	abstract = {Bradley and Short explore three prosopographies (Prosopography of the Byzantine World; Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England; Clergy of the Church of England Database) to demonstrate that seemingly unstructured data contains an underlying structure. Bradley and Short assert that it is important to understand the objective of a project in order to determine the nature of a project. In their case, they are no interested in digital editions but rather in a record of secondary source material. Bradley and Short argue that their is a common malpractice in scholarship of "squeezing" date: "trying to fit many shades of grey into a limited number of categories." It is important, therefore, to embrace plurality by aggregating one-to-many and many-to-many relationships. This will result in a collection of factoids that allows for the proper representation of "rich and complex objects."},
