Law versus Practice is now affiliated with the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland (VRTI) – a development that reflects the ongoing collaborative relationship between the two projects. LvP has been focusing on (re)structuring new and existing datasets; a process that has resulted in the creation a significant number of ‘person’ records (18,000+). Adhering largely to the VRTI schema, LvP will create UIDs for a significant proportion of these persons, and primarily women. These UIDs can in turn be incorporated into the VRTI Knowledge Graph. Dr Frances Nolan (PI) is currently focused on cleaning extant datasets, in order to extract accurate biographical data and mint UIDs. Importantly, LvP’s work in this area will help to identify and address issues that impede the most complete representation of women’s biographical data within structured databases.
