To complement our “Annotation and User Guidelines”-page (which explains, among others, our rationale for how we create our transcriptions and how we designed the collection and its search functions), this page provides users with an overview of tags, relationships, and subject headings to help you navigate our collection.
- Tags: enhance clarity and specify the relation of an item to a
particular research focus; linked on item pages and as word cloud displayed at the bottom each page on ArchivalGossip.com/collection. (Please note: word cloud at bottom of ArchivalGossip.com relates only to blog posts and thus uses different terminology) - Relationships: adapted from Archive Relational Model by George Soules and implemented via the Omeka-plugin AvantRelationships, which
provides the opportunity to visually display relevant relationships
among items; terms and relationships defined by us specifically for the purpose of creating a gossip ontology and enable a better understanding of same-sex relationships are highlighted in bold. - Subject Headings: enable users to search the items for their specific interests via the “advanced search”-option. Additionally, there is a “refine search”-option enabled through the Facet Plugin. Our subject headings are adapted from Library of Congress subject headings; terms and relationships defined by us specifically for the purpose of creating a gossip ontology and enable a better understanding of same-sex relationships are highlighted in bold.
