InsAph: Inscriptions of Aphrodisias Online
InsAph: Inscriptions of Aphrodisias Online
The aim of this project is to build on the
experience gained on the EPAPP project. That
project, funded by the Leverhulme trust, allowed
us to develop a volume of some 250 inscriptions,
using the Epidoc markup principles; the
Inscriptions of Aphrodisias grant allowed us to
further refine the volume and publish it as
http://insaph.kcl.ac.uk/ala2004/.
In the course of that process we learned a great
deal about how to develop and apply the
guidelines; we also established some very good
relationships with other scholars in the field.
Our intention now is to develop the use of Epidoc
markup not only for the eventual publication of
inscriptions, but also as a tool for editing them
and preparing them for publication. We also
intend to work closely at every stage with other
colleagues and other projects, so that we can
support one another in developing our approaches
to electronic publication, and achieve a
reasonable level of compatibility between
projects.
On this site we intend to publish more material
from Aphrodisias, as it becomes ready for
publication. At the same time, the editors of the
inscriptions, Angelos Chaniotis (in Heidelberg)
Joyce Reynolds (in Cambridge) and Charlotte
Roueche (in London) together with the excavators,
Christopher Ratte (in New York) and Bert Smith
(in Oxford) intend to use the web as a work area
for preparing increasing amounts of material for
publication. We may well not be able to publish
all the inscriptions of Aphrodisias in this way
before the end of the project: but we should by
then have established the guidelines and the
protocols for doing so.
