MUDIRA: MUnich DIgital Research Archives
http://mudira.gwi.uni-muenchen.de/x/pic/screen.png
MUnich DIgital Research Archives ist ein im Frühjahr 2012 gestartetes Gemeinschaftsprojekt des Instituts für Ägyptologie der LMU München und des Staatlichen Museums Ägyptischer Kunst München (SMÄK), in welchem die umfangreichen Bildbestände beider Institutionen zu Altägypten digitalisiert und zugänglich gemacht werden. In der ersten (auf 2 bis 3 Jahre angelegten) Projektphase werden etwa 30.000 als Kleinbild-Diapositive vorliegende Originalaufnahmen aus Ägypten sowie von Beständen ägyptischer Museen und Sammlungen professionell gescannt und im Rahmen einer durch die IT-Gruppe Geisteswissenschaften (ITG) der LMU erstellten Datenbank online präsentiert. Ziele des Projektes sind die Erleichterung des Zugangs zu den Bildern, die wissenschaftliche Aufbereitung der dazugehörenden Informationen sowie letztendlich der Erhalt der oftmals wissenschaftshistorisch bedeutsamen Abbildungen auf einem zeitgemäßen Speichermedium. Der UNI DIA Verlag hat zudem seine knapp 6.000 Bilder zu Altägypten in digitalisierter Form zur Verfügung gestellt. Diese Bilder sind bereits komplett bearbeitet und abrufbar. In einem zweiten Schritt soll dann die Glasplattensammlung des Münchner Ägyptologischen Instituts digitalisiert und aufbereitet werden.

Publié tout d'abord en plusieurs livraisons annuelles, le BCH se structure en deux fascicules semestriels à partir de 1920. Le premier réunit des études et des articles de synthèse et le second rassemble principalement le rapport sur les travaux de l’Ecole française d’Athènes et rend compte des chroniques des fouilles et des découvertes archéologiques faites en Grèce et à Chypre. La Chronique des fouilles en Grèce et à Chypre constituent des instruments de travail irremplaçables, assurant une large diffusion à la revue. Doté d'un comité de lecture, le BCH est largement ouvert aux savants étrangers et publie des articles dans les grandes langues européennes.

ARIADNE - archaeological research data infrastructure

0
0
ARIADNE
ARIADNE brings together and integrates existing archaeological research data infrastructures so that researchers can use the various distributed datasets and new and powerful technologies as an integral component of the archaeological research methodology.  There is now a large availablity of archaeological digital datasets that all together span different periods, domains and regions; more are continuously created as a result of the increasing use of IT.  The are the accumulated outcome of the research of individuals, teams and institutions, but form a vast and fragmented corpus and their potential has been constrained by difficult access and non-homogenous perspectives.

Ariadne will enable trans-national access of researchers to data centres, tools and guidance, and the creation of new Web-based services based on common interfaces to data repositories, availability of reference datasets and usage of innovative technologies.  It will stimulate new research avenues in the field of archaeology, relying on the comparison, re-use and integration into current research of the outcomes of past and on-going field and laboratory activity.  Such data are scattered amongst diverse collections, datasets, unpublished fieldwork reports (grey literature), and in publications.  The latter still being the main source of knowledge sharing.  Ariadne will contribute to the creation of a new community of researchers ready to exploit the contribution of Information Technology and to incorporate it in the body of established archaeological research methodology.

To achieve this result the project will use a number of integrating technologies that build on common features of the currently available datasets, and on integrating actions that will build a vibrant community of use.

Welcome to the work in progress that is the all-new incarnation of iTanakh! It’s well past time for iTanakh to get a facelift, to move from static HTML pages to a more dynamic database structure, and to implement social features like rating and commenting on links. It will take some time for me to migrate old links to the new structure (if you’d like to volunteer to help, please e-mail cheard at pepperdine dot edu), so please be patient! In the meantime, you can still access the classic iTanakh interface here.

Aegeus Image Database
http://www.aegeussociety.org/images/uploads/headers/image-database.jpg
The aim of the suggested project is to create a collection of digital images originating from publications/studies of archaeological material on the prehistoric Aegean. The images come from archaeological books (which are not subject to copyright) of great importance and value, which have been published in previous centuries. Most of them are works of well-known Greek and foreign archaeologists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries such as Heinrich Schliemann (excavator of Troy, Mycenae, and Tiryns), Christos Tsountas (excavator of the most important prehistoric sites in the Cyclades), and Sir Arthur Evans (excavator of Knossos).

The digital documentation of this iconographic material will contribute to the preservation and dissemination of a very important chapter in the history of  the research of the prehistoric Aegean. The old age of these publications/studies renders the images rare and prohibits their repeated reproduction (digital or otherwise) by individuals or institutions. Moreover, the earlier depictions of important Greek prehistoric monuments have their own epistemological, historical, and aesthetic value beyond their given archaeological significance. The digitised photographic material will therefore have multiple recipients, ranging from strictly academic circles and museologists, to teachers and students, to artists, as well as the general public. Free access to this collection will help to promote Greek culture through our prehistoric heritage.

A Digital Tutorial For Ancient Greek Based on White's First Greek Book 
Created by Jeff Rydberg-Cox (Classical and Ancient Studies Program, University of Missouri-Kansas City)
John William White's First Greek Book was originally published in 1896. The book contains a guided curriculum built around the language and vocabulary of Xenophon’s Anabasis. This digital tutorial is an evolving edition that is designed to run on both traditional browsers, tablet devices, and phones. Each lesson includes drill and practice exercises in addition to the text itself. The site also includes tab-delim
ited files for all of the vocabulary and grammar that can be imported into flashcard programs.
This is a work in progress that is taking shape through the winter of 2012 and spring of 2013. Expect things to change and know that you will find errors as you use this tutorial.
For more information about the design of the tutorial, you can read a preprint of an article that will be published the journal Classical World or a presentation from the 2013 meeting of the Digital Classics Association.

Catalogus Philologorum Classicorum (CPhCl)
http://www.aristarchus.unige.it/cphcl/images/banner.gif
THE CATALOGUS
The Catalogus Philologorum Classicorum (CPhCl) provides a reference tool for all those who study greek and latin antiquity, specifically useful for studies on the history of classical scholarship in the modern age. It is an encyclopaedic lexicon collecting the bio-bibliographical data about classical philologists and it is a continuation and improvement of W. Pökel’s Philologisches Schriftstellerlexikon, Leipzig 1882. Only deceased scholars are included.


THE HISTORY OF THE CATALOGUS
The Catalogus started off with the 1984 CNR international conference "La filologia classica nel secolo XX" (strongly supported by Scevola Mariotti) and with its proceedings, published in Pisa in 1989. Subsequently the preparation of a Catalogus Philologorum Classicorum has begun at the Dipartimento di Filologia Classica of the University of Pisa, with the financial support of CNR, and has been on-line since 2003, within the web-site Aristarchus, thanks to a cooperation between the Dipartimento di Filologia Classica of the University of Pisa and the Dipartimento di Archeologia e Filologia Classica (D.AR.FI.CL.ET.) of the University of Genoa

.
THE CATALOGUS TODAY
The CPhCl has become an international network since 2009. The central unit, which has its head office at the Dipartimento di Archeologia e Filologia Classica of the University of Genoa, is responsible for the coordination and supervision of the whole project, as well as the administration of the website. The cards concerning the scholars have been attributed to the local units according to geographic and linguistic criteria. A three-letter abbreviation identifies the country of the unit which is responsible for each card.

    Philologisches Schriftsteller-Lexikon von Wilhelm Pökel

    Das Beiwerk der gedruckten Ausgabe finden Sie hier.

    Zu den Online-Beständen gelangen Sie hier.

    Vorwort zur digitalisierten Fassung von Wilhelm Pökel, Philologisches Schriftsteller-Lexikon. Leipzig (1881-) 1882. VIII u. 328 S. (unveränderte Neudrucke Darmstadt 1966 und 1974).

    Nachdem Friedrich August Ecksteins „Nomenclator philologorum“ (Leipzig 1871) durch Johannes Saltzwedel schon vor einiger Zeit online gestellt worden ist, folgt nunmehr Wilhelm Pökels „Philologisches Schriftsteller-Lexikon“ (Leipzig 1882). Während Eckstein (1810-1885) die Viten der aufgenommenen Gelehrten ausführlich dargestellt hat, liegt bei Pökel (1819-1897) – Eckstein ergänzend – der Schwerpunkt auf dem Verzeichnis der Werke. Dagegen beschränkt er die Angaben zum Leben auf das Notwendigste und fügt gelegentlich, ähnlich wie Eckstein, Hinweise zur Literatur über die behandelten Gelehrten hinzu.
    Das Pökelsche Werk ist ursprünglich in Lieferungen erschienen, die erste und zweite Lieferung (= S. 1-128) lagen bereits 1881 im Druck vor. Zwei Rezensionen, jeweils anonym, sind mir dazu bekannt geworden: Philologische Rundschau 1, 1881, 1322-1324 (Lief. 1) und Philologische Wochenschrift 1, 1881, 116-117 (Lief. 1 und 2). Die dort gegebenen Addenda und Corrigenda (und diejenigen anderer) hat Pökel im Wesentlichen in seinen „Berichtigungen und Nachträgen“ (S. 313-328) berücksichtigt, deren großer Umfang zu diesem Teil darin seine Erklärung findet. Pökels Berichtigungen sind in die vorliegende Online-Version eingearbeitet worden. Dabei ist folgendermaßen verfahren worden:
    1. An erster Stelle steht die endgültige Fassung eines Artikels, in welche die Pökelschen Berichtigungen eingefügt worden sind. Liegen keine Berichtigungen vor, so ist dies die einzige Fassung.
    2. Liegen dagegen Berichtigungen Pökels vor, so folgt an 2. Stelle die originale Version des Artikels ohne die Berücksichtigung der Berichtigungen.
    3. An dritter Stelle folgen dann die Berichtigungen und Nachträge Pökels in der Original-Fassung. So ist gewährleistet, daß jeder Benutzer selbst überprüfen kann, ob in der an erster Stelle stehenden Fassung alle Berichtigungen korrekt angebracht sind. Der Fall, daß Nachträgen ihrerseits wieder Berichtigungen hinzugefügt sind (Addendis Addenda), kommt zweimal vor, bei Benoist (S. 315 und 328) und Chandler (S. 318 und 328).
    4. Einige Personen, die Pökel zunächst übersehen hatte oder die auf Grund ihres jungen Alters im Jahre 1879/80 noch gar nicht berücksichtigt werden konnten, hat Pökel in den Nachträgen mit einem Eintrag bedacht. Diese Artikel sind mit in die Sammlung aufgenommen worden.
    5. Einigen Artikeln hat Pökel Fußnoten hinzugefügt, auf die durch einen Asteriscus hingewiesen wird. Diese Fußnoten, die bei Pökel am unteren Seitenrand stehen, folgen jetzt unmittelbar in den betreffenden Artikeln.
    Die einzelnen Artikel sind, wenn entsprechende Angaben vorliegen, in drei Abteilungen gegliedert:
    1. Angaben zur Vita.
    2. Verzeichnis der Werke.
    3. Angaben zu Nekrologen oder sonstiger Literatur zu dem betreffenden Gelehrten.
    Pökel selbst hat die unter 1 gegebenen Angaben nicht abgetrennt, wohl aber die unter 3. stehenden, allerdings wenig konsequent: Bald sind sie in Petitdruck nach einem Absatz, bald im Normaldruck ohne Absatz nach einem Gedankenstrich hinzugefügt, im letzteren Fall allerdings nicht immer korrekt; und vor allem ist oftmals nur schwer ersichtlich, ob sich die Angaben auf Werke des Betreffenden beziehen oder auf Sekundärliteratur.
    Am Bestand innerhalb der Sammlung ist nichts geändert worden. Friedrich Wilhelm Pökel (1819-1897) selbst, der weder im Eckstein noch in Pökels eigenem Lexikon verzeichnet war, ist nun in unsere Sammlung neuerstellter Philologischer Biographien aufgenommen worden.
    Daß sich bei einem derartigen Werk, zumal es fern größerer Bibliotheken in einer Provinzstadt (Prenzlau) entstanden ist (s. Pökels Vorwort), zahlreiche Fehler und Ungenauigkeiten eingeschlichen haben, ist nicht verwunderlich. Einige offensichtliche Versehen, die mir aufgefallen sind, habe ich verbessert; alle Ergänzungen und Verbesserungen sind in eckigen Klammern hinzugefügt worden, lediglich in den Eintrags-Titelzeilen wurden etwaige Korrekturen direkt übernommen, um das Auffinden der Artikel zu erleichtern. Vgl. z.B. unter Dittenberg(er), Wilhelm; Faber, Pierre; Omnibonus (Ognibene), Vincentino; Powel(l), Griffith; Riemann, Othon; Schömann, Friedr. Georg; Schrader, Johannes; Seider, August; Stürenburg, Rudolf; Trieber, Conrad.
    Trotzdem werden viele Versehen nicht behoben sein; denn es konnte nicht Aufgabe der Online-Stellung sein, eine völlige Revision des „Pökel“ vorzunehmen.
    Pökel hat der Raumersparnis wegen zahlreiche Abkürzungen verwendet, die – außer in den Publikationstiteln – weitgehend aufgelöst wurden; da seine „Erklärung der am meisten angewandten Abkürzungen“ (S. 328) besonders für den nicht regelmäßigen Benutzer völlig unzureichend ist, gebe ich unten zudem eine erweiterte Liste von ihm benutzter Abkürzungen.
    Alles in der gedruckten Ausgabe enthaltene Beiwerk, das keinem einzelnen Artikel zugeordnet ist, finden Sie gesammelt hier
    Folgende wissenschaftliche Hilfskräfte haben bei der Digitalisierung und Redaktion der Online-Stellung des „Pökel“, die nicht ohne die kontinuierliche Betreuung durch Daniel Deckers zustandegekommen wäre, mitgewirkt (in zeitlicher Reihenfolge):
    Julia Niedenzu, Anna-Charlotte Vehling, Sabrina Engert, geb. Heldendrung, Anja Braumann (letztere war vor allem mit der Endredaktion beschäftigt), Sarah Liedtke.
     And see also the Catalogus Philologorum Classicorum (CPhCl), "an encyclopaedic lexicon collecting the bio-bibliographical data about classical philologists and it is a continuation and improvement of W. Pökel’s Philologisches Schriftstellerlexikon, Leipzig 1882. Only deceased scholars are included."

    ABSTRACT- This research is focused on the functional analysis of some of the pointes à dos, which could have been used as projectile points, from Riparo del Castello (PA, Italia), which date to the final Epigravettian. During the experimental work, impacts have been experimentally reproduced and compared with those identified in the archaeological record. 
    In particular, the author reproduced those points that show distinct and neat impacts, and used them for the creation of weapons which could have likely been used for hunting - javelin and arrow. At this point, he tested their ballistic, also verifying their ‘killing power’ and the various differences in damage patterns. The results show that two distinct functional types of tool can be identified among the backed pointed tools from Riparo del Castello: one which was used for manufacturing arrows and one for javelins.

    The Digital Classicist Wiki
    The Digital Classicist is a hub for scholars and students interested in the application of humanities computing to research in the ancient and Byzantine worlds. This wiki collects guidelines and suggestions of major technical issues, and catalogues digital projects and tools of relevance to classicists. The wiki also lists events, bibliographies, publications (print and electronic), and other developments in the field. A discussion group serves as grist for a list of Frequently Asked Questions. As members of the community provide answers and other suggestions, these will graduate into independent wiki articles providing work-in-progress guidelines and reports.
    The scope of the wiki follows the interests and expertise of collaborators, in general, and of the editors, in particular. As a general principle, key sections of the website or summaries of discussions will, where possible, be translated into the major languages of European scholarship: e.g. English, French, German, and Italian.
    We seek to encourage the growth of a community of practice, which is open to everyone interested in the topic, regardless of skill or experience in technical matters, and language of contribution. To become a editor of the wiki, please contact one of the administrators (Gabriel Bodard or Simon Mahony). (The "create account" option has been disabled due to spam bots.) Consult the Wiki editing page to familiarize yourself with formatting conventions.
    The Digital Classicist is hosted by the Centre for Computing in the Humanities at King's College London, and the Stoa Consortium, University of Kentucky.

    Getty Vocabularies
    http://www.getty.edu/global/graphics/header/GRI-header.jpg
    What is cinnabar? What is a rhyton? The Getty vocabularies contain structured terminology for art, architecture, decorative arts and other material culture, archival materials, visual surrogates, and bibliographic materials. Compliant with international standards, they provide authoritative information for catalogers and researchers, and can be used to enhance access to databases and Web sites. The Getty Vocabularies grow through contributions. The vocabulary data is available for licensing and accessible free of charge below for more limited online use.
    AAT
    Catherine wheel or rose window? AAT is a structured vocabulary, including terms, descriptions, and other information for generic concepts related to art and architecture.
    CONA
    Mona Lisa or La Gioconda? CONA, a new vocabulary now accepting contributions, includes titles, attributions, and other information for art and architecture.
    TGN
    London or Londinium? TGN is a structured vocabulary, including names, descriptions, and other information for places important to art and architecture.
    ULAN
    Titian or Tiziano Vecellio? ULAN is a structured vocabulary, including names, biographies, and other information about artists and architects. 
    Getty Vocabularies as LOD: A project plan is under development for publishing the four Getty vocabularies as LOD successively, beginning with the AAT. It is anticipated that the data will be published as SKOSextended format under the ODC-BY 1.0 license. The current plan is to also continue providing the data as relational tables and XML. More details, along with information about the time line and status of this project, will be posted on the Vocabulary Program site.

    Current status:

    • In 2011 we worked with Marcia Zeng to develop a mapping of AAT to SKOS extended
    • In late 2012 we began the ‘Getty Vocabularies as Linked Data’ project
    • We identified our namespace as http://vocab.getty.edu
    • We worked with attorney to identify what type of CC license we are intending to use
    • We worked with an outside consultant to explore turning the mapping into published linked data
    • We are currently working on a prototype for AAT
    Next steps:
    • Complete the prototype for AAT
    • Draft specifications for publishing AAT, TGN, ULAN, and CONA as Linked Open Data
    • Explore the possibilities for outsourcing some of the work
    • Begin the implementation
    • Our current target is to have AAT available as LOD sometime in 2013

    Greek and Latin bilingualism beyond the upper class in the ancient Roman Principate

    Greek and Latin bilingualism beyond the upper class in the ancient Roman Principate

    Latin and Greek bilingualism during the ancient Roman Principate period was not the exclusive domain of the educated aristocracy. It was common across a broad spectrum of their society for various cultural and functional reasons.

    LAWDI 2013 Websites

    Drew University and New York University’s Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (ISAW) will host the Linked Ancient World Data Institute (LAWDI) from May 30st to June 1st, 2013. The venue will be the Drew University campus in New Jersey. “Linked Open Data” is an approach to the creation of digital resources that emphasizes connections between diverse information on the basis of published and stable web addresses (URIs) that identify common concepts and individual items. LAWDI, funded by the Office of Digital Humanities of the National Endowment for Humanities, will bring together an international faculty of practitioners working in the field of Linked Data with twenty attendees who are implementing or planning the creation of digital resources. LAWDI’s intellectual scope is the Ancient Mediterranean and Ancient Near East, two fields in which a large and increasing number of digital resources is available, with rich coverage of the archaeology, literature and history of these regions. Many of these resources publish stable URIs for their content and so are enabling links and re-use that create a varied research and publication environment. LAWDI attendees will learn how to take advantage of these resources and also how to contribute to the growing network of linked scholarly materials. The organizers encourage applications from faculty, university staff, graduate students, librarians, museum professionals, archivists and others with a serious interest in creating digital resources for the study of the Ancient World.

    The first Supplement to The Archaeology of the Hellenistic Far East: A Survey is now online.  Supplement 2 to follow.
    "This is the first of a projected series ofsupplements to my handbook to the archaeological literature on the Graeco-Bactrian and Indo-Greek Kingdoms, The Archaeology ofthe Hellenistic Far East: A Survey (Oxford: BAR, 2011). It contains more than two hundred additional items of bibliography, some, but by no means all, dating to the past two years. Many new publications appeared or were made known to me even before the initial volume came off the press. A still greater number of older publications have come to my attention in the meantime, whether through their appearance in the references of more recent works, suggestions from colleagues and students, or (increasingly commonly) through the serendipities of the internet..."
