The poet John Byrne Leicester Warren, later 3rd and last Baron de Tabley, of Tabley near Knutsford, Cheshire,
was born in 1835, the son of the 2nd Baron de Tabley (1811-1887), and his wife, Catherina. His mother was Italian,
the daughter of the count de Soglio, and Warren spent much of his early childhood with her in Italy and Greece. He
was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford. At Oxford he published a volume of poetry. Originally he
published under the pseudonyms George F. Preston (1859-1862) and William Lancaster (1863-1868), but latterly
under his own name.

Scope and Content
</HEAD>

The collection consists mainly of the personal papers of the 3rd Baron de Tabley. The papers reflect his interests in
literature, politics, botany and numismatics and include correspondence with numerous prominent later Victorian
figures. Attention should also be drawn to de Tabley’s extensive and important collection of armorial bookplates.


Correspondents include Sir Mountstuart Grant Duff, Edmund Gosse, Lord Houghton, A.C.Benson, and Robert
Bridges. There are volumes of Tabley's essays and verse, as well as a considerable number of notebooks and
loose manuscripts of verse and other writings. There are various bundles and boxes relating to
"Coins", "Botany", "Poetry", "Literary", "Financial"
and bookplates.

– Extracting both creators and referenced CPF names
• Match EAC-CPF records against one another
and against existing authority records (ULAN,
VIAF, LCNAF)
(ULAN)
• Create a prototype historical resource and access
system
– Links to archive, library, and museum resources (by

The Problem
• Proliferation of the forms of names
– Different names for the same person
– Different people with the same names

• Examples
– from Books in Print (semi-controlled but not
consistent)
– ERIC author index (not controlled)

Library and Archive Authority

• Library (or bibliographic) authority control is almost
exclusively about the control of names
• Archival authority control involves biographical-
historical description of the CPF entity
– Descriptions based on controlled vocabularies, for
example, occupations, place of birth and death
– But also biographical-historical description
• Prose
• Chronological list
• Archival authority control provides context for
understanding records, the context of their
creation, the provenance

Connect Exact Matches
• The EAC-CPF records provide the names
without having to parse texts, etc.
• Allows us to use some simple methods like
exact matching
– Assume identical name entries means the
same person/corporate body/family
– Enter the full names and record IDs into a
database and flag IDs with same names for
merging

DLF 2012 - Denver
2012-11-04 - SLIDE

But…
• Exact merging assumes that archives are
following LC cataloging practice in their
EAD records
– There are some problems with this assumption

DLF 2012 - Denver
2012-11-04 - SLIDE

Some failures for merging…
• Different abbreviations:
– A. & G. Carisch & C.
– A. & G. Carisch & Co.
• And spacing issues:
– A. C. Peters & Bro.
– A. C. Peters & Brother.
– A. C. Peters. (??)
– A. C.Peters & Bro.
• Completeness and alternate rules
– Tabb, John B. (John Banister), 1845-1909.
– Tabb, John Banister, 1845-1909.
• Also differing transliterations for non-Latin scripts

More…
• Variant romanizations (and spacing):
– M. P. Belaieff.
– M. P. Belaïeff.
– M. P. Bieliaev.
– M.P. Belaïeff.
– M.P.Belaïeff.
• Initials vs. names:
– Zabolotskii, N.A.
– Zabolotskii, Nikolai Alekseevich, 1903-1958.
– Zabolotskii.

• Various combinations:

– Tchaikovsky, Piotr Ilyich.
– Tchaikovsky, Pyotr Il.
– Tchaikovsky, Pyotr Ilyich.

Search Authority Files
• For each name, formulate a search of the
VIAF database using the Cheshire system
(SGML/XML retrieval system with
probabilistic and Boolean matching)
– Search both the “authoritative” and “non-
authoritative” forms
– Consider any name matching a non-
authoritative form to be a candidate match for
the authoritative form
– Flag EAC records that match the same
authority record as potential matches

Merge Flagged Records
• For all of the exact matches and authority
matches
– Use the Authoritative form of the name
– Combine data from each match into a single
EAC-CPF record
– Retain all source record IDs and information

• Finally, output the merged EAC-CPF
records

• NWDA: 24952 EAC-CPF records derived from

Merging Conclusions
• There will not be a single merging method,
but a staged set of approaches that will
allow us to go from the simplest exact
matches, to (we hope) reliably identifying
various variant forms of a name, etc. when
corroborated by contextual (date, etc.)
information

Next
• Developing an updateable database of
merged EAC data (dumping Mongo for
PostgreSQL)
– Will permit incremental addition of new data
and support editing and “forced” merges
• Process the 2M WorldCat archival
descriptions
• Process the 150,000 finding aids
• Convert several hundred thousand archival
authority records into EAC-CPF and match/
merge process

– Extracting both creators and referenced CPF names
• Match EAC-CPF records against one another and
against existing authority records (ULAN, VIAF,

• Create a prototype historical resource and

Meet the target users
Personas are fictional characters created to represent the different user types within a targeted demographic, attitude and/or behavior set that might use a site, brand
or product in a similar way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persona_(marketing)

• Randy: Graduate student working on a PhD that involves biographies and the study of diplomatic
families and networks. Sometimes he comes to the site looking for information on specific people; other
times he is looking for information on a specific subject or event. He also TAs an undergraduate history
class and sometimes has to help students find topics for papers. "

• Connie: Works at an institution that contributed records to the project. Is going to be asking
themselves how this site would be useful to their users. Wants to understand how their records were
used and what the added value is."

• Quincy: Library School Student working to QA record matching. "
• Adele: Person doing authority work during collection processing. "
• Lenny: Lenny likes linked data, and wants to be able to mine the links that have been established
programatically.

Tinkerpop graph database stack

• Simple "property graph" model!

• "JDBC for graph databases" [SNAC is using Neo4J for

• XPath like "gremlin" for graph query!

• REST interfaces with "Rexster"!

• For me, this was 10 to 100 times easier than using RDF

• Linked Data / RDF

• Future Plans

What is Linked Open Data?

• w3c Semantic Web Technology Stack!

• Web of atomized Data, not a web of documents!

• RDF; OWL ontologies; SPARQL queries; triple/quad/quint
stores!

• httpRange14; content negotiation; CURIE!

• No restrictions on data use; free and easy license!

• Lenny wants it, but does Randy?

What is Linked Open Data?

• Getting to the good stuff!

• Blue underlined text!

• Pulling in data from multiple sources, in an intelligent
way, into a "document"!

• Understand and discover relationships!

• Open access for research, education, private study and
other fair use

My opinion on the use cases for w3c RDF tech

• Good for publishing data!

• Good for controlled vocabularies!

• Data models?!

• Most people with open source RDF-store type systems
do the real stuff with solr!

• Consider a graph database

Future Plans

• Conduct assessment activities involving members of target
audiences to establish mental model of users for design work!

• Scale interface to millions of names!

• Visualizations useful and integrated (network and geospatial)!

• Stable URLs between batches for linked data!

• Social and personalization features (gateway to crowdsourcing)!

• Integration with local systems (such as with the context widget)
