Graphing relationships of homeless people photographed by Carl Durheim in Bern, 1852-3.
This code was written for the 1st Swiss Open Cultural Data Hackathon, 27-28 February 2015.
The idea of this project is to explore this collection of photographs from the Swiss Archives: Category:Durheim portraits contributed by CH-BAR. Currently, it is possible to download all of the portraits, parse the associated metadata and load it into a Neo4j graph database. The relationships between people and their places of origin are added to the db and can be browsed with the Neo4j browser interface.
- Download and start Neo4j. Open http://localhost:7474 in a browser.
