Five years after the March 15, 2018, announcement of the Scaife Viewer, we are announcing Beyond Translation,
the first version of the sixth generation Perseus (Perseus 6.0). The
current NEH-funded phase of work runs through August 2023. We have a
great deal of content to add and much to do with every aspect of the
system, but the basic features of Perseus 6 are now largely in place.
You can experiment with Beyond Translation
directly but it is not yet as transparent as it will (hopefully) become
as to what features are available and where those features are
available. A more proper splash screen will appear this summer but, in
the meantime, we have put up a first draft of information about the new
features and how you can get at them. We expect that documentation to
evolve as well.
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.
