Starting in October 2021, this wiki will gradually be populated with data as part of [http://beyondnotability.org/ a wider project] that is re-evaluating of women's work in archaeology, history and heritage between 1870 and 1950.

== Our objectives ==
 
The goals of this wiki are to:
 
:Investigate and expand the evidence base for women's past archaeological, historical and heritage work by developing a linked data ontology suited to capturing the full range and complexity of evidence contained in archives of the [https://www.sal.org.uk/ Society of Antiquaries of London] (SAL) and the [https://www.royalarchinst.org/ Royal Archaeological Institute], mapping their links with each other and with other actors and sites beyond the SAL and RAI
 
This work is guided by a series of questions:
 
# How can inclusive cataloguing, reflexive modelling, and linked open data be used to define and highlight evidence of women's work in historical archives through the development of bespoke digital ontologies that conserve the complexity and specificity of the information they contain?
# How can the SAL/RAI archives be catalogued so as to render women's activities optimally discoverable and to track them through the archives and collections of other cultural institutions?
# How can linked data modelling of women's archaeology, history and heritage work enrich quantitative macro-analyses of cultural-institutional datasets?
# How can LOD enhance research into histories of women and other subaltern actors by enabling complex archival queries?

Beyond Notability: Re-evaluating Women's Work in Archaeology, History and Heritage, 1870 – 1950

Since October 2021 this Wikibase has been gradually populated with linked data as part of a wider project that is re-evaluating of women's work in archaeology, history and heritage between 1870 and 1950.

We are learning as we are going, and - line with our values - we are doing that learning in public so as to respond to community input and contributions. This means that our knowledge graph is a living resource, and that any results derived from it will - until we publish a "final" dataset towards the close of the project in 2024 - be provisional.

Our objectives

The goals of this wiki are to:

Investigate and expand the evidence base for women's past archaeological, historical and heritage work by developing a linked data ontology suited to capturing the full range and complexity of evidence contained in archives of the Society of Antiquaries of London (SAL) and the Royal Archaeological Institute, mapping their links with each other and with other actors and sites beyond the SAL and RAI

This work is guided by a series of questions:

  1. How can inclusive cataloguing, reflexive modelling, and linked open data be used to define and highlight evidence of women's work in historical archives through the development of bespoke digital ontologies that conserve the complexity and specificity of the information they contain?
  2. How can the SAL/RAI archives be catalogued so as to render women's activities optimally discoverable and to track them through the archives and collections of other cultural institutions?
  3. How can linked data modelling of women's archaeology, history and heritage work enrich quantitative macro-analyses of cultural-institutional datasets?
  4. How can LOD enhance research into histories of women and other subaltern actors by enabling complex archival queries?
