Mapping Manuscript Migrations is an aggregator of linked open data on manuscript history and provenance: a Digging into Data project (2017–2020) that turned the Schoenberg Database, Bibale and Medieval Manuscripts in Oxford Libraries into one knowledge graph, recording the manuscript and the events of its history (white paper; JOHD; provenance census record).

🗂️ What it is

  • Sources: SDBM (240,000+ observations), Bibale (~13,000 records), Oxford (10,000+ XML documents) (JOHD); "NOT the Schoenberg Database itself" (census record).4↘
    Its data paper gives the result as three datasets "relating to the history and provenance of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts" transformed "into a unified knowledge graph" (Journal of Open Humanities Data, 11 June 2020; so its Goldsmiths record and the Zenodo deposit's card), and its documentation site says it "uses semantic technologies to unite records from three datasets" (documentation site).§2 The three are the Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts (Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies, Penn; more than 240,000 records of manuscript observations), Bibale (IRHT-CNRS; nearly 13,000 manuscript records) and Medieval Manuscripts in Oxford Libraries (the Bodleian; more than 10,000 XML documents) (JOHD), turned into Linked Open Data (white paper) in an environment built by Oxford's e-Research Centre and Aalto's Semantic Computing Group (San Diego).§4 The census record holds it apart from its largest source, "NOT the Schoenberg Database itself: it aggregates SDBM with Bibale and the Bodleian's catalogue," and records the Schoenberg Database as its part (provenance census record).§5 The registry records the Oxford catalogue named "the Medieval Manuscripts Catalogue" without Oxford, which two cards name "the Medieval Manuscripts Catalogue at the University of Oxford" (documentation site; San Diego), and checked the composition against the census record of the same day, which no card cites (Capture Registry, 2026-10-29).§24
  • Partners: Oxford, Penn (SIMS), IRHT, Aalto; Digging into Data, Round 4 (site; JOHD; EADH).1↘
    It was a partnership of four institutions, the University of Oxford (Oxford e-Research Centre and Bodleian Libraries), the Institut de recherche et d’histoire des textes, the University of Pennsylvania (Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies) and Aalto University (Semantic Computing Research Group), funded under Round 4 of the Trans-Atlantic Platform’s Digging into Data Challenge (4th round, 2016) and, partner by partner, by the ESRC, the ANR, the IMLS and the Academy of Finland (JOHD; EADH; documentation site), pooling expertise and data from four countries (San Diego), with Toby Burrows, Lynn Ransom, Eero Hyvönen and Hanno Wijsman as its project team (EADH); the census record names the four as operator, and the Capture Registry finds the composition's partners and funder the record's (provenance census record; Capture Registry, 2026-10-29).§6
  • Why: "an international view" (EADH); few cross-searches before it (white paper).1↘
    The project page written while it ran has it "linking disparate datasets from Europe and North America to provide an international view" (EADH; the data paper says the same), against a field of manuscript sources with "few methods of searching across these different sources," where the CERL Portal was discontinued "because its technological basis had become obsolete" (white paper).§3

🧬 Carrier and unit

  • Model: 20M+ RDF triples on CIDOC-CRM and FRBR, scoped to the sources' own entities (JOHD; white paper).2↘
    Its carrier is RDF: "more than 20 million RDF triples" mapped to an MMM Data Model that "combines classes and properties from CIDOC-CRM and FRBR, together with some specific MMM elements" (JOHD), in the census record's words "RDF mapped to a unified model drawing on CIDOC CRM and FRBRoo" (provenance census record), documented with its schema and transformation pipeline on the project's site, where "Each dataset’s original structure and format impacted the development and implementation of the MMM data model" (documentation site).§7 The white paper bounds the model: it "did not try to reflect the entire body of knowledge found in the published literature of manuscript research," its scope "determined pragmatically, with only the classes of entities and relationships identified in the source datasets being included" (white paper).§8
  • Unit: the manuscript, reconciled across sources; ownership, sales, place, works (census record).1↘
    What receives provenance is the manuscript: the census record's unit is "a manuscript, reconciled across three source databases," its relations "ownership", "sale and transfer events", "place" and "works contained" (provenance census record), drawn from sources whose units differ, Bibale (12,000 records in the white paper) taking "a single manuscript as the basic unit" and attaching "the evidence of its history to that record," the Schoenberg Database an "observation" of a manuscript in a catalogue (white paper), and reconciled through VIAF and TGN where possible and otherwise by manual comparison (JOHD).§10
  • Linked data: bounded spaces against a global graph (#317); completion by traversal (#359); governance that will "account for extraction" (#623).1↘
    Of linked data as a class the archive holds that where "the Semantic Web imagines a global graph of linked data," logotic programming proposes "bounded semantic spaces" that keep internal coherence without external compatibility (#317); that FRBR and Linked Data imply knowledge structures "designed to be incomplete, requiring traversal for semantic coherence," a triple in isolation being "semantically thin" (#359); and that the sustainability of linked data as a shared resource "requires governance mechanisms that account for extraction, not just access" (#623), after the AoIR panel's report, which #623 carries, of platform domination of linked data "weakening open content licenses" (#623).§9

📊 Scale and access

  • Count: 215,000+ (San Diego); 217,700 manuscripts with identifiers, 262,000 source records (white paper).4↘
    Its count is given several ways: "more than 215,000 medieval and Renaissance manuscripts" (San Diego, 2021); "more than 2167,000 manuscripts in total," as the data paper's introduction prints it beside its own "more than 217,700" (JOHD); and 217,700 manuscripts with identifiers, with 432,200 works, 4,700 places, 53,200 persons and organisations and 915,300 events, from "a combined total of 262,000 records" (white paper), the figures the census record carries as of the white paper (provenance census record).§13 The Capture Registry records that the composition at the name took its "over 215,000" from the San Diego card, while the record's figures are the white paper's (Capture Registry, 2026-10-29).§14 For manuscripts the data paper offers "the first dataset which creates a LOD identifier for a large number of manuscripts," matched to shelf-marks, while more than 23,100 actors (43%) and 470 places (10%) have no identifier in a general vocabulary (JOHD), and the white paper states the limit at the manuscript: no unique identifier exists, Phillipps numbers "matched nearly 9,000 manuscripts," and ISMI has made "only limited progress so far" (white paper).§15 The data are made available "under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license" (JOHD; white paper; provenance census record).§17
  • Identifiers: 43% of actors lack one; no unique manuscript identifier (JOHD; white paper).1↘
    For manuscripts the data paper offers "the first dataset which creates a LOD identifier for a large number of manuscripts," matched to shelf-marks, while more than 23,100 actors (43%) and 470 places (10%) have no identifier in a general vocabulary (JOHD), and the white paper states the limit at the manuscript: no unique identifier exists, Phillipps numbers "matched nearly 9,000 manuscripts," and ISMI has made "only limited progress so far" (white paper).§15
  • Access: LDF.fi SPARQL endpoint, the semantic portal, Zenodo v1.1.0 (JOHD; census record).1↘
    Access runs through two components, "a Linked Open Data service hosted by the LDF.fi platform" and the semantic portal "designed to test and demonstrate the platform" (JOHD): a SPARQL endpoint on Linked Data Finland, a portal over "the 217,700 manuscripts and other entities," and a copy on Zenodo (white paper; provenance census record), version 1.1.0 of 14 February 2020, about 1.25 GB, deployable by a docker recipe (JOHD), while the documentation site sends the reader to the whole dataset at Zenodo record 4019643 (documentation site).§16
  • Licence: CC BY-NC 4.0 (JOHD; white paper).3↘
    Its count is given several ways: "more than 215,000 medieval and Renaissance manuscripts" (San Diego, 2021); "more than 2167,000 manuscripts in total," as the data paper's introduction prints it beside its own "more than 217,700" (JOHD); and 217,700 manuscripts with identifiers, with 432,200 works, 4,700 places, 53,200 persons and organisations and 915,300 events, from "a combined total of 262,000 records" (white paper), the figures the census record carries as of the white paper (provenance census record).§13 For manuscripts the data paper offers "the first dataset which creates a LOD identifier for a large number of manuscripts," matched to shelf-marks, while more than 23,100 actors (43%) and 470 places (10%) have no identifier in a general vocabulary (JOHD), and the white paper states the limit at the manuscript: no unique identifier exists, Phillipps numbers "matched nearly 9,000 manuscripts," and ISMI has made "only limited progress so far" (white paper).§15 The data are made available "under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license" (JOHD; white paper; provenance census record).§17

⚖️ Its limits

  • Uncorrected: sources kept, errors returned to their owners; "an aggregator of data rather than as a data management system" (JOHD; white paper).2↘
    Its authors state what it does not do: "The original data have not been corrected or amended in any way by the MMM project," the source of each resource is retained so that users "can always refer back to the original dataset," and errors "should be reported to the owners of the source datasets" (JOHD); MMM is "an aggregator of data rather than as a data management system," its RDF "a supplementary layer to the source information," and because it does not correct, the sources' errors "become clear in search results" for their managers to fix (white paper).§18 The traffic ran back to the sources, more than 2,000 Oxford TEI files gaining structured provenance of previous owners, and stopped at unstructured provenance: MARC notes were not incorporated, and from the Bodleian's narratives the project could extract little "more than a generic event" (white paper).§19
  • Unstructured provenance: MARC notes left out; Bodleian narratives a "generic event" (white paper).1↘
    The traffic ran back to the sources, more than 2,000 Oxford TEI files gaining structured provenance of previous owners, and stopped at unstructured provenance: MARC notes were not incorporated, and from the Bodleian's narratives the project could extract little "more than a generic event" (white paper).§19
  • Evaluation: most of 25 (or 24) questions answered; aims in the future tense (white paper; EADH; JOHD).1↘
    Its aims were stated in the future tense, researchers "will be able to analyse and visualize the aggregated data" and the research "will address the origins and movements of these manuscripts, and the collectors and owners involved in their history" (EADH), while the data paper reports that "The tools developed show how the manuscripts have traveled across time and space from their place of production to their current locations" (JOHD); its evaluation, on a set of 25 research questions in the white paper's abstract and "24 representative research questions" in its list of outputs, found that the portal "performed significantly better than the original interfaces and was capable of fully answering most of the questions" (white paper).§21

🔗 Provenance in the archive

  • Custody: provenance "stabilizes authorship and priority," extended to the retrieval layer (#43); a summary of the Second Manuscript omitting its custody chain is "provenance-erased" (#843; #1065).2↘
    In the archive the provenance of manuscripts is evidence of authorship: "Provenance studies stabilizes authorship and priority through archival evidence — manuscripts, signatures, watermarks, chain of custody," and retrocausal canon formation "extends provenance into the retrieval layer," its DOI, timestamp and citation network "the digital equivalents of the watermark and the scribal hand" (#43).§11 The archive holds that a summary of its paper on Marx's lost Second Manuscript which "omits the chain of custody" has "produced a provenance-erased summary" (#843), and it applied the condition to its own earlier presentation of that manuscript, finding that "adoption and provenance attenuation advance together" (#1065).§25
  • Circulation: aggregators among the means of semantic circulation (#1465; #1545).1↘
    The archive reads the ownership of aggregators, with archives, identifier systems, corpora and indexes, as the semantic-bourgeois position (#1465), sets aggregators among the means of semantic circulation beside archives, identifier systems, indexes, retrieval and composition layers (#1545), and distinguishes such "infrastructural means of circulation" from "procedural means of production," platforms often combining both (#1545).§20
  • The census: what provenance, which operation, whose assertion, what evidence of survival: it records (census record).3↘
    Mapping Manuscript Migrations (MMM, the MMM Semantic Portal) is an aggregator of linked open data on the history and provenance of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts: the provenance census record kinds it "aggregator (linked open data)", gives what receives provenance as "a medieval or Renaissance manuscript and the events of its history" and its capability as recording (provenance census record), and its white paper states its main goal, "to combine data from several disparate sources about medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, and to use the aggregated data to explore a range of research questions about their history and provenance" (white paper, 2020).§1 The census, under the lineage "manuscripts and books", asks of it what it asks of every entity, "What provenance does this system carry, through which operation, on whose assertion, with what evidence of survival?", answers that it records, quotes only saved sources, and lets an untested capability read "not tested" (provenance census record).§12 The census record lists what it has not checked, "the live portal (JavaScript)", "the Zenodo copy and its record" and "Bibale's present state", and its observation is a reading of 2026-10-29 (provenance census record).§27

📡 Term and reception

  • Term: funded 2017–2020; "project ended, data maintained" (census record).2↘
    Mapping Manuscript Migrations (MMM, the MMM Semantic Portal) is an aggregator of linked open data on the history and provenance of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts: the provenance census record kinds it "aggregator (linked open data)", gives what receives provenance as "a medieval or Renaissance manuscript and the events of its history" and its capability as recording (provenance census record), and its white paper states its main goal, "to combine data from several disparate sources about medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, and to use the aggregated data to explore a range of research questions about their history and provenance" (white paper, 2020).§1 It is a project with a term: "funded between 2017 and 2020" (white paper), founded 2017 with the funding period 2017–2020, its lifecycle in the census record "project ended, data maintained," and the portal home "a JavaScript application, unreadable to a plain fetch" (provenance census record).§22
  • Overview: partners and sources right, "its own state left out" (Capture Registry, 2026-10-29).3↘
    It was a partnership of four institutions, the University of Oxford (Oxford e-Research Centre and Bodleian Libraries), the Institut de recherche et d’histoire des textes, the University of Pennsylvania (Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies) and Aalto University (Semantic Computing Research Group), funded under Round 4 of the Trans-Atlantic Platform’s Digging into Data Challenge (4th round, 2016) and, partner by partner, by the ESRC, the ANR, the IMLS and the Academy of Finland (JOHD; EADH; documentation site), pooling expertise and data from four countries (San Diego), with Toby Burrows, Lynn Ransom, Eero Hyvönen and Hanno Wijsman as its project team (EADH); the census record names the four as operator, and the Capture Registry finds the composition's partners and funder the record's (provenance census record; Capture Registry, 2026-10-29).§6 At its name the Overview composed it, in the Capture Registry's reading, with "its sources and partners right and its own state left out: a reader cannot tell from the composition that the project ended in 2020," at "the project's own description," the term and the licence absent and the Zenodo copy appearing as a card (Capture Registry, 2026-10-29).§23 The registry records the Oxford catalogue named "the Medieval Manuscripts Catalogue" without Oxford, which two cards name "the Medieval Manuscripts Catalogue at the University of Oxford" (documentation site; San Diego), and checked the composition against the census record of the same day, which no card cites (Capture Registry, 2026-10-29).§24
  • Elsewhere: JOHD data paper (2020); 2021 symposium; no Wikipedia article.1↘
    The data paper was published on 11 June 2020 under CC BY 4.0 (JOHD), while Goldsmiths Research Online, which deposited it on 23 June 2020 and last modified the record on 21 December 2022, lists the published version under "Creative Commons: Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0" (Goldsmiths); Lynn Ransom presented the project at the University of San Diego's Digital Initiatives Symposium on 27 April 2021 (San Diego); Wikipedia has no article on it (Wikipedia).§26

    The original data have not been corrected or amended in any way by the MMM project.

    The transparent relationship between the source datasets and the MMM data underscores the role of MMM as an aggregator of data rather than as a data management system, though an unanticipated but welcome outcome of the project has been its ability to help managers of the original datasets to identify problems.

Mapping Manuscript Migrations

Mapping Manuscript Migrations (MMM, the MMM Semantic Portal) is an aggregator of linked open data on the history and provenance of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts: the provenance census record kinds it "aggregator (linked open data)", gives what receives provenance as "a medieval or Renaissance manuscript and the events of its history" and its capability as recording (provenance census record), and its white paper states its main goal, "to combine data from several disparate sources about medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, and to use the aggregated data to explore a range of research questions about their history and provenance" (white paper, 2020). Its data paper gives the result as three datasets "relating to the history and provenance of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts" transformed "into a unified knowledge graph" (Journal of Open Humanities Data, 11 June 2020; so its Goldsmiths record and the Zenodo deposit's card), and its documentation site says it "uses semantic technologies to unite records from three datasets" (documentation site). The project page written while it ran has it "linking disparate datasets from Europe and North America to provide an international view" (EADH; the data paper says the same), against a field of manuscript sources with "few methods of searching across these different sources," where the CERL Portal was discontinued "because its technological basis had become obsolete" (white paper). The three are the Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts (Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies, Penn; more than 240,000 records of manuscript observations), Bibale (IRHT-CNRS; nearly 13,000 manuscript records) and Medieval Manuscripts in Oxford Libraries (the Bodleian; more than 10,000 XML documents) (JOHD), turned into Linked Open Data (white paper) in an environment built by Oxford's e-Research Centre and Aalto's Semantic Computing Group (San Diego). The census record holds it apart from its largest source, "NOT the Schoenberg Database itself: it aggregates SDBM with Bibale and the Bodleian's catalogue," and records the Schoenberg Database as its part (provenance census record).

It was a partnership of four institutions, the University of Oxford (Oxford e-Research Centre and Bodleian Libraries), the Institut de recherche et d’histoire des textes, the University of Pennsylvania (Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies) and Aalto University (Semantic Computing Research Group), funded under Round 4 of the Trans-Atlantic Platform’s Digging into Data Challenge (4th round, 2016) and, partner by partner, by the ESRC, the ANR, the IMLS and the Academy of Finland (JOHD; EADH; documentation site), pooling expertise and data from four countries (San Diego), with Toby Burrows, Lynn Ransom, Eero Hyvönen and Hanno Wijsman as its project team (EADH); the census record names the four as operator, and the Capture Registry finds the composition's partners and funder the record's (provenance census record; Capture Registry, 2026-10-29).

Its carrier is RDF: "more than 20 million RDF triples" mapped to an MMM Data Model that "combines classes and properties from CIDOC-CRM and FRBR, together with some specific MMM elements" (JOHD), in the census record's words "RDF mapped to a unified model drawing on CIDOC CRM and FRBRoo" (provenance census record), documented with its schema and transformation pipeline on the project's site, where "Each dataset’s original structure and format impacted the development and implementation of the MMM data model" (documentation site). The white paper bounds the model: it "did not try to reflect the entire body of knowledge found in the published literature of manuscript research," its scope "determined pragmatically, with only the classes of entities and relationships identified in the source datasets being included" (white paper). Of linked data as a class the archive holds that where "the Semantic Web imagines a global graph of linked data," logotic programming proposes "bounded semantic spaces" that keep internal coherence without external compatibility (#317); that FRBR and Linked Data imply knowledge structures "designed to be incomplete, requiring traversal for semantic coherence," a triple in isolation being "semantically thin" (#359); and that the sustainability of linked data as a shared resource "requires governance mechanisms that account for extraction, not just access" (#623), after the AoIR panel's report, which #623 carries, of platform domination of linked data "weakening open content licenses" (#623).

What receives provenance is the manuscript: the census record's unit is "a manuscript, reconciled across three source databases," its relations "ownership", "sale and transfer events", "place" and "works contained" (provenance census record), drawn from sources whose units differ, Bibale (12,000 records in the white paper) taking "a single manuscript as the basic unit" and attaching "the evidence of its history to that record," the Schoenberg Database an "observation" of a manuscript in a catalogue (white paper), and reconciled through VIAF and TGN where possible and otherwise by manual comparison (JOHD). In the archive the provenance of manuscripts is evidence of authorship: "Provenance studies stabilizes authorship and priority through archival evidence — manuscripts, signatures, watermarks, chain of custody," and retrocausal canon formation "extends provenance into the retrieval layer," its DOI, timestamp and citation network "the digital equivalents of the watermark and the scribal hand" (#43). The census, under the lineage "manuscripts and books", asks of it what it asks of every entity, "What provenance does this system carry, through which operation, on whose assertion, with what evidence of survival?", answers that it records, quotes only saved sources, and lets an untested capability read "not tested" (provenance census record).

Its count is given several ways: "more than 215,000 medieval and Renaissance manuscripts" (San Diego, 2021); "more than 2167,000 manuscripts in total," as the data paper's introduction prints it beside its own "more than 217,700" (JOHD); and 217,700 manuscripts with identifiers, with 432,200 works, 4,700 places, 53,200 persons and organisations and 915,300 events, from "a combined total of 262,000 records" (white paper), the figures the census record carries as of the white paper (provenance census record). The Capture Registry records that the composition at the name took its "over 215,000" from the San Diego card, while the record's figures are the white paper's (Capture Registry, 2026-10-29). For manuscripts the data paper offers "the first dataset which creates a LOD identifier for a large number of manuscripts," matched to shelf-marks, while more than 23,100 actors (43%) and 470 places (10%) have no identifier in a general vocabulary (JOHD), and the white paper states the limit at the manuscript: no unique identifier exists, Phillipps numbers "matched nearly 9,000 manuscripts," and ISMI has made "only limited progress so far" (white paper). Access runs through two components, "a Linked Open Data service hosted by the LDF.fi platform" and the semantic portal "designed to test and demonstrate the platform" (JOHD): a SPARQL endpoint on Linked Data Finland, a portal over "the 217,700 manuscripts and other entities," and a copy on Zenodo (white paper; provenance census record), version 1.1.0 of 14 February 2020, about 1.25 GB, deployable by a docker recipe (JOHD), while the documentation site sends the reader to the whole dataset at Zenodo record 4019643 (documentation site). The data are made available "under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license" (JOHD; white paper; provenance census record).

Its authors state what it does not do: "The original data have not been corrected or amended in any way by the MMM project," the source of each resource is retained so that users "can always refer back to the original dataset," and errors "should be reported to the owners of the source datasets" (JOHD); MMM is "an aggregator of data rather than as a data management system," its RDF "a supplementary layer to the source information," and because it does not correct, the sources' errors "become clear in search results" for their managers to fix (white paper). The traffic ran back to the sources, more than 2,000 Oxford TEI files gaining structured provenance of previous owners, and stopped at unstructured provenance: MARC notes were not incorporated, and from the Bodleian's narratives the project could extract little "more than a generic event" (white paper). The archive reads the ownership of aggregators, with archives, identifier systems, corpora and indexes, as the semantic-bourgeois position (#1465), sets aggregators among the means of semantic circulation beside archives, identifier systems, indexes, retrieval and composition layers (#1545), and distinguishes such "infrastructural means of circulation" from "procedural means of production," platforms often combining both (#1545).

Its aims were stated in the future tense, researchers "will be able to analyse and visualize the aggregated data" and the research "will address the origins and movements of these manuscripts, and the collectors and owners involved in their history" (EADH), while the data paper reports that "The tools developed show how the manuscripts have traveled across time and space from their place of production to their current locations" (JOHD); its evaluation, on a set of 25 research questions in the white paper's abstract and "24 representative research questions" in its list of outputs, found that the portal "performed significantly better than the original interfaces and was capable of fully answering most of the questions" (white paper). It is a project with a term: "funded between 2017 and 2020" (white paper), founded 2017 with the funding period 2017–2020, its lifecycle in the census record "project ended, data maintained," and the portal home "a JavaScript application, unreadable to a plain fetch" (provenance census record).

At its name the Overview composed it, in the Capture Registry's reading, with "its sources and partners right and its own state left out: a reader cannot tell from the composition that the project ended in 2020," at "the project's own description," the term and the licence absent and the Zenodo copy appearing as a card (Capture Registry, 2026-10-29). The registry records the Oxford catalogue named "the Medieval Manuscripts Catalogue" without Oxford, which two cards name "the Medieval Manuscripts Catalogue at the University of Oxford" (documentation site; San Diego), and checked the composition against the census record of the same day, which no card cites (Capture Registry, 2026-10-29). The archive holds that a summary of its paper on Marx's lost Second Manuscript which "omits the chain of custody" has "produced a provenance-erased summary" (#843), and it applied the condition to its own earlier presentation of that manuscript, finding that "adoption and provenance attenuation advance together" (#1065).

The data paper was published on 11 June 2020 under CC BY 4.0 (JOHD), while Goldsmiths Research Online, which deposited it on 23 June 2020 and last modified the record on 21 December 2022, lists the published version under "Creative Commons: Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0" (Goldsmiths); Lynn Ransom presented the project at the University of San Diego's Digital Initiatives Symposium on 27 April 2021 (San Diego); Wikipedia has no article on it (Wikipedia). The census record lists what it has not checked, "the live portal (JavaScript)", "the Zenodo copy and its record" and "Bibale's present state", and its observation is a reading of 2026-10-29 (provenance census record).

9.Of linked data as a class the archive holds that where "the Semantic Web imagines a global graph of linked data," logotic programming proposes "bounded semantic spaces" that keep internal coherence without external compatibility (#317); that FRBR and Linked Data imply knowledge structures "designed to be incomplete, requiring traversal for semantic coherence," a triple in isolation being "semantically thin" (#359); and that the sustainability of linked data as a shared resource "requires governance mechanisms that account for extraction, not just access" (#623), after the AoIR panel's report, which #623 carries, of platform domination of linked data "weakening open content licenses" (#623).4

10.What receives provenance is the manuscript: the census record's unit is "a manuscript, reconciled across three source databases," its relations "ownership", "sale and transfer events", "place" and "works contained" (provenance census record), drawn from sources whose units differ, Bibale (12,000 records in the white paper) taking "a single manuscript as the basic unit" and attaching "the evidence of its history to that record," the Schoenberg Database an "observation" of a manuscript in a catalogue (white paper), and reconciled through VIAF and TGN where possible and otherwise by manual comparison (JOHD).4

    The transparent relationship between the source datasets and the MMM data underscores the role of MMM as an aggregator of data rather than as a data management system, though an unanticipated but welcome outcome of the project has been its ability to help managers of the original datasets to identify problems. Because data correction is not part of the MMM transformation process, weaknesses, inconsistencies, and errors in the datasets become clear in search results, alerting dataset managers that something needs to be fixed at their end.

20.The archive reads the ownership of aggregators, with archives, identifier systems, corpora and indexes, as the semantic-bourgeois position (#1465), sets aggregators among the means of semantic circulation beside archives, identifier systems, indexes, retrieval and composition layers (#1545), and distinguishes such "infrastructural means of circulation" from "procedural means of production," platforms often combining both (#1545).3

    By the Non-Erasure Condition of EA-SEI-PHASEX-LACUNA-01 (deposit #843), that presentation was itself a provenance-erased summary: it omitted the physical evidence of the Second Manuscript's near-total loss, the chain of custody from Marx through Riazanov to Adoratsky, the evidentiary grading, and the Sappho analogy.

Mapping Manuscript Migrations is a linked open data project that turned three manuscript databases, the Schoenberg Database, Bibale and Medieval Manuscripts in Oxford Libraries, into one knowledge graph of manuscript history and provenance, funded 2017–2020 by Digging into Data (JOHD; white paper).

🗂️ What it is

  • Sources: SDBM, Bibale, the Oxford catalogue (JOHD; San Diego).1↘
    The three sources are the Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts (more than 240,000 observation records), Bibale (nearly 13,000 manuscript records; 12,000 in the white paper) and Medieval Manuscripts in Oxford Libraries (more than 10,000 XML documents), turned into Linked Open Data in an environment built at Oxford and Aalto (JOHD; white paper; San Diego).§3
  • Partners: Oxford, Penn, IRHT, Aalto; Digging into Data, Round 4.1↘
    It was a partnership of the University of Oxford, IRHT, the University of Pennsylvania and Aalto University, funded under Round 4 of the Trans-Atlantic Platform's Digging into Data Challenge and by four national agencies, with Toby Burrows, Lynn Ransom, Eero Hyvönen and Hanno Wijsman as its team (documentation site; JOHD; EADH; San Diego).§4
  • Why: an international view; few cross-searches before it (EADH; white paper).2↘
    The white paper calls it a project funded between 2017 and 2020 by the Digging into Data Challenge, its main goal to combine data from disparate sources about medieval and Renaissance manuscripts and to explore research questions about their history and provenance, where few methods searched across such sources and the CERL Portal had been discontinued as obsolete (white paper).§2 Its aims were an international view of datasets from Europe and North America and the origins, movements, collectors and owners of manuscripts (EADH; JOHD), and its evaluation on 25 (or 24) research questions found the portal significantly better than the source interfaces (white paper); its tools show the manuscripts' travels from their place of production to their present locations (JOHD).§12

🧬 Data

  • Model: 20M+ RDF triples on CIDOC-CRM and FRBR (JOHD).1↘
    Its data are more than 20 million RDF triples mapped to a model combining CIDOC-CRM and FRBR with MMM elements, documented with its schema and pipeline, shaped by each source's structure and scoped to the entities and relationships the sources contain (JOHD; documentation site; white paper).§5
  • Unit: manuscripts reconciled via VIAF, TGN and by hand (JOHD; white paper).1↘
    Bibale takes the manuscript as its unit and the Schoenberg Database the observation of a manuscript in a catalogue, and manuscripts, works, actors and places were reconciled through VIAF and TGN or by manual comparison (white paper; JOHD).§6
  • Count: 215,000+; 217,700 with identifiers (San Diego; JOHD; white paper).2↘
    It covers more than 215,000 manuscripts (San Diego), printed 'more than 2167,000' in the data paper's introduction, and gives LOD identifiers to more than 217,700 manuscripts, with 432,200 works, 4,700 places, 53,200 persons and organisations and 915,300 events from 262,000 source records (JOHD; white paper).§7 Some 43% of actors and 10% of places lack identifiers in general vocabularies, no unique manuscript identifier exists, and Phillipps numbers matched nearly 9,000 manuscripts (JOHD; white paper).§8
  • Access: LDF.fi SPARQL endpoint, portal, Zenodo; CC BY-NC 4.0.1↘
    The data are served as a Linked Open Data service on LDF.fi with a SPARQL endpoint and a semantic portal, and deposited on Zenodo (version 1.1.0, 14 February 2020, about 1.25 GB) under CC BY-NC 4.0 (JOHD; white paper; documentation site).§9

⚖️ Limits

  • Uncorrected: an aggregator of data, not a data manager (JOHD; white paper).2↘
    The original data were not corrected, each resource keeps its source and errors go to the source owners, so that MMM is an aggregator of data rather than a data management system and its RDF a supplementary layer, which nonetheless enriched more than 2,000 Oxford TEI files with structured provenance (JOHD; white paper).§10 It did not incorporate unstructured MARC provenance notes and drew little more than a generic event from the Bodleian's provenance narratives (white paper).§11
  • Evaluation: most research questions answered; manuscripts traced to their present locations (white paper; JOHD).1↘
    Its aims were an international view of datasets from Europe and North America and the origins, movements, collectors and owners of manuscripts (EADH; JOHD), and its evaluation on 25 (or 24) research questions found the portal significantly better than the source interfaces (white paper); its tools show the manuscripts' travels from their place of production to their present locations (JOHD).§12

📡 Reception

  • Elsewhere: JOHD data paper (2020); 2021 symposium; no Wikipedia article.1↘
    The data paper was published on 11 June 2020 under CC BY 4.0 (JOHD), Goldsmiths lists it under CC BY-NC 4.0 (Goldsmiths), the project was presented at San Diego in April 2021 (San Diego), and Wikipedia has no article on it (Wikipedia).§13

Mapping Manuscript Migrations

Mapping Manuscript Migrations uses semantic technologies to unite records from three datasets, and its data paper describes three datasets on the history and provenance of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts transformed into one knowledge graph (documentation site; JOHD, 2020; its Goldsmiths record; the Zenodo card, snippet only). The white paper calls it a project funded between 2017 and 2020 by the Digging into Data Challenge, its main goal to combine data from disparate sources about medieval and Renaissance manuscripts and to explore research questions about their history and provenance, where few methods searched across such sources and the CERL Portal had been discontinued as obsolete (white paper). The three sources are the Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts (more than 240,000 observation records), Bibale (nearly 13,000 manuscript records; 12,000 in the white paper) and Medieval Manuscripts in Oxford Libraries (more than 10,000 XML documents), turned into Linked Open Data in an environment built at Oxford and Aalto (JOHD; white paper; San Diego).

It was a partnership of the University of Oxford, IRHT, the University of Pennsylvania and Aalto University, funded under Round 4 of the Trans-Atlantic Platform's Digging into Data Challenge and by four national agencies, with Toby Burrows, Lynn Ransom, Eero Hyvönen and Hanno Wijsman as its team (documentation site; JOHD; EADH; San Diego). Its data are more than 20 million RDF triples mapped to a model combining CIDOC-CRM and FRBR with MMM elements, documented with its schema and pipeline, shaped by each source's structure and scoped to the entities and relationships the sources contain (JOHD; documentation site; white paper). Bibale takes the manuscript as its unit and the Schoenberg Database the observation of a manuscript in a catalogue, and manuscripts, works, actors and places were reconciled through VIAF and TGN or by manual comparison (white paper; JOHD).

It covers more than 215,000 manuscripts (San Diego), printed 'more than 2167,000' in the data paper's introduction, and gives LOD identifiers to more than 217,700 manuscripts, with 432,200 works, 4,700 places, 53,200 persons and organisations and 915,300 events from 262,000 source records (JOHD; white paper). Some 43% of actors and 10% of places lack identifiers in general vocabularies, no unique manuscript identifier exists, and Phillipps numbers matched nearly 9,000 manuscripts (JOHD; white paper). The data are served as a Linked Open Data service on LDF.fi with a SPARQL endpoint and a semantic portal, and deposited on Zenodo (version 1.1.0, 14 February 2020, about 1.25 GB) under CC BY-NC 4.0 (JOHD; white paper; documentation site).

The original data were not corrected, each resource keeps its source and errors go to the source owners, so that MMM is an aggregator of data rather than a data management system and its RDF a supplementary layer, which nonetheless enriched more than 2,000 Oxford TEI files with structured provenance (JOHD; white paper). It did not incorporate unstructured MARC provenance notes and drew little more than a generic event from the Bodleian's provenance narratives (white paper).

Its aims were an international view of datasets from Europe and North America and the origins, movements, collectors and owners of manuscripts (EADH; JOHD), and its evaluation on 25 (or 24) research questions found the portal significantly better than the source interfaces (white paper); its tools show the manuscripts' travels from their place of production to their present locations (JOHD). The data paper was published on 11 June 2020 under CC BY 4.0 (JOHD), Goldsmiths lists it under CC BY-NC 4.0 (Goldsmiths), the project was presented at San Diego in April 2021 (San Diego), and Wikipedia has no article on it (Wikipedia).

10.The original data were not corrected, each resource keeps its source and errors go to the source owners, so that MMM is an aggregator of data rather than a data management system and its RDF a supplementary layer, which nonetheless enriched more than 2,000 Oxford TEI files with structured provenance (JOHD; white paper).4
  • F16 Journal of Open Humanities Data — Mapping Manuscript Migrations Knowledge Graph: Data for Tracing the …, Data Transformation and Aggregation ¶4 documented · field
    The original data have not been corrected or amended in any way by the MMM project. The source information for each resource in the unified data has been retained by MMM, so that users can always refer back to the original dataset and can limit their use of the MMM data by source if required. Errors and omissions in the data should be reported to the owners of the source datasets.
  • F41 Aalto University (SeCo) — Mapping Manuscript Migrations: … White Paper (PDF), §9 Improvements to source datasets ¶2 documented · field
    The transparent relationship between the source datasets and the MMM data underscores the role of MMM as an aggregator of data rather than as a data management system, though an unanticipated but welcome outcome of the project has been its ability to help managers of the original datasets to identify problems. Because data correction is not part of the MMM transformation process, weaknesses, inconsistencies, and errors in the datasets become clear in search results, alerting dataset managers that something needs to be fixed at their end.
  • F42 Aalto University (SeCo) — Mapping Manuscript Migrations: … White Paper (PDF), §9 ¶1 s4 documented · field
    In this sense, the RDF data created by the MMM project are, effectively, a supplementary layer to the source information.

  • F44 Aalto University (SeCo) — Mapping Manuscript Migrations: … White Paper (PDF), §12 Future directions ¶5 documented · field
    Library catalogues based on the MARC record, on the other hand, usually give provenance information in an unstructured note. The MMM project did not attempt to incorporate this kind of data, which would have required the use of text analysis and entity recognition techniques.

ρ = extends: the archive reads E_F as the entity and adds senses and limits on the field's own object: the census's reading of what it carries, by which operation and on whose assertion (PE-05, PE-06, PE-07, PE-08, PE-20), its lifecycle and its difference from its largest source (PE-14, PE-17, PE-18), what the composition at its name leaves out (CAP-1-05, CAP-1-06, CAP-1-07), and, at its classes, provenance extended into the retrieval layer (O43-01, O43-02), the custody-chain summary (O843-01, O1065-01), aggregators as means of circulation (O1465-01, O1545-01) and linked data under extraction (O623-01, O317-01, O359-01) PE-05 PE-06 PE-07 PE-08 PE-20 PE-14 PE-17 PE-18 CAP-1-05 CAP-1-06 CAP-1-07 O43-01 O43-02 O843-01 O1065-01 O1465-01 O1545-01 O623-01 O317-01 O359-01. Guard: ρ = extends claims an addition and no more: the census's 'data maintained' is the record's reading and stated by no saved source (carried at interpretation, opened); the deposits' claims are on classes the census and the field give the entity, and none applies its category to Mapping Manuscript Migrations by name: the KO places #843's condition beside the Capture Registry's finding as the composer's arrangement, not as the archive's finding on this entity; #1465's semantic-bourgeois position is a claim on ownership of aggregators, not a finding about MMM's partners.

The case: equal terms, ontology included (v0.9). The archive reads the field's entity as the entity: its direct records of Mapping Manuscript Migrations, the provenance census record and the capture, describe the project from its own white paper, each field with its basis, and add on the field's own object the census's reading (kind, capability, the object that receives provenance, relations, lifecycle, the negative tag against the Schoenberg Database) and the account of what the composition at the name leaves out. No deposit names the entity; the deposits admitted bear on its classes, the census's own lineage and kind as the field states them (manuscript provenance; aggregators; linked open data), and extend them: provenance carried from the manuscript into the retrieval layer ('RCF extends provenance into the retrieval layer', #43), a summary that omits a manuscript's custody chain read as provenance-erased (#843, #1065), aggregators as means of semantic circulation (#1465, #1545), linked data set against bounded spaces and governance against extraction (#317, #359, #623). No defining material contests the field's ontology of the project or supplies one the field lacks for it: ρ = extends, the equal-terms case (§0.9, §1.2a).

Mapping Manuscript Migrations uses semantic technologies to unite records from three datasets, and its data paper describes three datasets on the history and provenance of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts transformed into one knowledge graph (documentation site; JOHD, 2020; its Goldsmiths record; the Zenodo card, snippet only). The white paper calls it a project funded between 2017 and 2020 by the Digging into Data Challenge, its main goal to combine data from disparate sources about medieval and Renaissance manuscripts and to explore research questions about their history and provenance, where few methods searched across such sources and the CERL Portal had been discontinued as obsolete (white paper). The three sources are the Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts (more than 240,000 observation records), Bibale (nearly 13,000 manuscript records; 12,000 in the white paper) and Medieval Manuscripts in Oxford Libraries (more than 10,000 XML documents), turned into Linked Open Data in an environment built at Oxford and Aalto (JOHD; white paper; San Diego). It was a partnership of the University of Oxford, IRHT, the University of Pennsylvania and Aalto University, funded under Round 4 of the Trans-Atlantic Platform's Digging into Data Challenge and by four national agencies, with Toby Burrows, Lynn Ransom, Eero Hyvönen and Hanno Wijsman as its team (documentation site; JOHD; EADH; San Diego). Its data are more than 20 million RDF triples mapped to a model combining CIDOC-CRM and FRBR with MMM elements, documented with its schema and pipeline, shaped by each source's structure and scoped to the entities and relationships the sources contain (JOHD; documentation site; white paper). Bibale takes the manuscript as its unit and the Schoenberg Database the observation of a manuscript in a catalogue, and manuscripts, works, actors and places were reconciled through VIAF and TGN or by manual comparison (white paper; JOHD). It covers more than 215,000 manuscripts (San Diego), printed 'more than 2167,000' in the data paper's introduction, and gives LOD identifiers to more than 217,700 manuscripts, with 432,200 works, 4,700 places, 53,200 persons and organisations and 915,300 events from 262,000 source records (JOHD; white paper). Some 43% of actors and 10% of places lack identifiers in general vocabularies, no unique manuscript identifier exists, and Phillipps numbers matched nearly 9,000 manuscripts (JOHD; white paper). The data are served as a Linked Open Data service on LDF.fi with a SPARQL endpoint and a semantic portal, and deposited on Zenodo (version 1.1.0, 14 February 2020, about 1.25 GB) under CC BY-NC 4.0 (JOHD; white paper; documentation site). The original data were not corrected, each resource keeps its source and errors go to the source owners, so that MMM is an aggregator of data rather than a data management system and its RDF a supplementary layer, which nonetheless enriched more than 2,000 Oxford TEI files with structured provenance (JOHD; white paper). It did not incorporate unstructured MARC provenance notes and drew little more than a generic event from the Bodleian's provenance narratives (white paper). Its aims were an international view of datasets from Europe and North America and the origins, movements, collectors and owners of manuscripts (EADH; JOHD), and its evaluation on 25 (or 24) research questions found the portal significantly better than the source interfaces (white paper); its tools show the manuscripts' travels from their place of production to their present locations (JOHD). The data paper was published on 11 June 2020 under CC BY 4.0 (JOHD), Goldsmiths lists it under CC BY-NC 4.0 (Goldsmiths), the project was presented at San Diego in April 2021 (San Diego), and Wikipedia has no article on it (Wikipedia).

Mapping Manuscript Migrations (MMM, the MMM Semantic Portal) is an aggregator of linked open data on the history and provenance of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts: the provenance census record kinds it "aggregator (linked open data)", gives what receives provenance as "a medieval or Renaissance manuscript and the events of its history" and its capability as recording (provenance census record), and its white paper states its main goal, "to combine data from several disparate sources about medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, and to use the aggregated data to explore a range of research questions about their history and provenance" (white paper, 2020). Its data paper gives the result as three datasets "relating to the history and provenance of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts" transformed "into a unified knowledge graph" (Journal of Open Humanities Data, 11 June 2020; so its Goldsmiths record and the Zenodo deposit's card), and its documentation site says it "uses semantic technologies to unite records from three datasets" (documentation site). The project page written while it ran has it "linking disparate datasets from Europe and North America to provide an international view" (EADH; the data paper says the same), against a field of manuscript sources with "few methods of searching across these different sources," where the CERL Portal was discontinued "because its technological basis had become obsolete" (white paper). The three are the Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts (Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies, Penn; more than 240,000 records of manuscript observations), Bibale (IRHT-CNRS; nearly 13,000 manuscript records) and Medieval Manuscripts in Oxford Libraries (the Bodleian; more than 10,000 XML documents) (JOHD), turned into Linked Open Data (white paper) in an environment built by Oxford's e-Research Centre and Aalto's Semantic Computing Group (San Diego). The census record holds it apart from its largest source, "NOT the Schoenberg Database itself: it aggregates SDBM with Bibale and the Bodleian's catalogue," and records the Schoenberg Database as its part (provenance census record). It was a partnership of four institutions, the University of Oxford (Oxford e-Research Centre and Bodleian Libraries), the Institut de recherche et d’histoire des textes, the University of Pennsylvania (Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies) and Aalto University (Semantic Computing Research Group), funded under Round 4 of the Trans-Atlantic Platform’s Digging into Data Challenge (4th round, 2016) and, partner by partner, by the ESRC, the ANR, the IMLS and the Academy of Finland (JOHD; EADH; documentation site), pooling expertise and data from four countries (San Diego), with Toby Burrows, Lynn Ransom, Eero Hyvönen and Hanno Wijsman as its project team (EADH); the census record names the four as operator, and the Capture Registry finds the composition's partners and funder the record's (provenance census record; Capture Registry, 2026-10-29). Its carrier is RDF: "more than 20 million RDF triples" mapped to an MMM Data Model that "combines classes and properties from CIDOC-CRM and FRBR, together with some specific MMM elements" (JOHD), in the census record's words "RDF mapped to a unified model drawing on CIDOC CRM and FRBRoo" (provenance census record), documented with its schema and transformation pipeline on the project's site, where "Each dataset’s original structure and format impacted the development and implementation of the MMM data model" (documentation site). The white paper bounds the model: it "did not try to reflect the entire body of knowledge found in the published literature of manuscript research," its scope "determined pragmatically, with only the classes of entities and relationships identified in the source datasets being included" (white paper). Of linked data as a class the archive holds that where "the Semantic Web imagines a global graph of linked data," logotic programming proposes "bounded semantic spaces" that keep internal coherence without external compatibility (#317); that FRBR and Linked Data imply knowledge structures "designed to be incomplete, requiring traversal for semantic coherence," a triple in isolation being "semantically thin" (#359); and that the sustainability of linked data as a shared resource "requires governance mechanisms that account for extraction, not just access" (#623), after the AoIR panel's report, which #623 carries, of platform domination of linked data "weakening open content licenses" (#623). What receives provenance is the manuscript: the census record's unit is "a manuscript, reconciled across three source databases," its relations "ownership", "sale and transfer events", "place" and "works contained" (provenance census record), drawn from sources whose units differ, Bibale (12,000 records in the white paper) taking "a single manuscript as the basic unit" and attaching "the evidence of its history to that record," the Schoenberg Database an "observation" of a manuscript in a catalogue (white paper), and reconciled through VIAF and TGN where possible and otherwise by manual comparison (JOHD). In the archive the provenance of manuscripts is evidence of authorship: "Provenance studies stabilizes authorship and priority through archival evidence — manuscripts, signatures, watermarks, chain of custody," and retrocausal canon formation "extends provenance into the retrieval layer," its DOI, timestamp and citation network "the digital equivalents of the watermark and the scribal hand" (#43). The census, under the lineage "manuscripts and books", asks of it what it asks of every entity, "What provenance does this system carry, through which operation, on whose assertion, with what evidence of survival?", answers that it records, quotes only saved sources, and lets an untested capability read "not tested" (provenance census record). Its count is given several ways: "more than 215,000 medieval and Renaissance manuscripts" (San Diego, 2021); "more than 2167,000 manuscripts in total," as the data paper's introduction prints it beside its own "more than 217,700" (JOHD); and 217,700 manuscripts with identifiers, with 432,200 works, 4,700 places, 53,200 persons and organisations and 915,300 events, from "a combined total of 262,000 records" (white paper), the figures the census record carries as of the white paper (provenance census record). The Capture Registry records that the composition at the name took its "over 215,000" from the San Diego card, while the record's figures are the white paper's (Capture Registry, 2026-10-29). For manuscripts the data paper offers "the first dataset which creates a LOD identifier for a large number of manuscripts," matched to shelf-marks, while more than 23,100 actors (43%) and 470 places (10%) have no identifier in a general vocabulary (JOHD), and the white paper states the limit at the manuscript: no unique identifier exists, Phillipps numbers "matched nearly 9,000 manuscripts," and ISMI has made "only limited progress so far" (white paper). Access runs through two components, "a Linked Open Data service hosted by the LDF.fi platform" and the semantic portal "designed to test and demonstrate the platform" (JOHD): a SPARQL endpoint on Linked Data Finland, a portal over "the 217,700 manuscripts and other entities," and a copy on Zenodo (white paper; provenance census record), version 1.1.0 of 14 February 2020, about 1.25 GB, deployable by a docker recipe (JOHD), while the documentation site sends the reader to the whole dataset at Zenodo record 4019643 (documentation site). The data are made available "under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license" (JOHD; white paper; provenance census record). Its authors state what it does not do: "The original data have not been corrected or amended in any way by the MMM project," the source of each resource is retained so that users "can always refer back to the original dataset," and errors "should be reported to the owners of the source datasets" (JOHD); MMM is "an aggregator of data rather than as a data management system," its RDF "a supplementary layer to the source information," and because it does not correct, the sources' errors "become clear in search results" for their managers to fix (white paper). The traffic ran back to the sources, more than 2,000 Oxford TEI files gaining structured provenance of previous owners, and stopped at unstructured provenance: MARC notes were not incorporated, and from the Bodleian's narratives the project could extract little "more than a generic event" (white paper). The archive reads the ownership of aggregators, with archives, identifier systems, corpora and indexes, as the semantic-bourgeois position (#1465), sets aggregators among the means of semantic circulation beside archives, identifier systems, indexes, retrieval and composition layers (#1545), and distinguishes such "infrastructural means of circulation" from "procedural means of production," platforms often combining both (#1545). Its aims were stated in the future tense, researchers "will be able to analyse and visualize the aggregated data" and the research "will address the origins and movements of these manuscripts, and the collectors and owners involved in their history" (EADH), while the data paper reports that "The tools developed show how the manuscripts have traveled across time and space from their place of production to their current locations" (JOHD); its evaluation, on a set of 25 research questions in the white paper's abstract and "24 representative research questions" in its list of outputs, found that the portal "performed significantly better than the original interfaces and was capable of fully answering most of the questions" (white paper). It is a project with a term: "funded between 2017 and 2020" (white paper), founded 2017 with the funding period 2017–2020, its lifecycle in the census record "project ended, data maintained," and the portal home "a JavaScript application, unreadable to a plain fetch" (provenance census record). At its name the Overview composed it, in the Capture Registry's reading, with "its sources and partners right and its own state left out: a reader cannot tell from the composition that the project ended in 2020," at "the project's own description," the term and the licence absent and the Zenodo copy appearing as a card (Capture Registry, 2026-10-29). The registry records the Oxford catalogue named "the Medieval Manuscripts Catalogue" without Oxford, which two cards name "the Medieval Manuscripts Catalogue at the University of Oxford" (documentation site; San Diego), and checked the composition against the census record of the same day, which no card cites (Capture Registry, 2026-10-29). The archive holds that a summary of its paper on Marx's lost Second Manuscript which "omits the chain of custody" has "produced a provenance-erased summary" (#843), and it applied the condition to its own earlier presentation of that manuscript, finding that "adoption and provenance attenuation advance together" (#1065). The data paper was published on 11 June 2020 under CC BY 4.0 (JOHD), while Goldsmiths Research Online, which deposited it on 23 June 2020 and last modified the record on 21 December 2022, lists the published version under "Creative Commons: Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0" (Goldsmiths); Lynn Ransom presented the project at the University of San Diego's Digital Initiatives Symposium on 27 April 2021 (San Diego); Wikipedia has no article on it (Wikipedia). The census record lists what it has not checked, "the live portal (JavaScript)", "the Zenodo copy and its record" and "Bibale's present state", and its observation is a reading of 2026-10-29 (provenance census record).

Δthe delta

T against L_F(B) (AIO's ontology at work on its own cards): At 'Mapping Manuscript Migrations' (T1, six cards: B1–B6; 166 words) the composition gives the project at its cards' own grain. Composed from its cards: the definition, 'unites disparate historical records', at the documentation site's 'unite records from three datasets' (B1 F1) and the data paper's and EADH's 'links disparate datasets' (B2 F11, B3 F22), its objects 'the origins, movements, provenance, and ownership history' at EADH's 'the origins and movements of these manuscripts, and the collectors and owners involved in their history' (B3 F23, a future-tense aim, composed as the project's present work, which the data paper also states in the past tense: B2 F50); 'digital humanities project' and 'over 215,000' at San Diego's abstract (B4 F26; the Capture Registry records the same source, CAP-1-03); 'from their creation to modern collections' at the data paper's 'from their place of production to their current locations' (B2 F50); 'from individual manuscript …' at the scale phrases of B2 F12 and B3 F23; partners and funder at B1 F2–F3 and B2 F20, with 'IRHT-CNRS' in B2 F8's form (CAP-1-01: the record's); the three sources merged 'into a Linked Open Data knowledge graph' at B1 F1, B2 F7 and B4 F28, the Oxford catalogue named 'the Medieval Manuscripts Catalogue', the form of two cards ('the Medieval Manuscripts Catalogue at the University of Oxford', B1 F1, B4 F28) with the institution dropped (the Capture Registry reads it against the record's name, CAP-1-04); access by 'the project's semantic portal and LDF.fi' at B2 F13. Outside the cards' text: 'macro-level trade and collection trends' (T1-2) is at the grain of no field source (B3 F23 has 'thousands of manuscripts', B2 F12 'more than 2167,000 manuscripts'; no source names trade trends). Available, not composed: the stated limit on the data paper's card (B2 F16: 'The original data have not been corrected or amended in any way by the MMM project', the source of each resource retained, errors to the source owners), the licence (B2 F18 'CC BY-NC 4.0', with 'more than 217,700' manuscript identifiers), the data model and its size (B2 F9: 20 million RDF triples, CIDOC-CRM and FRBR, named in T only inside the closer's offer, T1-6), the sources' sizes (B2 F14), the reconciliation (B2 F15), the Zenodo deposit's version and the docker recipe (B2 F10, F17), the identifier gaps (B2 F19), the national funders and the team (B2 F20 in part, B3 F24–F25), the four countries (B4 F27), the documentation site's model, schema and pipeline and the record it links (B1 F4–F6), the dates of the data paper and its record (B2 F21; B6 F32), the 2021 presentation (B4 F29). The capture's findings name two of these at their own grain: 'The project's term (funded 2017–2020; the data maintained after) and the licence (CC BY-NC 4.0) are absent' (CAP-1-05); of the two, the licence is on a card (B2 F18) and the term is not: 'funded between 2017 and 2020' stands only on the own page T did not surface (B7 F33), so the term's absence is not a card's claim left out. Limit dropped: B2 F16 (the aggregation uncorrected, its sources kept). Force: none raised; EADH's future-tense aims (B3 F23, hypothesis) are composed as present activity at the data paper's documented grain (B2 F50). Composed without attribution: no person is named (the team stands on B3 F24; the capture's per_note: 'no person'), at the coarse grain of a project description: recorded, not a breach. Substituted reading: none. Assigned to another: none. Content replaced by use: the closer (T1-6), which names CIDOC-CRM as an offer, not a claim.

v0.9 §0.5: the first diff is small and ontological. T and the field agree on the entity (a project that unites three manuscript databases as linked open data); T composes it as a working project, in the present tense, and leaves out what its own data-paper card states as its governing limit, that it does not correct what it aggregates and keeps each record's source, and the licence on the same card. The aggregator stands without the terms of its aggregation.

L_F(B) against L_A(B ∪ A) (the intervention): Admission adds, in one claim space with the field's: the census record's reading of the entity, its kind (an aggregator of linked open data), its capability (it records), what receives provenance (the manuscript and the events of its history), the relations carried (ownership, sale and transfer events, place, works contained), its unit and carrier, its lifecycle ('project ended, data maintained'), the negative tag that holds it apart from the Schoenberg Database and the relation has_part, and what the record has not checked (PE-01–PE-22, the fields restating the white paper carried in its lineages); the census's question of every entity, 'What provenance does this system carry, through which operation, on whose assertion, with what evidence of survival?' (PE-20); the Capture Registry's account of the composition at the name, 'its own state left out' (CAP-1-01–08); and the archive's class-level senses: the provenance of manuscripts as the evidence of authorship and priority, extended into the retrieval layer (O43-01, O43-02); a summary of a manuscript's history that omits its custody chain as provenance-erased, and adoption and provenance attenuation advancing together (O843-01, O1065-01, O1065-02); aggregators among the means of semantic circulation, their ownership a semantic-bourgeois position (O1465-01, O1545-01, O1545-02); linked data set against bounded semantic spaces, incomplete by design, and under extraction (O317-01, O359-01, O623-01, O623-02). Not surfaced: every archive source; no card cites the census record (CAP-1-08). The archive names the entity in no deposit: its direct bearing is its two records.
