Amsterdam Diaries Time Machine

The Amsterdam Diaries Time Machine project is a public web application developed by the Amsterdam Time Machine at the University of Amsterdam. The goal of the project is to make the life narratives of ordinary people in Amsterdam more accessible and to strengthen the infrastructure for connecting a wide range of personal histories using open standards. In the first phase of the project, we focused on the diaries of six women living in Amsterdam during the Second World War.

For more information, please visit the project website: https://diaries.amsterdamtimemachine.nl/

Project Overview

Digital scans of the diaries are publicly available online, hosted by various heritage institutions. With the help of four student assistants, we transcribed the scans and tagged all instances of people, places, organizations, and dates within the transcriptions. These entities were subsequently linked to external datasets such as Adamlink (for places), Amsterdam City Archives (for people), and Wikidata (for all other places and people). Additionally, we tagged references to food and drinks as a thematic category.

All metadata associated with the diaries, including entries, transcriptions, and recognized entities, is modeled as Linked Open Data (RDF) using the schema.org and Web Annotation vocabularies. This structured data is integrated into the knowledge graph of the Amsterdam Time Machine, which powers the project website Amsterdam Diaries Time Machine, designed to showcase our findings to a broader audience.

Contributing and Replication

By providing access to these enriched personal documents and the pipeline that allows them to be further annotated and interlinked with other digital heritage, we encourage other projects and local time machines to replicate our approach and contribute to a web of interlinked cultural data.

  The Amsterdam Diaries Time Machine project is a public web
  application developed by the Amsterdam Time Machine at the
  University of Amsterdam. The project aims to make the life
  narratives of ordinary people in Amsterdam more accessible
  and to enhance the infrastructure for connecting diverse
  personal histories using open standards. In its first
  phase, the project focused on the diaries of six women who
  lived in Amsterdam during the Second World War.

  By providing access to these enriched personal documents
  and the pipeline that enables further annotation and
  interlinking with other digital heritage resources, we aim
  to inspire other projects and local time machines to adopt
  our approach and contribute to a web of interconnected
  cultural data.

  This dataset includes that data. All metadata associated
  with the diaries, including diary entries, transcriptions,
  and recognized entities, is modeled as Linked Open Data
  (RDF) using the schema.org and Web Annotation
  vocabularies. This structured data is integrated into the
  knowledge graph of the Amsterdam Time Machine, which
  powers the Amsterdam Diaries Time Machine website. The
  site is designed to present our findings to a broader
  audience.
