Update on the Wikidata Map of Accused Witches project - student intern finishing up 10 May 2023
[edit]- Our web developer, colleague Richard Lawson, has been asked to make improvements in line with our suggestions but we recruited a student intern, Claire Panella, to work part-time (22 February 2023 to 10 May 2023 0.2FTE) to support us in terms of quality assuring the data and making sure the data and visualisations are consistent and working as expected. Interviews took place 30th January 2023 from the 45 applicants shortlisted. Claire has been inducted and started with comparing the gender and names of 3,217 accused witches in the Survey database with the gender and names for the accused witches in Wikidata using R Studio to compare the information in the two databases.
- Claire has blogged about her experience and created a markdown document in R for anyone wishing to quality assure the data in Wikidata when comparing csvs from it with csvs from the 'golden copy' of information in the Survey of Scottish Witchcraft database. She has also created a sample 'change log' to keep track of any changes made to Wikidata and/or the Survey database so we can better track of amendments in the longer term.
- 8 x interviews were held w/c 10 April 2023 to recruit our next 'Witchfinder General' Data Visualisation intern for Summer 2023 (12 weeks 1.0FTE from 5 June 2023) with Ruby Imrie successfully appointed to the role.
