**Knowledge‑graph extraction & synthesis for the 1851 Hunt Collection (PINAX metadata)**  

---  

### 1.  Create the collection entity described in the PINAX record  

```cheimarros
@hunt_1851_collection:document {
  title: "1851 Hunt Collection",
  creator: @angenette_hunt,
  institution: @drexel_university,
  created: @date_1851,
  language: "en",
  subjects: [
    "Medicine","Physicians","Medical Education","Women in Medicine",
    "History of Medicine","Thesis","Images","Historical Documents"
  ],
  description: "Collection of materials related to Angenette A. Hunt's 1851 thesis 'A Disquisition on the True Physician', including the thesis text and associated images.",
  source: "PINAX",
  place: [@pennsylvania, @hamilton_new_york]
}
```

### 2.  Relate the collection to its components (synthesis across sub‑directories)

```cheimarros
@hunt_1851_collection -> includes -> @true_physician_thesis
@hunt_1851_collection -> includes -> @thesis_images_1851_hunt_collection
```

*The collection aggregates the **textual thesis** (from *Thesis_Content*) and the **image set** (from *Thesis_Images_TIFF*).*

### 3.  Link the PINAX file to the collection (metadata provenance)

```cheimarros
@file_pinax -> documents -> @hunt_1851_collection {source: "PINAX"}
```

*Thus the same `@file_pinax` entry now documents both the original thesis and the higher‑level collection.*

### 4.  Connect creator, institution and location (cross‑directory synthesis)

```cheimarros
@hunt_1851_collection -> created by -> @angenette_hunt
@hunt_1851_collection -> held by -> @drexel_university
@hunt_1851_collection -> location -> @pennsylvania
@hunt_1851_collection -> location -> @hamilton_new_york
```

*`@angenette_hunt` (author of the thesis) is also the creator of the collection; the collection is housed at Drexel University and geographically tied to Pennsylvania and Hamilton, New York (as listed in the PINAX “place” field).*

### 5.  Map collection subjects to existing concepts (pattern identification)

```cheimarros
@hunt_1851_collection -> subject -> @women_in_medicine
@hunt_1851_collection -> subject -> @medical_education
@hunt_1851_collection -> subject -> @history_of_medicine
@hunt_1851_collection -> subject -> @true_physician
@hunt_1851_collection -> subject -> @medical_materialism
```

*All subject headings from the PINAX record correspond to concepts already defined in the thesis metadata, confirming thematic coherence across the textual and visual components.*

### 6.  Synthesis of temporal and thematic chains  

- **Temporal chain:** `@file_pinax` (metadata creation) → documents → `@true_physician_thesis` (submitted 1851‑11‑26) → later digitized as `@thesis_images_1851_hunt_collection` (TIFF images) → both bundled in `@hunt_1851_collection`.  

- **Thematic chain:** The thesis *advocates* for `@women_in_medicine` and *defines* `@true_physician`; the collection preserves these arguments in both text and image form, reinforcing the reformist medical discourse of mid‑19th‑century America.

**Resulting graph** links the PINAX metadata to the thesis document, its image set, the author, the hosting university, and the underlying scholarly concepts, thereby unifying the three sub‑directories into a single, coherent knowledge structure.
