Digital Encyclopaedia of the Hellenic World
The
Encyclopaedia of the Hellenic World (EHW) is an original electronic
project aiming at collecting, recording, documenting, presenting and
promoting the historical data that testify to the presence of Hellenic
culture throughout time and space. EHW includes entries that concern
geographical-cultural areas lying beyond the borders of the Hellenic
nation-state.
The EHW aims to offer a complete view of the
development, spatial dissemination of the Hellenic cultural phenomenon
through time. The issues under examination are not dealt with
individually, detached from the framework within which they were
created, but in relation to the geographical region in question as well
as the non Hellenic cultural traditions. EHW’s ultimate goal is to
contribute to the understanding of how Hellenic culture was shaped and
disseminated, taking under consideration its contacts and osmoses with
other cultural realities and traditions.
EHW’s entries cover the entire spectrum of the
Hellenic life and activities and take advantage of the results of
current research in relevant scientific fields. EHW draws information as
well from archives and archaeological excavations.
The electronic format of the EHW enables it to
utilize fully the new digital technologies regarding the design of
practical methods of integration, structuring and management of a
considerable volume of textual and audiovisual material. The
applications developed within the framework of the EHW’s design result
from general methodologies regarding the electronic and multimedia
presentation of historical and cultural information. In this way, the
applications can be useful during the process of other projects that
have a similar thematic content....
