Project:Data Resources

Sources

Availability

Over the course of creating lgbtDB (and before creation of lgbtDB even started), many relevant resources have unfortunately been lost to time or only partially archived. This section is meant to act as somewhat of an obituary for those sources:

• Knowsy
• LGBT Fans Deserve Better
• LGBTA Wiki
• Matt & Andrej Koymasky Home
• Pronoun Island
• Williamapercy.com

Technical Restrictions

Some external identifiers include a hash symbol (#) in the URL (for example, P689, for Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual Television Characters Page). Due to technical restrictions, it is not possible for these identifiers to resolve correctly in the current system. We are looking into potential solutions.

Other Formats

It is planned to make lgbtDB available via standard ontology formats (`.obo`, `.ttl`, etc.) in the near future. Currently, this requires significant pipelining to be built. This will include a complete download and re-upload of lgbtDB before exporting it using the RDF Dump Format tool. Once dumped, other tools will be used to reformat and create timed releases. Check back here for updates on this process.
