The ICCM Database
The ICCM Database (a database developed as part of the ICCM project ICCM) online offers the possibility of querying the database through two different but complementary tools: in SQL format with hyperlink navigation across entities (people, cultural objects, institutions, places, etc.) through preformatted reports, and using FileMaker online to access all source data.
The SQL query system is under construction. According to current plans (October 2012), you will be able to access tables of people, cultural objects (including books and technological artefacts), corporate entities, places and related information (such dates of birth and death, dates of publication, dates of establishment, latitude and longitude), and to retrieve information on any of the indexed items. A series of tools for performing more elaborate queries will be progressively made available.
Before querying the database, please click here to understand its basic structure.
