This week I’ve finished a big overhaul of the wiki. Changes include:
- there’s now an external identifier for the The Scotland, Scandinavia and Northern European Biographical Database (SSNE). This free to view database created by Steve Murdoch and Alexia Grosjean is a very important source for the earlier careers of many civil war officers.
- there’s a simple entity to represent blank pages in a manuscript. This is easier to use and less cumbersome than using the full data structures designed for manuscript texts or sections.
- behind the scenes, some of the properties have been simplified. This won’t make any noticeable difference at the front end but it does affect the RDF output and writing custom queries.
- documentation on property pages should all be up to date now.
- battles and sieges have been overhauled yet again, and I think I’m finally satisfied. More details of this below.
