PhiloBiblon and the Semantic Web. Notes for a Future History

Abstract

A technical history of the PhiloBiblon database of the primary manuscript and printed sources for the study of the vernacular literatures of medieval Iberia (Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, and Galician) from its beginning as a mainframe flat file database through its evolution as a PC-based relation database (Advanced Revelation) to its current status as a hybrid database (PC for data input), web for display (http://vm136.lib.berkeley.edu/BANC/philobiblon/). The article ends with a discussion of the possibilities for conversion of PhiloBiblon to an entirely web-based project based on evolving semantic web standards.
