Hello all,
I'm using OpenCalais to tag biographic information on notable individuals and identify items that they have deposited with an archive prior to their death. However, I'm struggling to tag a few small items and attributes and would appreciate suggestions from the experts on this group.
1) I notice that personAttribute is able to identify details about a person's birth, but not the date or location of their death. Is there any way that I can identify death date & location? Are there any plans to add this information as an additional personAttribute?
2) I would also like to identify items that have been given to an archive and the time period that they cover. The format used to describe these items varies between different cataloguers. Here is an example to give you an idea of the type of text I would like to tag: "Papers, 1959-1972, relating to publications by XXX, including correspondence, 1920-1930 with publishers and editors; manuscripts, typescripts and proofs of articles, books, 1919-1932, including papers, correspondence and press cuttings"
Is there any way that I could tag these items? I suppose they could be classed as a product, if you stretch the definition, but it is not ideal. Has anyone used an alternative approach?
