Dataset

Currently, the dataset includes Norman monasteries in Sicily from the period beginning 1060 until 1194. It is available in various formats, including JSON-LD, N3, N-Quads, RDF/XML, TRiG, and TTL.

In addtion, the dataset includes the Hautevilles who ruled Sicily and southern Italy as well as a wide variety of individuals who were part of their extended family network. Developed from numerous published scholarly sources, the tree is both chronologically and geographically broad in an effort to situate the Hautevilles within numerous aristocratic families from across the European continent. With that said, the genealogy is meant to be suggestive, not comprehensive. While it is included in the complete dataset above, it is also available for download in various formats, including GEDCOM, JSON-LD, N3, N-Quads, RDF/XML, TRiG, and TTL.
