This document describes the steps that are done by the “prep_dataset” script, which harvests and builds the RDF dataset for the Belfast Group Poetry|Networks website, which is used in part as the basis for the network graphs and chord diagrams. Prior to running the script, significant work was required to 1) to tag names in the EAD and TEI and 2) expose the tagged information as RDF so it could be harvested, but this work is documented elsewhere.
