Added description
Ancillary documents include letters from the Secretary of the College, notices of resignation, and announcements of commencements.
**1. Extraction – new entities & direct relationships from the PINAX metadata (file @file_pinax)**
```cheimarrOS
@file_pinax -> documents -> @faculty_meetings_metadata:document {
title: "Faculty Meetings of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania, 1850-1853",
creator: [

],
institution: @drexel_production,

language: "en-US",
description: "Minutes and resolutions from faculty meetings of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania, covering topics such as faculty appointments, student fees, room rentals, and graduation requirements."
}
```
**2. Synthesis – linking the new metadata to existing entities & building collection‑level abstractions**
```cheimarrOS
# Place entities not yet defined
@bennington_vermont:place {full_name: "Bennington, Vermont"}
# Subject concepts derived from the PINAX “subjects” list
@medical_education:concept {description: "Education and training in the medical sciences"}
@medical_degrees:concept {description: "Academic degrees awarded in medicine (e.g., M.D.)"}
@college_administration:concept {description: "Governance and administrative functions of a college"}
@medical_curriculum:concept {description: "Course of study and instructional content for medical students"}
@medical_students:concept {description: "Individuals enrolled in medical training"}
@medical_faculty:concept {description: "Teachers and professors in a medical college"}
# Collection‑level abstraction for the whole set of meetings (1850‑1853)
@faculty_meetings_collection:concept {
description: "Aggregated minutes, resolutions, and related images of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania faculty meetings (1850‑1853)"
}
# Direct links from the metadata document to subjects, places, and collection
@faculty_meetings_metadata -> subject -> [
@faculty_meetings:concept,
@medical_education:concept,
@college_administration:concept,
@medical_degrees:concept,
@medical_curriculum:concept,
@medical_students:concept,
@medical_faculty:concept
]
@faculty_meetings_metadata -> place -> [
@philadelphia,
@boston,
@bennington_vermont
]
@faculty_meetings_metadata -> part_of -> @faculty_meetings_collection:concept
# Link the image collection (already defined in subdirectory “Faculty_Meetings_Images”) to the same collection abstraction
@faculty_meetings_images:document -> part_of -> @faculty_meetings_collection:concept
# Show the relationship between the metadata document and the image collection (they describe the same set of meetings)
@faculty_meetings_metadata -> related_to -> @faculty_meetings_images:document
```
**3. Cross‑subdirectory synthesis – highlighting patterns & connections**
```cheimarrOS
# All creators listed in the PINAX metadata are already present as persons (or the college itself) in the “Faculty_Meetings_1850s” subdirectory.
# Thus the metadata document ties together the same set of individuals who appear in the minute‑by‑minute resolutions.
# Temporal span of the collection (1850‑1853) matches the range of meeting events defined in the minutes:
@faculty_meetings_collection:concept -> covers_timeframe -> {start: @date_1850, end: @date_1853}
# Geographic scope (Philadelphia, Boston, Bennington) mirrors the locations of specific meetings:
@meeting_1852_03_03:event {where: @boston}
@meeting_1850_11_09:event {where: @philadelphia}
# (Additional Boston‑area meeting captured by the metadata’s “place” list.)
# Subject concepts introduced here (e.g., @medical_education) are repeatedly referenced in the resolutions:
@resolution_dean_election:document {text: "...Dean shall elect one of their members..."} -> relates_to -> @college_administration:concept
@resolution_examination_commencement:document {text: "...Examination of candidates for graduation..."} -> relates_to -> @medical_degrees:concept
@resolution_form_association:document {text: "...Form an association..."} -> relates_to -> @college_administration:concept
# The image files listed under @faculty_meetings_images are the visual counterparts of the OCR‑derived minutes referenced throughout the 1850‑1853 meetings.
# Therefore, the collection abstraction unites textual (metadata, minutes) and visual (tif images) resources.
```
*All entities referenced above are either newly created (with `:type`) or previously defined in the supplied subdirectories. No common‑knowledge entities are re‑defined.*# Reorganization Summary The files were organized into two primary groups based on content and file type. The first group, 'Faculty_Meetings_1850s,' contains JSON files with textual content from Faculty meetings in the 1850s, focusing on administrative decisions and resolutions. The second group, 'Faculty_Meetings_Images,' includes corresponding high-resolution TIFF images of these documents. This strategy ensures logical grouping by content and file type while avoiding unnecessary duplication. ## Groups Created - **Faculty_Meetings_1850s**: Files containing minutes and resolutions from Faculty meetings held in the 1850s, primarily related to administrative decisions, motions, and resolutions. - **Faculty_Meetings_Images**: High-resolution TIFF images of Faculty meeting documents, corresponding to the JSON files in the Faculty_Meetings_1850s group.
