Base de données prosopographique : de la conception à la réalisation
Abstracts
The construction of a computerized prosopographical data base raises very particular difficulties, which can be solved only by a narrow cooperation among computer and history specialists. The present paper explains the elements which led to the choice of a relational base containing a genealogical type core as well as the solutions adopted for the specific problems of missing or incomplete data. The stress is laid upon techniques used to try to reconcile the ways of thinking and work of the historians with the reduction indispensable to data computerizations.
