Projects using Contextualization:


  • Voices of the Holocaust:

  • Encyclopedia of Chicago History

  • Swinburne Project

  • Phyllis Wheatley Poems (uses xslt, javascript,php, css)

  • Early American Foreign Database

  • Transcribe Bentham project (very cool)

      • Contextual information

      ID'ing things and names in text: places, people, books, etc.

      Info about things named in text, such as birth dates, geo locations, date published, etc., can be placed in separate orthographies, with links from texts to entries in ographies

      Interpretive info, such as themes, keywords, and thematic interpretations, can also be placed in ographies

      P5 allows for linked data

      Ographies: personography, placeography, bibliography

      element – referring element. E.g. that owner
