【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2014 年 07 月 28 日羅馬慈幼總部訊】 ─ 傳記包括一般傳記和聖人傳記。現在又有一種慈幼「人物錄」"personography"，這個名詞由一項新服務的數位發起人創造的。《慈幼資料出處》在六月底宣佈，英文電子版《慈幼資料出處》中，有一個內容豐富的「人物錄」，有助網絡瀏覽者，輕易尋找有關《慈幼資料出處》中各人物的資料及詳情。
這些資料只在《慈幼資料出處》電子版本中提供，透過XML文件，取得廣大網絡世界中的鏈式數據(Linked Data)。這有助確保有關這些人物的研究工作，更能融入於《慈幼資料出處》。
使用這「人物錄」，有兩種主要方法：
當你閱讀時，遇到一個以紅黑色標示的名字時，按下這個名字，使會看到有關這名字人物的簡短生平。
相反，如果你想更深入研習某一類別人物時，可使用快速參閱(Quick Reference) ─ 第一級協助(first level Assistance)，或使用主目錄尋找「人物錄」，便可找到一些可能符合你需要的類別。例如：
─ 早期慶禮院時代鮑思高神父的親密伙伴
─ 首個產生於慶禮院的聖召
－ 參與慶禮院的青年
－ 與鮑思高神父信念一致的青年
－ 皇室（意大利）
－ 貴族家庭等等
「人物錄」文件下載需時數分鐘，但開啟後卻非常容易使用。
有興趣人士可同時下載《慈幼資料出處》的XML文件及「人物錄」文件，作為參考資料庫。壓縮檔可於慈幼會網頁sdb.org下載。
Salesian "personography."
(ANS - RMG –Roma, 28 July 2014) – There is biography and hagiography. Now there is also Salesian “personography,“ a word coined by the authors of a new service. As announced at the end of June, the digital edition of the Salesian Sources in English now features a rich "personography" which allows web surfers to easily find information and details about all the people that are mentioned in the Salesian Sources.
It is a resource available exclusively for the digital version of the sources, provided through an XML document, enabling access to the vast world of Linked Data. It ensures that research on these people is more easily incorporated into the Salesian sources.
There are two main ways to use this personography:
Wherever you happen to be reading, if you come across a name – coded in dark red – you can click on it and find a short biography of the subject.
Conversely, if instead you want to learn more about a group of people in a particular category, you can use the Quick Reference - first level Assistance, or the Main Table of Contents to access the Personography, where you can find the possible groupings. For example:
• close associates of Don Bosco in the early days of the Oratory;
• first vocations from the Oratory;
• young people who attended the Oratory;
• young people with whom Don Bosco was in correspondence;
• the (Italian)Royal family;
• noble families ...
The Personography document may take a few minutes to download but , once opened, it is very easy to use.
Those interested may also download both the XML document of the Salesian Sources and thePersonography document as archives. Zip from the site sdb.org.
