Re: [Indic-texts] Jaina-Prosopography

20 May 2018

      Dear friends,

I apologize for only now joining this list and this important conversation. Let me add a few quick notes to this thread, and say that I am happy to respond in more detail to any comments in the coming days.

Peter: I very much agree with Dominik that it is better not to start from Zero, when panditproject.org http://panditproject.org/ is available and ready to receive data about texts, people, places, manuscripts, etc., and many of their complex interrelations https://www.panditproject.org/entity/97199/info. Pandit is constantly updated and improved (I see that five new entities were entered just yesterday, to give a random example), and new features https://www.panditproject.org/articles are added at a rather fast rate. For instance, we just introduced our first export button (in CSV, more are in the planning process), we are working on a large revision of our fields for textual reuse, we just revamped our fields for manuscript extracts (in connection with our import of data for a thousand manuscripts from the BORI descriptive catalog), and so on. The big advantage of combining data sets is, of course, that every new item is immediately related to the larger matrix. This matrix is, in the end, our best research tool, even as I fully agree that new tools need to be created to make better use of it. The basic matrix, and over 50,000 related entities, are already in place. Another advantage is the fact that there is already a small but active community working on Pandit in different parts of the globe (and by the way: Pandit does not belong to any person or to any institution—it belongs to the community).

I also agree that Pandit is far from perfect, and that there is, indeed, much to improve. In fact, there is so much more to do, and it would be certainly easier if we did so together. We at Pandit are very open to concrete suggestions on every level, so if you’d like, you can write me with a wish-list of top-priority features, and we can see how we can implement them. 

That said, I also realize that everyone would like to work with Pandit, or at least not solely with Pandit. So I suggest that if you do create your own database, we should look at ways for integrating them, or protocols that will allow items entered into one platform to be also added to the other. At any rate, I recommend that you create an account and test the system firsthand, by adding or editing a few entities. It has come a long way since we have last been in touch.

Happy to hear your concrete suggestions and criticism!

Dear Peter, yes, I remember our conversation.  I regret that other voices
were louder for you then, and that they have prevailed now.
You could still use Pandit and work with Yigal and his team to get it
exporting triples.  That would be fantastic for everyone, a real benefit
for the whole community working on Indian prosopography.
Your remark about TEI tells me that you haven't really looked into it.  The
TEI is not an off-the-shelf set of tags to rummage through and be
disappointed because it doesn't define *gaccha*.  It is a framework for
*defining* XML schemas.  IYes, it provides a lot of standard stuff already,
but the real point of TEI is that it is extensible.  You use it to define
the special tags that you actually need for your project.  For SARIT, for
example, we define many things like "adhy=C4=81ya" "vy=C4=81khy=C4=81" and =
so forth, as
subdivisions of a generic "part," because that's useful in expressing how
Sanskrit texts are structured.
I'm concerned, Peter, that by starting from zero with a highly complex
project you will pour effort into it and find in five or ten years that it
all has to be thrown away.  That is a very common experience in projects of
this kind.    I apologize for speaking so plainly, but my concern is born
of hard experience.  Witness the Woolner project, and many others.
Best,
Dominik

Dear Dominik,
We discussed the issues privately a year ago and we took many of your
extremely useful suggestions on board.
As highlighted in the articles, the triplestore data of the JP will be
made available free to use by anyone once the download functions and
webpage are installed. I wish this was the case all around especially in
India where Jaina electronic datasets are as difficult to access as the
Jaisalmer bhandar.
The most interesting answer I received so far to the standard question as
to the long term viability of databases (for the JP guaranteed by Sheffie=
ld
DHI) was the one of GabrieI Bodard at Senate House. I think he is right i=
n
saying that the only procedure that preserved texts in the past and will
preserve electronic data over time is copying. No super database or
web-portal will ever emerge and be able to survive over time (maybe apart
from the internet itself). Building in options for linking purpose built
datasets at the point of development therefore seems to be the way to go.
The data mining software Gabriel developed is limited to the standard
categories of name, date, place etc. 'Stage two' prosopographies' however
require uniform data and often highly differentiated taxononomies for
specific purposes and require a great deal of case specific analysis.
Given permissions (!) it may be possible relatively easily to produce a
dataset of datasets through copying. But the emerging datasets will not b=
e
uniform and hence require massive work to be useful for stage two
prosopographies. I can presently not see how this can be handled without
hands on editorship. Since eternal editor roles are inconceivable some ki=
nd
of standard will have to emerge.
Solving the conundrum of finding a standard for coding Indian family name=
s
for library catalogues proved tricky and has been abandoned as far as I c=
an
see. In the articles I laid out the practical and theoretical issues we
faced as a memento of self-reflection but also in view of informing
(potential) collaborators on this specific project. I found Keats-Rohan's
book by far the most useful source for practical research with such tools=
.
She did not touch upon South Asian materials though.
On the addition problem how to operationalise patronage I didn't find muc=
h
useful information but I may have missed something. TEI has no useful
categories. Off the shelf does not always work for particular research
questions as well.
Clearly at least in South Asian Studies most work still lies ahead. We
need datasets comparable to the projects on the Roman materials of Mommse=
n
etc. (which are still not digitally available, certainly not in state two
prosopographical format). Pandit is fabulous but did not provide the tool=
s
for instigating the research questions informing the JP project. Otherwis=
e
I would have indeed simply requested Yigal to permit putting data in and
computing them as suggested by you. I am not aware of a sociologically
oriented stage-two prosopography in South Asian studies at present and
cannot be sure whether in a limited way the JP will succeed realising thi=
s
aim. It also is a pilot study. But its data can be copied ad we learn qui=
te
a lot about the structure of the Jaina data in the process of analysis.
Sigh...

Dear Peter,
Can I suggest in the strongest terms that the Jaina prosopography projec=
t
uses the Pandit http://panditproject.org prosopography system for
managing its data? Many of us are interested in the same kinds of questi=
on,
and it is critically important that we share data.  If we all go off in
corners and re-invent the wheel, we will set back our field by decades.
Pandit isn't perfect.  It may not even meet all your needs, although I
suspect you will be surprised by how much it does do for a project such =
as
yours.  However, Yigal and the team who created and maintain Pandit are
actively developing it and they are very open to technical suggestions (=
and
money!).  I am in such a dialogue myself right now, with one of their
system programmers who lives in Brazil.
It is easy to underestimate the difficulty of creating a sound tool for
serious prosopographical work.  Pandit is itself the third iteration of =
the
project.  It started as a Windows-based Filemaker Pro project.  That bec=
ame
unusable after a certain volume of data was added.  Then it was ported t=
o
MySQL running on a Linux base.  That was more robust, but also had
drawbacks due to leftover features from the earlier Windows mess.  Final=
ly,
Yigal had the whole thing rewritten again in the light of everything we =
had
learned and ported the very considerable volume of data forward to the n=
ew
system.   Since then, even more author/work/manuscript data and
bibliographical material has been added.
Looking at your Jaina prosopography paper, all the "methodological
issues" you raise in sections 3 and the onomastic issues in section 4 we=
re
faced and mostly solved by the Philobiblon
http://bancroft.berkeley.edu/philobiblon/ project, many years ago, in
the context of Iberian prosopography.  A major part of that thinking
informs Pandit.
The basic fact is that systems such as this become exponentially more
useful as more data is added.  What you add links to what has been added
before.  New relationships are discovered, time is saved by not entering
the same data repeatedly and this, in turn, leads to a major gain in
accuracy.  (A public genealogical system that demonstrates this kind of
crowdsourced cooperation-gain superbly is geni.com.)
If you decide not to put your project's data in Pandit, then I hope you
will produce a compelling document explaining why not.  It will be very
useful to the Pandit team for their own future consideration.

Dominik
