Factoid model
The Factoid model is a data model used in the field of prosopography. It is one of the most frequently used data models in modern database prosopography projects. The concept of a factoid in the sense used in the model has been attributed to historians Dion Smythe and Gordon Gallacher, and the wider model was primarily elaborated by computer scientist and prosopographer John Bradley.
