Gabii Goes Digital

Gabii Goes Digital

Overview
The Gabii Goes Digital Project provides an opportunity to develop innovative modes of publication for our own data, and to address broader issues in the communication and publication of born digital, non-traditional data sources in the humanities and social sciences. This project is composed of four tasks: consultation, peer reviewer community building, content creation, and peer review process development.

Consultation
In the early stages of this project we will conduct a survey of needs. The aim of this survey is to identify key issues and concerns about the peer reviewed publication of 3d models and related complex digital content. We aim to circulate the survey in academic, publishing, and cultural heritage management and government agency circles, so that the results will be representative of the views of the different communities involved in the publication and review processes.

AWOL is a project of Charles E. Jones, Tombros Librarian for Classics and Humanities at the Pattee Library, Penn State University

AWOL began with a series of entries under the heading AWOL on the Ancient World Bloggers Group Blog. I moved it to its own space here beginning in 2009.

The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available.

The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.

AWOL is the successor to Abzu, a guide to networked open access data relevant to the study and public presentation of the Ancient Near East and the Ancient Mediterranean world, founded at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago in 1994. Together they represent the longest sustained effort to map the development of open digital scholarship in any discipline.

AWOL is syndicated to Facebook and Twitter.
