Till GrallertI just figured out that combing markerclusters with layers in <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/SPARQL" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SPARQL</a> queries visualising results from <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Wikidata" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Wikidata</a> on maps can give you a nice coloured classification of periodicals by publishing language.Unfortunately the query is too long for posting it here ...Update: created a gist for this query at <a href="https://gist.github.com/tillgrallert/3999b5da1616107a483221bc04a420c2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://gist.github.com/tillgrallert/3999b5da1616107a483221bc04a420c2</a><a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/MultilingualDH" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MultilingualDH</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/ArabicPeriodicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ArabicPeriodicals</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Tunis" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Tunis</a>

Till GrallertI finally managed to write up some of the thoughts that went into contributing the bibliographic information on Arabic periodicals and their known holdings to <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Wikidata" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Wikidata</a>. I have published a preprint to Zenodo: <a href="https://zenodo.org/records/14112648" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://zenodo.org/records/14112648</a>.

Till GrallertI am excited to share some brief news on the recent progress we made in pushing bibliographic data on all <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Arabic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Arabic</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Periodicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Periodicals</a> published before 1930 and their editors to <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Wikidata" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Wikidata</a>: we did it! With a bit of SPARQL one can now browse our data set from <a href="https://projectjaraid.github.io/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://projectjaraid.github.io/</a> as a graph (<a href="https://tinyurl.com/jaraid-graph" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://tinyurl.com/jaraid-graph</a>), table (<a href="https://w.wiki/9rDP" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://w.wiki/9rDP</a>) or a map (<a href="https://w.wiki/9o3Z" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://w.wiki/9o3Z</a>).More detailed descriptions of our effort will follow in the form of blog posts (and potentially a longer thread).Holding data beyond <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/HathiTrust" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HathiTrust</a>, <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/OCLC" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#OCLC</a> and the German <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/ZDB" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ZDB</a> have not been pushed yet.<a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/PeriodicalStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#PeriodicalStudies</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/MultilingualDH" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MultilingualDH</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/ArabicPeriodicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ArabicPeriodicals</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Arabic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Arabic</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Ottoman" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Ottoman</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Mahjar" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Mahjar</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D8%AD%D8%A7%D9%81%D8%A9_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%B1%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%A9" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#الصحافة_العربية</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/DigitalHumanities" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#DigitalHumanities</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/dh" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#dh</a>

Till GrallertDear <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/BookHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BookHistory</a> hive-mind, I just came across a weird phenomenon: stamps on newspapers underneath (!) the printed text. The title in question is the magazine/ journal *al-Maḥabba* (المحبة), published in <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Beirut" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Beirut</a> from 1899 onwards (OCLC: 902810773). I have not seen this in other papers from the period and region. Currently I can only speculate as to the background to this practice. Since nobody bothered to remove the stamps before printing these might have been there to document some status of the printing paper. - stamp duty on paper? - officially supplied paper?Does anyone have an idea?Sample images can be found at <a href="https://images.eap.bl.uk/EAP119/EAP119_1_7_48/768.jp2/full/800,/0/color.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://images.eap.bl.uk/EAP119/EAP119_1_7_48/768.jp2/full/800,/0/color.jpg</a> or <a href="https://images.eap.bl.uk/EAP119/EAP119_1_7_40/640.jp2/full/2000,/0/color.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://images.eap.bl.uk/EAP119/EAP119_1_7_40/640.jp2/full/2000,/0/color.jpg</a><a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/ArabPeriodicalStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ArabPeriodicalStudies</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/PeriodicalStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#PeriodicalStudies</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/ArabicPeriodicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ArabicPeriodicals</a>

Till Grallert<a href="https://masto.nu/@bloodymar" class="u-url mention">@bloodymar</a> @histodons@a.gup.pe @journalism@a.gup.pe We have also a much larger dataset on holdings based on data from HathiTrust, German union catalogues, and AUB library. I haven't found the time to turn it into an actual website / catalogue (my original was to move most data to Wikidata for others to reference and re-use). You can find this dataset at <a href="https://github.com/OpenArabicPE/authority-files/blob/master/data/tei/bibliography_OpenArabicPE-periodicals.TEIP5.xml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://github.com/OpenArabicPE/authority-files/blob/master/data/tei/bibliography_OpenArabicPE-periodicals.TEIP5.xml</a>It would be great to be able to use Worldcat data but their API is famously inaccessible to not-so-wealthy institutions.<a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/AuthorityFiles" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AuthorityFiles</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/ArabicPeriodicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ArabicPeriodicals</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/LibraryHoldings" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LibraryHoldings</a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Catalogues" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Catalogues</a>
