Diktyon: Réseau numérique pour les manuscrits grecs
Diktyon is a scientific network of digital resources and databases on Greek manuscripts.
This network sprang informally from a workshop held in January 2013 at the
Institut de recherche et d’histoire des textes in Paris (see
conclusions of the workshop).
Faced with the proliferation of digital resources on the web and the
risk of dispersion of the data, the idea was to find ways to coordinate
different enterprises in the field of Greek manuscript studies.
The network operates through the presence of unique identifiers for
items that are common to the different resources (shelf marks, authors,
etc..). These identifiers are integrated in each database participating
in the network, which then develops the necessary scripts to query other
databases of the network trhough these identifiers.
The first step to create this network is based on the creation of
unique identifiers for manuscripts shelf marks that will be integrated
in the different databases from the beginning of 2014. The creation of
identifiers for other common items (authors, texts, people) will then
follow.
The Diktyon network is an open network that will extend to digital projects on Greek texts and manuscripts willing to join.
