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，用于开发集成电子研究技术。它涉及使用社会网络分析（SNA）的方法检查历史网络。该技术基于符合图书馆和档案元数据标准的分散数据存储库，并与权威文件连接以进行实体识别。该项目将逐步发展一个原型，以证明综合技术组件的经济和技术有效性，并详细阐述一个可持续实施和维护电子研究技术的概念。为了实现其目标，该项目被细分为六个主题：(1)数据准备：将对分散数据存储库的原始数据（元记录和权威记录，全文）进行处理以进行统计分析。它包括用于识别和链接全文实体与授权记录的工具。(2)数据管理：对准备好的数据的访问将符合定量分析的科学要求：数据的再现性、持久性识别和验证（来源）。(3)示范性研究设计：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（多模态）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）将通过为历史网络提供统一和简化的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.
