Timebook

Timebook is a project started on the Hack4Europe event organized by Europeana on the Museu Picasso at Barcelona on June 2011. It's a project by Luca Chiarandini & Eduardo Graells, PhD students at Universitat Pompeu Fabra / Yahoo! Research Barcelona. This is made as an example of what a social network of the past would be.

Tools

  • Python - the language in which we have coded the site and the data import/parsing.
  • django - the web framework that powers the site's API.
  • Coffeescript - the language in which we wrote the client side scripting.
  • Agility.js - a tool in Javascript to code the client site structure.
  • Whoosh - the search engine that powers our search box.
  • Twitter Bootstrap - the design elements and layouts.

Data Sources

  • DBPedia - we parse linked data extracted from Wikipedia and build profiles (bio, basic information, connections, works, etc) and groups (built from categories).
  • WikiQuote - we parse the content from WikiQuote's dumps and match some of them (not all because the data is not linked) to our profiles.
