Indexing translation new
Libraries use different vocabularies for indexing of literature. By means of the mapping between Schlagwortnormdatei and Standard-Thesaurus Wirtschaft descriptors from STW can be translated into SWD indexing suggestions. This is demonstrated by our simple example application, which builds on the STW Web Services.
STW Web Services extended
STW Web Services utilise the data of the Standard Thesaurus for Economics (with its mappings to other vocabularies), JEL and a "economics subset" of the German personal names authority file (PND) for autosuggest functions or retrieval applications. Semantic Web technologies (SPARQL, SKOS etc) do the heavy lifting in the background. Examples (STW/JEL, Econ_PND) demonstrate their function and use on HTML pages with Javascript.
Scientific papers at a glance
In our repository EconStor we are hosting more than 25.000 full texts from the last 20 years. With this holding, we have developed an application for calculating and visualizing the weighing of keywords. Please be patient.
Automatic Indexing: ZBW Indexer
Applying automatic methods of indexing makes analyzing and structuring of electronic content much easier and faster. This is why we are in the process of testing a statistics-based automatic indexing method. By means of our STW Thesaurus for Economics, the ZBW Indexer generates possible keywords from any economic text. Try it out yourself in our Labs application!
20th Century Press Archives
Here you can find the historical press clippings archives of the ZBW as Linked Open Data. Nearly 7,000 dossiers on individual persons and companies with more than 250,000 press clippings and company reports can be made addressable and citable down to page level. They can be viewed comfortably with the DFG viewer and are linked to data in the Linked Data Cloud.
WiWi-Werkbank
WiWi-Werkbank uses Web 2.0 tools to present literature lists and other document selections on current topics in economics (in German).
JEL Classification for Linked Data
The classification of the "Journal of Economic Literature" is widely used not only by Anglo-American economists. The ZBW has converted this classification into Linked Data. We have also begun to create a cross-concordance between the JEL and the STW classifications, which is already available for the first levels here (as PDF) (in German).
About ZBW Labs
ZBW Labs offers a view into our workshop. We present our newly developed innovative applications and services that are not yet ready for regular operation. They are prototypes and beta versions under continuous development and improvement, based on the latest technologies and still experimental.
You are invited to discover and to test new services in the ZBW Labs. We are looking forward to your questions, comments and suggestions.
