SoNAR (IDH) – Interfaces to Data for Historical Social Network Analysis and Research. Proposalfor the examination and demonstration of a e-Research-Technology for Historical NetworkAnalysis.

SoNAR（IDH）系统地阐述了面向应用的最佳实践方法，用于开发集成的电子研究技术。它涉及到社会网络分析（SNA）的方法的历史网络的检查。该技术以符合图书馆和档案元数据标准的分散数据储存库为基础，并与实体识别的权威文件相连接，该项目将逐步开发一个原型，以证明综合技术组成部分的经济和技术有效性，并阐述可持续实施和维护电子研究技术的概念。为实现其目标，该项目分为六个专题：（1）数据准备：将处理分散数据储存库的原始数据（Meta和权威记录、全文），以进行统计分析。它包括用于识别实体全文并将其与权威记录联系起来的工具。(2)数据管理：获取准备好的数据将符合定量分析的科学要求：再现性、持久性识别和数据验证（来源）。(3)示例性研究设计：它为结构化社会网络分析的研究技术的坚实服务组合奠定了基础，从而将SoNAR（IDH）集成到研究过程中。(4)可视化和界面设计：该项目将开发新的创新和直观的概念，用于在基于Web的环境中显示和交互（多模式）图形。主题（5）评估和（6）实施和维护的概念将支持研究技术的质量和可持续性。SoNAR（IDH）将通过提供统一和简化的历史网络统计数据访问来支持未来的历史研究。

SoNAR (IDH) elaborates systematically, application-oriented best practice-approaches for the development of an integrated e-Research-Technology. It involves the examination of historical networks with methods of the Social Network Analysis (SNA). The technology is based on dispersed data repositories compliant with library and archival metadata standards as well as connected with authority files for entity identification.Gradually, the project will develop a prototype to demonstrate economic and technical validity of integrated technical components and elaborates a concept for a sustainable implementation and maintenance of the e-Research-Technology. To achieve its objectives, the project is subdivided to work on six topics: (1) Data preparation: The original data (meta- and authority records, full texts) of dispersed data repositories will be processed for statistical analysis. It includes tools to identify and link entities in full texts with authority records. (2) Data management: Access to the prepared data will comply with scientific requirements for quantitative analysis: reproducibility, persistent identification, and verification of data (provenance). (3) Exemplary research design: It lays the foundation for a solid service portfolio of the research technology for a structured social network analysis, and thus to integrate SoNAR (IDH) into theresearch process. (4) Visualization and interface design: The project will develop new innovative and intuitive concepts for displaying and interacting with (multimodal) graphs in a web-based environment. The topics (5) evaluation and (6) concept for implementation and maintenance will support quality and sustainability of the research technology. SoNAR (IDH) will support future historical research by providing aunified and simplified access to statistical data for historical networks.
