- 13. 13 @BL_Labs @BL_DigiSchol @GLAM_labs #bldigital Project Goals: •To produce a dataset that would be useful to researchers of travel –Literary scholars –Historians –Geographers •Add enough supplementary details for these researchers to use as indexes –‘Travel’ term used –Cities/Countries/Continents visited
- 14. 14 @BL_Labs @BL_DigiSchol @GLAM_labs #bldigital Process – Extraction • Python script used to detect ‘travel’-related terms in titles and extract these indexes into a separate .csv file • Terms like ‘travel’, ‘trip’, ‘voyage’, ‘expedition’ used • Python package called Vocabulary used to receive above terms as inputs and return a list of synonyms • Python library called “Word Forms” used on resulting list to return conjugations – ‘travel’ ‘travellers’, ‘traveling’, ‘travels’
- 15. 15 @BL_Labs @BL_DigiSchol @GLAM_labs #bldigital Process – Cleaning • Inconsistencies in data: eg. ‘london’ and ‘London’ • Superfluous symbols included under “date”, “datefield”, “corporate”, “authors”, “shelfmarks”, “pdf”, and “imgs” columns • Such errors replaced and cleaned using OpenRefine • Inclusion of synonyms resulted in the extraction of unrelated titles – “The Stupid Boy an Instructive Story, etc. in Verse” – “Aunt Betsy’s Training” • Words like ‘voyage’ and ‘tour’ returned French results - such titles cleaned manually as much as possible
- 16. 16 @BL_Labs @BL_DigiSchol @GLAM_labs #bldigital Process – Supplementary Data • Place names extracted and allocated under separate columns –Continents, Countries, States, Cities, Capitals • Individual words in titles compared to lists of world countries, states in the US, cities and capitals downloaded from the internet • If a word was present in the lists, it would be allocated under the column of the respective category

Notas do Editor
- The BL Labs learning and teaching award celebrates quality learning experiences created for learners of any age and ability that use the Library's digital content. I am going to highlight 5 entries from these categories.
- Previous winners include: 'Library Carpentry' by James Baker et al (2016) - a series of courses, methodologies and tools to introduce programming to Library staff based on British Library data. 'Vittoria's World of Stories' by Vittoria Primary School (2017) - collecting and sharing traditional tales from around the world and creative work by pupils through workshops, the production of a book, school assemblies, readings and performances, and via the creation of audio, text and images for the school website. The illustrations for the project are drawn from the British Library’s Flickr collection which are displayed alongside pupils’ artwork. Pocket Miscellanies by Jonah Coman, Glasgow School of Art (2018) a delightful collection of ten online pocket-book ‘zines, featuring images of medieval manuscripts, many taken from the British Library’s digitised manuscripts collection. Each pocket book explores visual representations of specific aspects of medieval life, especially people from disenfranchised communities that are perhaps less often highlighted.
- Tim has been working on this project since 2010 in which he created an online interactive atlas of the world’s threatened indigenous and minority writing systems. He is also taking as inspiration an invention from the British Library’s Heritage Made Digital team—the alphabetical sudoku—and extending it, to create sudoku puzzles in a wide variety of endangered writing and number systems. These will be added to the Atlas of Endangered Alphabets as a light-hearted way of tackling unfamiliar scripts, but will also be offered to people undertaking script/language revitalization projects across the world to use as teaching tools.
- A group of RCA postgraduate students were immersed in life story recordings from the British Library collections, developing creative uses and responses for an exhibition using sound, textile and holographic art, film, soundscapes, virtual reality and 3D installations.
- This project sets about getting a group of undergraduate students to produce a dataset of around 3000 "travel literature" (c. 3,000 records) extracted from around 50,000 digitised books from 19th Century collection. The work included cleaning and reformatting of the original data and supplying additional metadata to enrich the final curated dataset. This was created as part of the undergraduate Arts and Sciences (BASc) degree at University College London in the Information through the Ages module taught by Sara Wingate Gray.
- A prototype augmented reality story of the journey of a female convict sent to Australia, using aggregated data from the British Library and elsewhere. The narrative is nonfiction, and developed through data derived from the British Newspaper Archive and digitised East India Office ships’ logs. There is a an aim to provide even more contextual data using the 19th century digitised books. There are also link to other sources: Trove, Old Bailey Online and the Digital Panopticon, to show how the narrative of a single life can be traced through a large number of datasets and across thousands of miles.
