transcription of annotations in Phase 2
Modelling Participated in collaborative LD4P Rare Materials ontology calls Participated in LD4All Ontology Alignment Calls Worked on modelling of annotations, seeking input from members of the Web Annotation Working Group
