The Historical Dictionary of Switzerland (HDS) is an academic reference work which documents ``the most important topics and objects of Swiss history from prehistory up to the present''.

The digital edition comprises about XXXX articles organized in 4 main headword groups:
- Biographies,
- Families,
- Geographical Entities and
- Thematical contributions.

Beyond the encyclopaedic description of entities/concepts, each articles contains references to primary and secondary sources which supported authors when writing articles.

We work on the list of references in all articles of the HDS, with three goals:

  1. Finding all the sources which are cited in the HDS (several sources are cited multiple times).
  2. Link all the sources with the SwissBib catalog, if possible.
  3. Interactively explore the citation networks of the HDS.

The dataset: lists of references in every HDS article:
