3 Facts about Catalogus Professorum Lipsiensis (CPL) In 2009 University of Leipzig celebrated 600th anniversary 2nd oldest University in Germany Prosopographical catalog containing facts about 2,000 professors 15,000 associated periods of life 400 institutions The resulting OWL knowledge base consists of 210,000 triples in core CPL 180,000 manually added 3 / 19

4 Prosopographical research Analysis of common characteristics of historical groups Statistically relevant quantities of individual biographies Research use cases: Historical social network analysis Academic self-complementation analysis Relationship between religion, society and university 4 / 19
