%T Automation on Parnassus: CLIO - A Databank Oriented System for Historians [1980] %A Thaller, Manfred %J Historical Social Research, Supplement %N 29 %P 113-137 %D 2017 %K digital humanities; Historical Data Bases; nominative record linkage; CLIO %@ 0936-6784 %~ GESIS %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-53920-5 %X To support several ongoing research projects the development of a general purpose system was started in 1978 at the Max-Planck-Institut für Geschichte in Göttingen. This paper describes the second version of that system. Controlled by a simple scripting language, its most important features are: (a) a flexible input system combining free field and tag/content representation of data that can be structured in very complex hierarchies, (b) a retrieval system, (c) a system for the interactive coding of historical sources. (d) Various ways of entering codebook like "thesauri" provide a cheap way to recode as often as necessary material of doubtful semantics. (e) A system for nominative record linkage is provided which supports name comparisons by two classes of algorithms. Base algorithms can be adapted to suit the dialects of a particular area by a simple set of algorithm defining directives. %C DEU %G en %9 journal article %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
