Abstract

In this webinar, Joe Raad walks you through BurgerLinker, a command line tool for linking civil registries. It allows researchers to link multiple civil records on the same person (e.g. birth, marriage and death certificates) to describe a life course. The webinar shows the entire workflow from data conversion to entity (person) linking.

Hi Richard - I've added Joe into the system now, so you can begin drafting up this resource.
As for the tags, unfortunately 'Civil Registers' is a bit too niche a tag at this point. However, I think there is a good argument for a 'Linked Open Data' tag, so I'll make a start on that one. This shouldn't delay you beginning to draft up the resource though.

Thanks - V
