Project Time Capsule(Oct. 2013-Oct. 2017)
Mission: the development of a digital data platform for
ethno-pharmacological knowledge (1550-1850), as a tool for medical historical and ethnobotanical research and educational purposes
Inspiration
Andy Warhol's largest collecting project (early '70s until his death in 1987): 600 cardboard boxes
How to fill the virtual boxes and how to move them in time and space?
Building an ontology that will facilitate cross-database queries and information retrieval
What are the user demands/needs?
C. Haris Saslis-Lagoudakis et al., 'Phylogenies reveal predictive power of traditional medicine in bioprospecting', Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS) (2012)
Purpose: historical mapping of the circulation of pharmaceutical knowledge
The history of botany = the history of pharmacy
