The Tableau workbook, composers-v2021-06-29-current.twbx, uses data from the fy21-composers.csv file to create a tree map visualization of the 189 composers whose works were added to the music library's collection in FY2020-21.
The visualizations created from this data can be viewed on the Lilly Music Library Collection LibGuide.
Additional details about each score, including a link to the library catalog record are available at https://bit.ly/scores2020-21.
Lilly Music Library collections data was exported via the analytics reporting process in Alma. MMS-IDs were used to pull and match Primo links with individual titles using a Python script. The data was cleaned using OpenRefine.
Demographic details about each composer were identified and added to the collection data, because this type of data is not available in library catalog records. Racial/ethnicity, gender-identity, and nationality data was reviewed from a variety of sources, including:
- DBpedia
- Wikipedia
- Library of Congress Linked Data Service
- VIAF
- Grove Music Online (Oxford)
- Individual composer websites
- Publisher websites
