Monica Berti (Universität Leipzig): »Canons of Ancient Historians in the Age of Linked Open Data«
The goal of this talk is to discuss characteristics of canons and catalogs of ancient literature in the digital age. The talk will present a project for extracting data about ancient Greek authors and works from still extant sources. The talk will show concrete examples about the extraction, annotation, and analysis of the language used by ancient authors to refer to other authors and works. The talk will address questions concerning the use of Linked Open Data best practices for collecting and sharing this data.
