This is a draft for an RESTful API for prosopographical data.

It should allow you to search for factoid modeled data on persons extracted from historical sources, and to update resources based on the model. With "factoid" model we refer to Bradley/Short 2005. See for an ontology of the factoid model: https://github.com/johnBradley501/FPO

Initiated by Georg Vogeler (Graz University, georg.vogler@uni-graz.at), but developed by the collective intelligence of the following bunch of people:

• Gunter Vasold (Univ. Graz)
• Thomas Wallnig (Univ. Vienna)
• Rainer Simon (AIT Vienna)
• (tbc)

Started in 2016

The major file in this is the swagger description of the proposed API (prosopogrAPhI.yaml). The rationale.md gives you some background to it.
