Abraham Bredius’ seminal work Künstler-Inventare contains over 150 inventories of artists’ possessions in the Dutch Republic. However, this rich source has never been fully transformed into datasets, partially because Bredius was selective in his transcriptions of artists’ inventories with a focus on paintings. To fill this gap and to overcome Bredius’ biases, the Virtual Interior project assembled and transcribed 46 inventories of artists’ and art dealers’ homes in 17th-century Amsterdam. The selection of the inventories was based on three criteria: 1) The artists’ and art dealers’ inventories in my sample were drawn up during an artist’s lifetime or shortly after his death; 2) the inventories listed goods arranged by room; 3) the original documents of the inventories can still be traced in the Amsterdam City Archives. Forty-six inventories were selected and transcribed from the original sources or copied from existing publications. The majority of my samples can be found in the notarial archives (Archive nr. 5075) and the rest in the Archive of the Chamber of Insolvency (Desolate Boedel kamer, Archive nr. 5072), both preserved in the Amsterdam City Archives. Starting with the published inventories, Bart Reuvekamp from our project team traced them back to the original sources in the archive, transcribed centuries-old handwritten pages, and compiled the listed objects in digital form. In this way, our database is able to encompass all belongings present in painters’ workshops, filling in the blanks that Bredius and other authors neglected or chose to leave out – the missing information that once hindered our comprehension of how artists organized their studios. The dataset is organized as follows: 1_Intro_and_data_explanation.xlsx introduces the dataset and explains the columns in the following files 2_Inventory_list.csv hosts the details of the inventories in this dataset 3_Inventory_items.csv contains the full transcriptions and categorical data of the objects in the inventories 4_Inventory_relationships.csv captures all the people mentioned in the inventories in the pre- or postscript and/or as debtors or creditors 5_Inventory_category_reference.csv provides a reference table for the ‘object_type’ and ‘object_category’ columns in 3_Inventory_items.csv 6_Inventory_subjectmatter_reference.csv offers a reference table for the ‘painting_subject’ and ‘painting_genre’ columns in 3_Inventory_items.csv NB: This Künstler-Inventare database is a provisional version. The correction and final data process has not been fully finished in Version 1. The transcriptions might contain errors and need to be treated with caution.

This dataset accompanies Wright et al. (2022): Influence of long-term changes in solar irradiance forcing on the Southern Annular Mode, Climate of the Past. This dataset contains: Solar constant experiments: monthly files for sea level pressure (psl), surface stress east (tax), surface stress north (tay), screen temperature (tsc), and temperature at X pressure (t[0-18]) for solar constant experiments, specifically control S+1 S+3 S+7 S+35 S-3 S-7 S-15 Transient experiments: sea level pressure (psl) and screen temperature (tsc) files covering 1-2000 CE using: Steinhilber_x2 solar forcing (monthly files) Shapiro solar forcing (monthly files) These transient experiments are run as an Orbital-Greenhouse gases-Solar forcing experiment, and complement Phipps et al. (2013) (https://zenodo.org/record/3908927)

Dataset, codebase and datacard for the research project: Unsilencing Colonial Archives.

Pre-release

Datasets underlying the analysis of the paper "Memecry: Tracing the Repetition-with-Variation of Formulas on 4chan/pol/ This upload includes the following: seedwords.csv: A .csv file with terms we used as a seed list to filter for 4chan/pol/-post containing vernacular. seedword-network_x.gdf/gephi: .gdf and .gephi network files for NPMI-weighted co-word networks of /pol/-posts. We only included posts that contained one of the aforementioned seed list words. twoflow-data_x.xlsx: .xlsx files with data on triplets common to 4chan/pol/. We identified these three-word sequences through the above network files. For example: "gr8 b8 m8", "orange man bad", "lurk moar newfag". The Excel data on these triplet includes: The absolute amount of /pol/-posts per year mentioning the triplets (within a window of five words). The average NPMI scores between the three triplet words per year. The top co-words per year having an average NPMI higher than 0.18 with two of the three triplet words. triplets.csv: A .csv file with the extracted triplets, including their common appearance as memetic phrases and a short explanation. This data was used for "two-flow graphs" available at oilab.eu/formulas/. See the paper for full explanations on the data.

In 2018 the IPERION-CH Grounds Database was presented to examine how the data produced through the scientific examination of historic painting preparation or grounds samples, from multiple institutions could be combined in a flexible digital form. Exploring the presentation of interrelated high resolution images, text, complex metadata and procedural documentation. The original main user interface is live, though password protected at this time. Work within the SSHOC project aimed to reformat the data to create a more FAIR data-set, so in addition to mapping it to a standard ontology, to increase Interoperability, it has also been made available in the form of open linkable data combined with a SPARQL end-point. A draft version of this live data presentation can been found Here. This is a draft data-set and further work is planned to debug and improve its semantic structure.This deposit contains the CIDOC-CRM mapped data formatted in XML and an example model diagram representing some of the key relationships covered in the data-set. Live access to this data, with documentation and worked examples, can be found at: https://rdf.ng-london.org.uk/sshoc

ONSTAGE is the online data repository for Amsterdam’s first and most prominent public theatre venue: the Schouwburg. Currenty the database contains all programs from 1638 until 1940. All data is available on the Web as Linked Open Data in the RDFa format. The file stored here, contains all data in the N-triples RDF serialization format.
