Dutch Ships and Sailors - Noordelijke Monsterrollen Databases as RDF

Dutch Ships and Sailors is a project that aims to provide an infrastructure for maritime historical datasets, linking correlating data through semantic web technology. It brings together datasets related to recruitment and shipping in the East-India trade (mainly 18th century) and in the shipping of the northern provinces of the Netherlands (mainly 19th century). For the northern provinces, the database contains data on the personnel recruited, the ships, and other variables (muster rolls of the northern provinces of the Netherlands). Dutch Ships and Sailors is a CLARIN IV-project, hosted by Huygens ING in collaboration with VU University Amsterdam, the International Institute of Social History and Scheepvaartmuseum Amsterdam. The data from this project are divided over 5 datasets. See the ‘Thematic collection: Dutch Ships and Sailors’ dataset for a full overview. This dataset is a conversion to RDF/Turtle of a previous data collection from Dutch northern muster rolls and mustering registers. These original sources contain information on the ship, the name of the ship, the captain, the crew, the tonnage, the data and place of monstering, and the ships destination. In the original sources this information is broken down in separate categories and is documented according to a standard format. The source data for this dataset were the Noordelijke Monsterollen Databases (MDB) (Northern Muster Rolls Databases) created by historian Jurjen Leinenga. These databases contain mustering information from the period 1803-1837 found in archives, maritime museums and private collections in the four northern Dutch provinces (Groningen, Friesland, Drenthe and Overijssel)

The data from this project are divided over 5 datasets. See the ‘Thematic collection: Dutch Ships and Sailors’ dataset for a full overview. This dataset contains the conversion to Linked Data of the mustering of ships and crew composition in Asian waters, the general sea muster rolls of the Dutch East India Company (VOC, as an RDF/Turtle version. It is based on a dataset created by Dr. M. van Rossum, Generale Zeemonsterrollen VOC (GZMVOC), containing data collected from archival records. References to the Dutch Asiatic Shipping (DAS) dataset are present through numerical IDs

Dutch Ships and Sailors is a CLARIN IV-project, hosted by Huygens ING in collaboration with VU University Amsterdam, the International Institute of Social History and Scheepvaartmuseum Amsterdam. This prioject resulted in the Dutch Ships and Sailors (DSS) data cloud. This Linked Data cloud brings together four Dutch maritime historical datasets, each with its own datamodel. The data is available as five-star linked data making sharing and reuse possible. The data is integrated at a meta-level through common vocabularies and linked to generic external data sources allowing for new types of queries and analysis. The first two datasets ("Generale Zeemonsterrollen VOC" and "Noordelijke Monsterollen Databases") are modeled and converted in close collaboration with the historical researchers responsible for the source datasets and we describe them in more detail. The third ("VOC Opvarenden") and fourth ("Dutch Asiatic Shipping") datasets are conversions of previously published historical datasets and are described less elaborately. They were converted with the help of the historians. These four datasets are mapped to a "DSS interoperability layer", which describes common classes, properties and concepts. Links between datasets have been established through either this interoperability layer or through converting references in the original data into explicit links. The data is made available in RDF/turtle format, but is also live served at http://dutchshipsandsailors.nl/data or http://semanticweb.cs.vu.nl/dss/ The five datasets of this project can be found via the links under 'relations'

Dutch Ships and Sailors - Dutch-Asiatic Shipping as RDF

Dutch Ships and Sailors is a project that aims to provide an infrastructure for maritime historical datasets, linking correlating data through semantic web technology. It brings together datasets related to recruitment and shipping in the East-India trade (mainly 18th century) and in the shipping of the northern provinces of the Netherlands (mainly 19th century). For the northern provinces, the database contains data on the personnel recruited, the ships, and other variables (Monsterrollen Noordelijke Nederlanden). Dutch Ships and Sailors is a CLARIN-IV-project, hosted by Huygens ING in collaboration with VU University Amsterdam, the International Institute of Social History and Scheepvaartmuseum Amsterdam. The data from this project are divided over 5 datasets. See the ‘Thematic collection: Dutch Ships and Sailors’ dataset for a full overview. Between 1595 and 1795 the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and its predecessors before 1602 equipped more than 4,700 ships to sail from the shores of the Netherlands bound for Asia. More than 3,400 ships made the return voyage home. The reference work, ‘Dutch-Asiatic Shipping in the 17th and 18th centuries’ from 1987, by J. R. Bruijn, F. S. Gaastra and I. Schöffer with assistance from A.C.J. Vermeulen, has classified these voyages on which Dutch trade between Europe and Asia was founded in a systematic survey. This dataset is a conversion to Linked Data, to RDF/Turtle, of the digitized version of this publication, the Dutch-Asiatic Shipping (DAS) dataset hosted at Huygens ING, http://resources.huygens.knaw.nl/das/index_html_en
