In Digital Prosopography there are countless databases, such as biographical portals or the classic personal databases. These databases diverge considerably in alignment, structure and query options. The standardisation of data networking is correspondingly low; it concerns almost only the core of personal data (birth, origin, death) and links via identifiers such as VIAF (Virtual International Authority File) or GND (Gemeinsame Normdatei). A comprehensive or combined search, which would be a prerequisite for research on Contextualized Prosopography, is not yet possible. For example, research on social and geographical origin, education, professional positions, and the differentiated visualization of search results. The basic problem lies, on the one hand, in the hardly standardized ontologies of the databases and, on the other hand, in the technically limited query possibilities, often there is no API (Application Programming Interface). This is increasingly recognized as a disadvantage in historical research and hampers international research.
