The E.A.T. Bibliography (Wikibase Project Page)

Background

The E.A.T. Bibliography [1], compiled by E.A.T. founder Billy Klüver, is a publication listing over 600 bibliographic references of printed material (books, articles, catalogs, and notices) published by or about E.A.T. from 1965 to 1980.The Semantic Lab has converted a significant portion of these references into linked data, now integrated into the E.A.T. Knowldge Graph dataset.

Project Description

The E.A.T. Bibliography lists over 600 published materials by or about E.A.T. from 1965 to 1980. The Semantic Lab has converted a subset of 447 references into linked data, covering the period from August 12, 1965, to December 30, 1969. A browsable view of the data can be found here.

The bibliography, as published, is divided into two sections: Bibliography of Documents, which includes materials published by the E.A.T. organization, and Bibliography of References, which includes materials published about E.A.T.’s activities by authors outside the organization. This categorization is not explicitly represented in our graph to avoid ambiguity, but it can easily inferred. In fact, all reference items are defined as either an instance of 'document'(by E.A.T.) or an instance of 'bibliographic reference' (about E.A.T.), and a more specific qualification is provided in the item’s description, when appropriate.
