The EAGLE
Storytelling App is a WordPress plugin that allows users to write
blogpost, news, stories and narratives by citing and embedding content
from various web repositories related to the Ancient World (like
Pelagios, the iDAI.gazetteer, Finds.org and many more).
The web app is available on the EAGLE project’s official website. Users can create an EAGLE account and start writing their epigraphic-related narratives right away and publish them on the Stories page.
But right now, epigraphers that want to experiment with the
application can also install it on their WordPress-powered site easily
from the official plugin repositories!
The application is designed to work within the EAGLE user-dedicated
ecosystem (the search engine and the EAGLE collection of inscriptions
and images), but it’s easily customizable: new plugins to parse and
embed content from various sources can be implemented with minimal
effort. Currently, the EAGLE Storytelling App support content from:
What’s more, we provide an “EpiDoc
generic reader” that can transform any EpiDoc-compliant XML file into a
human-readable edition, with formatted text, images and all the
information.
The AWOL Index: The bibliographic data presented herein has been programmatically extracted from the content of AWOL - The Ancient World Online (ISSN 2156-2253) and formatted in accordance with a structured data model.
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.
