Public Archives in RDF

The State Archive of the Canton of Basel-Stadt acts as a memory of the state and the city. The rich collections reflect the history of Basel since the Middle Ages. Since 1999, the archive material has been accessed in an archive information system (scopeArchiv) and a digital reading room (DLS) is available for search and use (https://dls.staatsarchiv.bs.ch). The data set published here includes all publicly available information from the archive system, transformed into an RDF data model based on the archive-specific Ontologie Records in Context (RiC-O) (https://www.ica.org/standards/RiC/ontology). SPARQL endpoint for data retrieval: https://ld.staatsarchiv.bs.ch/sparql Documentation of the data model: https://github.com/Staatsarchiv-Basel-Stadt/StABS-scope2RDF/wiki The data set is constantly being developed. Both the mapping to RiC-O and the content can change, backward compatibility cannot be guaranteed. If a stable integration in services is planned, please contact us. The mapping for the transformation of the data to RDF is carried out primarily by R2RML (https://www.w3.org/TR/r2rml/) and downstream with SPARQL (Ω). All mappings can be found in the public repository StABS-scope2RDF (https://github.com/Staatsarchiv-Basel-Stadt/StABS-scope2RDF). The transformation takes place in an ETL pipeline (https://github.com/Staatsarchiv-Basel-Stadt/RDF-Pipeline) of the company Zazuko, whose source code is also public.巴塞尔城市州国家档案馆（State Archive of the Canton of Basel-Stadt）作为该州与城市的历史记忆载体，其丰富的馆藏全面反映了巴塞尔从中世纪以来的发展脉络。 自1999年起，该馆的档案资源已可通过档案信息系统（scopeArchiv）进行查阅，同时配套设有数字阅览室（Digital Reading Room，简称DLS）以供检索与使用，访问地址为https://dls.staatsarchiv.bs.ch。 本次发布的数据集包含档案系统中所有可公开获取的信息，并基于面向档案领域的上下文记录本体（Records in Context Ontology，简称RiC-O）转换为RDF数据模型，相关标准文档可参阅：https://www.ica.org/standards/RiC/ontology。 用于数据检索的SPARQL端点地址为：https://ld.staatsarchiv.bs.ch/sparql；数据模型的技术文档可在以下仓库查阅：https://github.com/Staatsarchiv-Basel-Stadt/StABS-scope2RDF/wiki。 该数据集处于持续迭代开发状态，其与RiC-O的映射规则及内容均可能发生变更，无法保证向后兼容性。若计划将该数据集稳定集成至业务系统中，请与我们取得联系。 本数据集向RDF格式的转换工作主要通过R2RML（https://www.w3.org/TR/r2rml/）实现，并辅以SPARQL完成下游处理。所有映射规则均可在公共代码仓库StABS-scope2RDF（https://github.com/Staatsarchiv-Basel-Stadt/StABS-scope2RDF）中获取。 该转换流程依托Zazuko公司开发的抽取-转换-加载（Extract-Transform-Load，简称ETL）管道完成，其源代码同样公开可及，相关仓库地址为https://github.com/Staatsarchiv-Basel-Stadt/RDF-Pipeline。
