To Do

• Nauvoo Data
  • Add timestamp to the database tables (for when last edited, default to NOW())
  • Have the save button directly write back to the db (done)
• Networks
  • Look at the evolving network and how to conceptualize that for the social groups (AQ, etc)
    • is that a chord diagram of groups?
    • Networks of those things with connecting people, or something else?
  • Measure of connection between marital graph and social graph
    • how does it change if the marriage graph is matriarchal vs patriarchal?
    • Measure of the interaction between the graphs
  • Find other applications and domains for this marriage vs organization kind of comparison
    • SNAC
      • Chord is a document with people coming into it. People who are there because of context or because of content of the record. So, authors and consumers vs referenced?
      • Or, chord is a box (of documents, a collection) and people are connected to that box (by being related to that collection)
      • Vs (this would be the organization) Institutions where the people and documents are connected to their respective institutions.
      • That is, (question) how documents interrelate to institutions (like marriages and orgs)
• Background
  • Let Worthy know about:
    • Course material from Bruno
    • Results of reading papers, such as Characterizing Continuous Time Random Walks
• What is the Time Varying Network for organizations?
• Make notes on boundary conditions:
  • For marriage TVNs, we add boundary nodes (for parent marriages or child marriages)
    • Do we use one placeholder node?
    • Do we leave them out of the metrics we create?
    • Do we have one per boundary edge?
  • For snac, if someone is mentioned in only one document, we don’t have 2 ends of that edge in the network
  • What are our options?
    • Null nodes
    • single null node
    • dangling edge
    • self loop
    • edges that go to alternating bipartite graphs
  • What do the measures say in each case?
    • What people are connected to which other people?

To Discuss

1. Is there any update on the requirements from SIS? Do I need another class or math course?
2. Presidential Fellowship in Data Science with Adam. Should I do it?
3. Data Entry page is fairly complete. Few last straws to fix and a workflow to attach to the “Save” button
   • Do we want to use an open authentication method? Or write our own?
   • Do we want changes to be written to another database pending approval? Or directly modify our database?
4. Have MSSQL data dump. Has Worthy done conversion before?
5. Added the working set lists to the DB, but haven’t added those individuals to it yet.

Notes

• Nauvoo Data
  • Shayne will pull the SQL out of the MSSQL *
