Abstract:
In the Iri
sh Record Linkage 1864
-
1913 (IRL) project, digital arch
i-
vists transcribe digitized register p
ages containing vital records
into a database,
which is then used to generate RDF triples.
H
istorians then use those triples to
answer some specific research quest
ions on the IRL platform. Though the tr
i-
ples themselves are a highly valuable asset that can be adopted by many, the
digitized records and their RDF representations need to be adequately stored
and preserved according to best standards and guidelines to en
sure those do not
get lost over time. This was a problem currently not investigated within this
project. This paper reports on the
creation of
Qualified Dublin Core from those
triples
for
inge
st
ion with
the digitized register pages
in an adequate long
-
term
digital
preservation platform and repository. Rather than creating RDF
only
for
the purpose of this project, we demonstrate how we can distill artifacts from
the
RDF that is
fit for discovery, access, and even reuse via that repository and how
we elicit and conserve the knowledge and memories about Ireland, its history
and culture contained in those register pages
