Our best data for Book History.

This is our best bibliographic data from the Book History journal; created from raw data provided by JSTOR DFR.

This dataset, as of July 2017, includes information about 103 articles from Book History. Of those 103 articles, approximately 55 have been enhanced with hand-coded XML data adapted from the TEI MsDesc module by Meaghan Brown, Jessica Otis, and Rikk Mulligan. This enhanced data includes information about the sources cited (including authors, publishers, publication dates, shelfmarks, repositories, and institutions).

Unenhanced data contains basic top-level bibliographical information for each article (i.e., title, author name, publication date, volume, page numbers.)

Paige Morgan was responsible for converting both enhanced and unenhanced data to triples, adding it to this repository, and developing the sample queries/data views (see below for more information). (Please direct any questions about queries or requests for specific queries to Paige at paige.c.morgan@gmail.com)

The IdEMB project is driven by questions about how authors cite the materials they use, especially individually-specific editions. Libraries and archives identify these editions using shelfmarks (i.e. IDNOs). Many journals discourage authors from including shelfmarks in their citations -- thus rendering citation data less accurate -- but many authors find ways of including shelfmarks and indications that they used individually-specific copies anyway.

There are several pre-written SPARQL queries that you can use to explore this data. For example, the "Authors who cite IDNOs" query returns information about the specific instances when shelfmarks have been cited.

The "Basic Keyterm View with Regex" allows you to return articles that have been indexed with a particular keyword. The default keyword is "reader," but you can change it by typing directly into the query window.

Similarly, several of the queries use DOIs for a particular article. If you have the DOI for another article from Book History, you can substitute that DOI. To get a list of all the DOIs in the project, use the Basic DOI view query.
