Historical Farm and People Registry – Turning static list entries into network nodes

The aim of developing the Historical Farm and People Registry is to create a reliable infrastructure for research involving data on people and places in Iceland from 1703 to 1920 based on official census in the period. This has been done by (a) establishing a reliable historical farm registry, (b) mapping census data onto the farm registry, and (c) connecting people between censuses, and thereby transforming the static lists of the censuses into an interconnected network of nodes. In the spring of 2024 an attempt is made to use AI solutions to suggest linkages between individuals that have not so far been linked, "finishing" the product as far as possible.

This presentation will outline the aim and scope of the project, explain the development process and problems encountered on the way, and demonstrate a use case for the "final" product.
