# Analysis of the repository "Marburger Urkundenrepositorium"

This project mainly contains a Jupyter Notebook which provides examples for analysing the content of the ["Marburger
Urkundenrepositorium"](https://urkundenrepositorium.uni-marburg.de/home).

The repository is hosted by the Philipps-Universität Marburg and based on the Software DSpace (Version 8.1). It stores
about 18598 medieval charters from the former collections LBA and CAO and makes them publicly accessible.

## Content of this dataset

1. charter-repository_analysis.ipynb
The jupyter notebook which is used for the analysis. It provides some basic analysis which can easily be used as a
blueprint for further research questions. For instructions on running the jupyter notebooks, go to "Running the Jupyter 
Notebook".
2. requirements.txt
A txt files listing all required python libraries for the jupyter notebook.
3. kleio-example_11480.txt
An example for a record in the old LBA kleio database.
4. _cao-charters_map.html_ and _lba-charters_map.html_:  A html export of the geographic visualizations created in the
notebook.

## Running the Jupyter Notebook

To execute all cells in the jupyter notebook, it is at first necessary to install all requirements. We recommend using
a virtual python environment:
```shell
python3 -m venv ./venv # Creating a virtual environment.
./venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt # Install the requirements via pip.
```
Now you can start the jupyter server and open the notebook:
```shell
./venv/bin/jupyter-lab
```
Click _Restart the kernel and run all cells_ in order to run the notebook.
