PBWgraph

This repository is focused on the extraction of data from the Prosopography of the Byzantine World project (also here on Github) for import into a graph database. No particular effort is made to organise this repository into a proper Python project.

Contents of the repository are as follows:

• pbw.py: probably the main module of interest for others. This is an SQLAlchemy-based ORM library for accessing data in the PBW database.
• config.py: used for reading database connection information. Copy the file config-template.py to config.py and edit as necessary.
• dateparse.py: a module for parsing the wild and wonderful variety of date strings given in PBW into actual calendar dates.
• query.py: a script that uses the pbw module. Useful for examples of how the ORM is structured.
• RELEVEN/: scripts oriented specifically toward the RELEVEN project
• scripts/: miscellaneous scripts trying to use the PBW data
• tests: test scripts to make sure these things work
