Data approaches
Mapping Authorities and Ontologies in Computational and Digital HPS
Computational and (big) data driven approaches are increasingly applied to many areas of the social sciences including history and philosophy of science (HPS) and we are beginning to yield novel insights as part of individual projects. However, coordinated authorities and ontologies are needed to integrate data across projects. This RCN addresses these challenges by conducting research and developing computational solutions to provide a structured representation of HPS knowledge.

RCN Working Group
Isis CB Meeting July 27-28, 2019 (following the History of Science Society July 23-27, 2019)
Location
De Rechtbank & Court Hotel at Korte, Nieuwstraat 14, Utrecht
This meeting will bring together a working group of collaborative editors for the IsisCB along with editors of closely related history of science and technology bibliographies in order to further the RCN goal of building a discipline-wide infrastructure for the sharing of data. The IsisCB is the largest ongoing bibliographical resource in discipline of history of science and medicine and several other bibliography editors are either currently working with the IsisCB or intend to; this network is the foundation of a data infrastructure that all members of the RCN can utilize. By linking our bibliographical and authority data, we will have achieved another significant milestone toward creating a comprehensive index of sources and concepts and building a network of authoritative full-text resources for computational analysis.
The goal will be to discuss the sharing of bibliographical and authority data and the use of multiple classification systems. During the meeting we will go over the current IsisCB import protocols and consider problem areas--both technical and conceptual with the aim of building a more robust and efficient ingestion engine. We will also focus on the challenge of integrating different tagging schemes and classification systems found in different bibliographies.
