Harvard Library commits $50, 000 to complete The First Thousand Years of Greek segment of the Open Greek and Latin Project

Harvard Library commits $50,000 to complete The First Thousand Years of Greek segment of the Open Greek and Latin Project <http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Awol-TheAncientWorldOnline/~3/cHAB7sSD41A/ne…> Posted: 31 Mar 2016 07:06 AM PDT Harvard Library commits $50,000 to complete The First Thousand Years of Greek segment of the Open Greek and Latin Project <http://www.classicslibrarians.org/harvard-library-commits-50000-to-complete…> March 31, 2016 Posted by Rhea Lesage under News <http://www.classicslibrarians.org/category/news/> For the past two years, the Open Greek and Latin Project <http://www.dh.uni-leipzig.de/wo/projects/open-greek-and-latin-project/> team in Leipzig has been collecting scanned editions of classical texts and running optical character recognition (OCR) optimized for Greek and Latin in an effort to build the largest and most comprehensive open-source library of classical philology to date. The Harvard Library has committed $50,000, using generous funding from Arcadia, to complete The First Thousand Years of Greek segment of the Open Greek and Latin Project. The First Thousand Years of Greek aims to serve as a prototype of the larger project and will permit researchers to freely search and access a digital corpus of Ancient Greek and download, modify and redistribute their textual data so they can fully exploit new methods of analysis. Harvard’s support will cover the raw data entry costs of corrected OCR and Text Encoding Initiative Extensible Markup Language (TEI XML) to help complete the list of standard Greek editions. Harvard College Library librarian Rhea Lesage is working with the Center for Hellenic Studies <http://chs.harvard.edu/> and the Open Greek and Latin Project team on this initiative. -- June Samaras KALAMOS BOOKS (For Books about Greece) 2020 Old Station Rd Streetsville,Ontario Canada L5M 2V1 Tel : 905-542-1877 E-mail : kalamosbooks(a)gmail.com www.kalamosbooks.com http://kalamosb.alibrisstore.com/ http://www.antiqbook.com/books/bookseller.phtml/kal

Interns will have access to the library resources and will have opportunities to engage with the scholarly community at the CHS. Interns will work approximately 175 hours over the course of the summer and receive $12.00 per hour. The work schedule is relatively flexible and provides ample opportunity to see Washington, D.C. The CHS will provide housing on-campus. This year, the publications internships will focus on the Open Greek and Latin Project<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-…>, in particular, a self-standing subset of it called the Free First Thousand Years of Greek. The goal is to make freely available the corpus of the first thousand years of Ancient Greek as attested in manuscripts with a modern search engine, the ability to download authors and works, the capacity for including textual variants, and numerous other features. The work involves a range of activities: scanning texts, verifying and correcting OCR'd texts, running a morphological parser on texts to test their integrity and correct errors, ensuring that the XML markup of texts is correct, uploading corrected texts to a GitHub repository, and so on. There will also be occasional work in other online publication projects of the CHS, such as A Homer Commentary in Progress or Particles in Ancient Greek Discourse, which will include archiving publications, editing texts, and entering data into bibliographic databases.

A very interesting resource ... JS ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Papantoniou Nasos <npap1974(a)yahoo.gr> Date: 2016-03-09 16:41 GMT-05:00 hel Αρχική Σελίδα - Athens Social Atlas <http://www.athenssocialatlas.gr/> Social Atlas of Athens http://www.athenssocialatlas.gr/ The Social Atlas of Athens aims to highlight key structures and processes that make up the social fabric of the city and some of the many ways in which they are interwoven with the daily operation and wider, and the built environment. The plurality of entries comprising the atlas from current and past research work for Athens , which have generated data and interpretations are usually not well known. <snip> The Atlas constitutes, in part, a continuation of that adopted 15 years ago by the National Centre for Social Research and the University of Thessaly (Social and Economic Atlas of Greece. The Cities). It differs, however, because of its exclusive focus on Athens, but also because of this electronic form that allows both greater freedom in setting up the structure and, secondly, its continuing renewal by adding new entries and update existing ones. http://www.athenssocialatlas.gr/ ------------------------ June Samaras KALAMOS BOOKS (For Books about Greece) 2020 Old Station Rd Streetsville,Ontario Canada L5M 2V1 Tel : 905-542-1877 E-mail : kalamosbooks(a)gmail.com www.kalamosbooks.com http://kalamosb.alibrisstore.com/ http://www.antiqbook.com/books/bookseller.phtml/kal
