Subject of the project proposal are development techniques for the integration of various - especially historical - encyclopedias and lexicons into a comprehensive information system. The result is a "historical Wikipedia", organized on the basis of a diachronic concept graph and inspired by the functionality of semantic networks (e. g. WordNet).The aim is to analyse and integrate heterogeneous encyclopaedic works at the level of the concepts discussed in them, i.e. trace back different lemmas, terms and proper names to their common entities and to divide the content of their glosses into different concepts and semantic classes. On the basis of the thus determined entities, 1) a concept graph in its synchronous and diachronic dimension is then generated, and 2) a hierarchy of entities and knowledge about their relations to each other is established. The resulting ontology corresponds to an information system that allows detailed queries and inferences about the entire encyclopedia collection. Each entity should be assigned to its equivalent in Wikipedia/DBpedia, a standard file (GND) or at least one semantic class from the Wikipedia category system. The development is carried out on the basis of a collection of historical German-language texts, but the resulting indexing techniques and data models are in principle also suitable for the creation of a multilingual system and are not limited to the text type of the encyclopaedia. Due to the depth of the information extraction, the modelling of the temporal dimension and the induction of a formalised knowledge base directly from historical material, such an encyclopaedia-network is a novel resource capable of lastingly changing the work of research communities at the interface between the humanities and computer science.

该项目提案的主题是将各种百科全书和词典--特别是历史百科全书和词典--纳入综合信息系统的开发技术。其结果是在历时概念图的基础上并受到语义网络(例如Wordnet)的功能的启发而组织成一部“历史维基百科”，目的是在其中讨论的概念的层面上分析和整合不同的百科全书著作，即将不同的词条、术语和专有名称追溯到它们共同的实体，并将它们的注释内容划分为不同的概念和语义类别。基于这样确定的实体，1)然后在其同步和历时维度上生成概念图，以及2)建立实体的层次结构和关于它们彼此关系的知识。得到的本体对应于一个信息系统，该信息系统允许关于整个百科全书集合的详细查询和推断。每个实体都应该被分配到维基百科/DBpedia中的对等实体、一个标准文件(GND)或至少一个来自维基百科类别系统的语义类别。开发工作是在收集历史德文文本的基础上进行的，但由此产生的索引技术和数据模型原则上也适用于创建多语种系统，并不限于百科全书的文本类型。由于信息提取的深度，时间维度的模型化，以及直接从历史材料中归纳出正式的知识库，这样的百科全书网络是一种能够在人文科学和计算机科学之间的接口处持久地改变研究社区的工作的新资源。
