Place name index on data.copticscriptorium.orgIt is our great pleasure to announce the latest release of data from
Coptic Scriptorium, version 4.0.0. This release contains both new Coptic
material and extensive additions to our suite of tools and annotations,
focusing on the addition of support for entity annotation and named-entity linking across our new and old datasets. The new material, including more digitized data courtesy of the Marcion project and other scholars, includes:
John of Constantinople, on Penitence and Abstinence (annotations by Mitchell Abrams, Lance Martin and Amir Zeldes)
Pseudo-Chrysostom: (Elizabeth Davidson, Mitchell Abrams, Lance Martin, Amir Zeldes)
More Apophthegmata Patrum (Hayley Curtis, Elizabeth Davidson, Duncan Feiges, Elizabeth Platte, Caroline T. Schroeder, Amir Zeldes)
Further material from Shenoute’s works:
God Says Through Those Who Are His
(including parallel witnesses and new material, data courtesy of David
Brakke, annotations by Rebecca Krawiec, Lance Martin, Dana Robinson,
Caroline T. Schroeder)
Some Kinds of People Sift Dirt (data courtesy of David Brakke, annotations by Christine Luckritz Marquis, Caroline T. Schroeder, Amir Zeldes)
With this new release, the semi-automatically annotated data
(excluding automatically processed Bible materials) in the project
covers close to 260,000 words of Sahidic Coptic annotated for entities,
including 50,000 words of gold-standard treebanked data with manual
syntactic analyses.
In addition to new texts, new tools and analyses have been added to the project:
Complete entity annotation, classifying all non-pronominal references to people, places and other entities into 10 entity categories
Entity linking:
Linking
of all named entities which have corresponding Wikipedia articles to
their respective Wikipedia entries, including geo-location information
where available
A browseable index of people and places mentioned in the texts, also linked to Wikipedia and Google Maps and including both real and fictional entities
A new neural parser adapted for Coptic with higher accuracy syntactic analyses, which are deployed in ANNIS (work by Luke Gessler)
The new configurable Analytic Visualization with toggleable entity types and linksThis release represents a tremendous amount of work over the past few
months by the entire Coptic Scriptorium team. We would also like to
thank individual contributors (which you can always find in the
‘annotation’ metadata for each document) and the Marcion and PAThs projects who shared their data with us, and the National Endowment for the Humanities for
supporting us. We are continuing to work on more data, links to other
resources and new kinds of annotations and tools. Please let us know if
you have any feedback!
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.
