GTN peripheral materials pt 1: eden's locked tomb reread
decided to start off with all the periphery in the print edition of gideon.
dramatis personae
i love the little italicized and before gideon's name. in my head it's read like "aaaaand last but most definitely not least.... GIDEON!!!!" like some kind of circus ringmaster. gideon runs out, shaking her clasped hands over her head like she won a prize fight.
all of these descriptions of the houses give me so many questions about the history of them. who is the Centurion of the second? or the shining dead of the third, and what is the procession? is there a physical tome that the eighth hold onto, or is it more metaphorical? (7-9)
also love the hint of abigail's mastery over the river by calling the fifth the "watchers of the river" (8)
the seventh being the rose unblown... the beautiful preservation of something very fleeting. life, beauty, passion.
the titles of people are very interesting to me too. the ninth house is so catholic coded. the fact that the tridentarii are princesses and their cavelier is a prince is super fascinating. isaac is a baron, dulcie is a duchess: it makes me really wonder about the power structures in each house. they're incredibly varying. a baron or duchess isn't normally the highest power in a country- still powerful, but not the same as a king- and yet they are the ones sent as the highest ranking scions of their house. i want to see the organizational chart for each house!
additionally: Rhodes, Tisis, Koniortos Court: are these cities? countries? municipalities? we know the library is the stronghold of the sixth, and it's a compound of sorts- like a miniature city of academia and history. i wish we could see a map of each house.
i want more clarity on what the fourth specializes in. combat for sure, spying is hinted at. FIDELITY, or faithfulness, is such a strong word.
i am also soooo curious about the fifth's structure. we know that they're rich from harrow's comments ("we are not becoming an appendix of the third or fifth houses", p. 58) and their "beautifully made" clothes (p.94) and from abigail, we see they are spirit magicians and "watchers of the river" from the book's opening poem (below). what's up with the koniortos court? koniortos is greek for dust or flying dust, with tracks with the fifth house presumably being on Jupiter. my assumption is that it's more of a royal court? especially because magnus is the "seneschal", which indicates a senior court position (more monarchical than judicial), and abigail is born AT court according to Judith's notes at the end of the book (p. 461-462).
opening poem
Two is for discipline, heedless of trial;
Three for the gleam of a jewel or a smile;
Four for fidelity, facing ahead;
Five for tradition and debts to the dead;
Six for the truth over solace in lies;
Seven for beauty that blossoms and dies;
Eight for salvation no matter the cost;
Nine for the Tomb, and for all that was lost.
no real notes here, except i think this is extremely relevant to each house and how their representatives on the first house act.
dedicating the next post to the Sermon and Judith's notes, as well as the naming guide Tamsyn provides!

14 15 26 37 for amity
14. What animal do they fear most? — she's not afraid of them but also amity does not fuck with cats.
15. How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first? — amity thinks really really hard about how to say something in a way that sounds intelligent and considered and like she reads a lot, and then when that inevitably is an indecipherable mess she gets exasperated and just says whatever it was she was thinking in the first place.
26. What is their preferred mode of transportation? — a nice car that someone else is driving. (two-for-two so far!)
37. Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists of numbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, putting things to melodies, etc)?  — like the library of alexandria, amity's notes app contains all human knowledge, every single one of her passwords, complicated diagrams and flow charts for the organizational bodies she's encountered. names and jobs of random npcs people she's met. annotated screenshots of important maps. definitions of bizarre arcane words she's learned. and also like the library of alexandria, once she closes the app she immediately forgets what she put in there and the knowledge is lost forever (or until she "cleans" it and deletes a bunch of important stuff by accident).

Archivists on the Issues: Sophisticated Bureaucracies, Archives, and Fictional Depictions [part 1]
Archivists on the Issues is a forum for archivists to discuss the issues we are facing today. Today’s post is by Burkely Hermann (me), Metadata Librarian for National Security Archive and current I&A Blog Coordinator. There are spoilers for each of the books, animated series, films, and other media he will be discussing. It was originally published on the Issues and Advocacy blog on Jan. 3, 2023. It was also published on my Wading Through the Cultural Stacks blog on Feb. 13, 2023.
Tumblr media
This organizational chart of the National Archives and Records Administration is an example of an archival bureaucracy
Large government, corporate, and private archives are bureaucratic. Even though the so-called Information Revolution threatened to upend existing practices within archival bureaucracies, and structures of these institutions, new records management strategies developed, in Europe and U.S., which are as hierarchical as previous methods. [1] Bureaucracy remains firmly entrenched, in language, practices, and strategies of collecting institutions, whether the National Archives or Library of Congress. In this post, I'll discuss the role of bureaucracies in archival institutions and connect my findings to fictional depictions.
Recordkeeping often lends itself to bureaucracy, whether in non-profit organizations, corporations, or governments. Sometimes practices change and reinforce the bureaucracy of these institutions. This can include discouraging creation of "rich narrative reports", while supporting archival classification and arrangement as an "infrastructural tool". Furthermore, some bureaucracies are repressive, affecting restitution of captured wartime records. [2]
Unsurprisingly, culture of documentation has changed from being transactional to bureaucratic as organizationally sophisticated bureaucracies first developed in the 19th century. Scholar Francis Blouin called for new principles about diplomatics, referring to study of form, creation, and transmission of records, and their relation to facts within them, and their creators, to order to "identify, evaluate, and communicate their nature and authenticity." [3] Blouin argued that bureaucratic culture produces transactional and literary records, systematic recordkeeping, analytic records, and records created in respect to "sovereignty of people in democratic societies". In Blouin's view, in such societies, public accountability necessitates "particular forms and genres of recordkeeping." [4]
Other scholars have noted growing complexity, changing nature, and interrelatedness of government bureaucracies. Recently there has been a tendency to "free up" bureaucracy while encouraging entrepreneurship and risk-taking. The latter undermines archival missions. [5] Modern bureaucracies have defined existing file systems, even as archivists and historians are presented with many challenges. This includes influence on archival theory, especially by Weberian bureaucratic thinking, and controlling access to records. This was even the case in Eastern Europe, with political shifts in latter years of the Cold War caused archival access procedures to change. [6]
Modern bureaucracies have produced a "sheer mass of records". In the past, this caused archivists to use sampling in order to determine "research potential" of records and appraise them. Even so, archivists continued to experience frustrations when "dealing with" bureaucracy, while being a part of complex bureaucratic structures, which can include competing groups. [7] More recently, there has been discussion of how various technologies can change bureaucratic processes, including in the United Nations and Vatican. Other scholars have asked whether the role of archives in the life-cycle of government records is a way of "holding democratic governments accountable". The latter is the case in Germany, which has a strict division between records management and archival functions, with records remaining in custody of government bureaucracies. [8]
Fictional depictions of bureaucracies reflect some of these realities. One of the best known examples are the Vogans in Douglas Adams' The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, who destroy Earth because the planet is in the way of a hyperspace freeway. They are the embodiment of bureaucrats. The Vogans are inefficient, with absurdly lengthy official processes, and their continued efforts to thwart "any real progress in the galaxy." Adams' makes clear a metaphor: the house of protagonist Arthur Dent will be destroyed by an uncaring (and extremist) bureaucracy, just as the Vogans are doing to the planet. [9] Archives are not directly shown, but characters in the 2005 film view a restricted archival record from the Magrathean Public Archive. The record cuts off before revealing the name of a supercomputer, with a message stating that information has been deleted, as I noted in my post on the Issues & Advocacy blog back in December.

Deconstructing Data Roles: Scientist, Analyst, and Researcher
Professionals with the ability to infer inferences from data are in great demand in the big data era. However, technical terms employed in data-related fields might lead to miscommunications.Using knowledge from Pune's Best DataScience Course, let's investigate the primary reasons behind people's fascination with data science.
Tumblr media
Data Researcher An explorer in the vast realm of data is what a researcher is like. Their primary duty is to collect and organize data from various sources. Think of them as information gatherers who look through datasets, databases, and other sources to find relevant content.
Primary Responsibility
1. Data Collection: They look through a range of sources, such as websites, surveys, research papers, and databases, to obtain raw data. 2. Data Cleaning: Raw data, which is often chaotic, must be cleaned and structured before analysis can begin. Data researchers are in charge of this initial cleanup. 3. Data exploration: Prior to diving into in-depth analysis, they conduct preliminary research to understand the structure, patterns, and potential insights within the data. 4. Documentation: Keeping thorough records of the procedures and data sources
Tumblr media
Data Analyst:
Once the data has been gathered and cleaned up, the data analyst ought to take over. Data analysts go through data to identify important trends, patterns, and insights, much like detectives do. Because they provide certificates and job placement options, I heartily recommend the Datascience Online Training if you're interested in learning more about data science. These services are available both offline and online.
Primary Responsibility
1. Data Interpretation: Data analysts use statistical techniques and visualization tools to identify trends and glean insights from data. 2. Report Generation: Often with the aid of tables, graphs, and charts, they compile their findings into concise and understandable reports and dashboards. 3. Visualization: When complicated information is presented visually, stakeholders can understand it more easily. Data analysts are adept at visualizing data using tools like Tableau, Power BI, and Python libraries like Matplotlib and Seaborn. 4. Data-oriented Suggestions: Based on their research, data analysts make recommendations.
Data Scientist:
The wizards of the data realm are data scientists. They can tackle complex problems because they have a special combination of subject knowledge, statistical experience, and programming skills.
Primary Responsibility

Understanding Business Process Modeling Notation
Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a method used to visually represent the steps of a planned business process from start to finish. It serves as a key component of Business Process Management (BPM), providing a detailed depiction of business activities and information flows necessary to complete a process.

History and Evolution
BPMN was initially developed by the Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI) and has undergone several revisions over time. In 2005, the BPMI merged with the Object Management Group (OMG), which subsequently took over the development of BPMN. In 2011, OMG released BPMN 2.0, introducing a more comprehensive standard for business process modeling. This version, now known as Business Process Model and Notation, expanded the set of symbols and notations available for creating Business Process Diagrams (BPDs). Additionally, BPMN has been complemented by the Decision Model and Notation standard since 2014, addressing decision flows in business processes.
Purpose and Benefits
At its core, BPMN aims to improve efficiency, adaptability, and competitiveness by providing a standardized visual representation of business processes. It serves as a common language for stakeholders involved in process understanding, implementation, and optimization, bridging the gap between business intent and technical execution. BPMN diagrams facilitate easier communication and collaboration among stakeholders, leading to the development of efficient processes that deliver high-quality results. Moreover, BPMN diagrams can aid in the generation of XML documents required for executing various processes, with standards like Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL).
Diagram Elements and Symbols
BPMN diagrams consist of various elements and symbols, including:
Flow Objects: Representing events, activities, and gateways within a process. Connecting Objects: Including sequence flow, message flow, and association, defining relationships between flow objects. Swimlanes: Dividing the diagram into pools and lanes to represent different participants or organizational units. Artifacts: Providing additional information such as data objects, groups, and annotations to enhance diagram clarity. Key Components of BPMN Diagrams
Events: Triggering actions that start, modify, or complete a process, classified into various types based on their function. Activities: Tasks or actions performed by individuals or systems, often detailed with sub-processes and variations. Gateways: Decision points within a process, directing the flow based on conditions or events. Sequence Flow: Indicating the order in which activities are performed. Message Flow: Depicting messages exchanged between participants across organizational boundaries. Association: Linking artifacts or text to events, activities, or gateways for additional context.
Sub-Models and Diagram Types
BPMN supports the creation of sub-models within diagrams to cater to diverse audiences, including private, abstract, and collaboration processes. Additionally, other diagram types such as choreography, collaboration, and conversation diagrams offer alternative views of process interactions and messaging flows.
Key Tips for Business Process Modeling
Clearly define the scope of the process, identifying its start and end points. Map the current business process to identify inefficiencies before modeling improvements with BPMN. Aim for diagrams that fit on a single page to enhance readability and understanding. Layout sequence flows horizontally and associations vertically for clarity. Customize diagram versions for different stakeholders based on their level of detail requirements. Use BPMN for process modeling, avoiding organizational structures or data flow representations. How to Use Lucidchart for BPMN Modeling
