Classification of Primary Sources ICreating the Sigla
Matteo V. d´Alfonso, Barbara K. Saile
The first requirement for a body of documents to be accessed is to classify it
NEEDS:1. to identify unambigously our objects of study2. to be able to refer to them in editions, commentaries, articles
Classification is the creation of a system of one to one indicators (signatures, page
numbers etc). Its result is a catalogue
to the subject•Still Life (SL), •Portraits (P),•Town Landscapes (TL), •Bucolic Landscapes (BL), •Various (V)
He orders them according:
to the year: 1955-1978
to a progressive number in the year.
Paintings named like follows:
•Still life with fish, 1968•Harvest, 1967•The new Ternopil, 1973•Tatjana, 1972 •Intern of a Bar, 1975
Will get sigla like these:
SL-1968,17BL-1967,4TL-1973,21P-1972,5V-1975,2
In the world of the paper, archivists and librarians name folders, number manuscripts folios, gives signatures to books, stick labels on volumes etc.
Responsible for transposing this intellectual and practical operation into
the web are WE (with the help of Hyper)
WHO does the classification ?
We can either create a new classification
or adapt an old one.
that can co-define stable web addresses
URLs
Which is our GOAL ?
We have to establish and publish a system of unique identifiers
SIGLA
1. Choose one corpusaccording to your interests
2. Choose the level of granularity useful for you
•URLs
•Navigation Icon
•Contextuali-zation Pages3. Establish your classification
(new or imported)
4. Classify your corpusdown to the chosen level of granularity
5. Publish all the sigla
Hyper creates the URLs and the navigations tools through them
You establish the sigla and publish
them with the Help of a Web application in Hyper Environment:
FABRICA
Why is it called Fabrica?
The word Fabrica comes from the Latin word “faber” (blacksmith),
back then a fabrica was a blacksmith’s workshop
different meaning in the Renaissance: e.g. “Fabrica del duomo di Milano”,
a studio of artisans working together
Multi-user web application
NOTa desktop application
you just need I-net and a browser
We recommend to use Firefoxwww.firefox.com
freevery fast
less security problems
What can we do with Fabrica
Each Hyper has its own Fabrica
for creating scholarly editions and
publishing them on the web.
Fabrica is the Working Environment in Hyper
Advantages of Fabrica
It allows simultaneous, delocalized working
You only need an I-net connection and a browser
It allows continuous modifications of your work
before it is published in Hyper
Once published in Hyper „rien ne va plus“!
