MBI-KG: Replication package for a knowledge graph of structured and linked economic research data extracted from the 1937 book "Die Maschinen-Industrie im Deutschen Reich"

The replication package for the MaschinenBauIndustrie Knowledge Graph (MBI-KG) provides all necessary resources for reproducing the structured and semantically enriched dataset derived from the 1937 book “Die Maschinen-Industrie im Deutschen Reich.” This package includes the scanned images, OCR-extracted data, structured datasets, semantically enriched datasets, and scripts used for data transformation, semantic enrichment, and integration into the open-source knowledge graph platform. Documentation guides users through the entire replication process, from raw data extraction to knowledge graph generation. Please note that due to manual quality checks applied to the data, the bulk files included in this package may differ slightly from results generated solely using the provided scripts. These quality checks ensure enhanced data accuracy and reliability for users of the bulk files. The package also includes data export files in CSV, RDF (ttl), JSON, and NDJSON formats to ensure compatibility with various analytical tools, as well as SPARQL queries, API scripts, and bulk data downloads to support advanced querying and integration. This replication package promotes transparency and reproducibility, offering a valuable resource for researchers in economic history, digital humanities, and data science to further explore Germany's mechanical engineering industry in the early 20th century.
