The KENOM project, a consortium of 13 German institutions contributing into a central numismatic portal, has been integrated into Nomisma.org. More than 4,500 Roman Imperial coins from three institutions (The State Coin Collection of Munich, the Coin Cabinet of the University of Goettingen, and Thuringian Museum for Pre- and Early History) have been made available Online Coins of the Roman Empire. All of these coins have been photographed at a high resolution and are published following the IIIF specification, which are treated as zoomable images in OCRE, and will eventually be useful for more sophisticated iconographic annotation.

Below is a fuller description of KENOM:
KENOM (Kooperative Erschließung und Nutzung der Objektdaten von Münzsammlungen) is a long time project of different numismatic collections in Germany to bring their numismatic objects (coins, medals, paper money and also coin find-informations) together online. There are a common internal database of the project for the data input and a portal of presentation of qualified data and images. Goals of KENOM are the harmonisation of numismatic data of the partners, the integration of open linked norm data and the definition and use of a LIDO-based data exchange format. 2012-2015 the project was funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, now KENOM is operated jointly. The strong technical partner of the project is the Gemeinsamer Bibliotheksverbund Göttingen. Today already 13 institutions present more than 33,000 numismatic objects together in the portal <http://www.kenom.de/>.
KENOM has developed lookup mechanisms that read OCRE and CRRO web services, making it easy for curators to link their collections directly to these Linked Open Data systems. The RDF data for OCRE were harvested from KENOM's OAI-PMH using a PHP script I put together yesterday afternoon. Project coordinator, Mario Schlapke, plans to write a more comprehensive post about the process of integrating KENOM with the wider ancient world linked data cloud.

En 1964, Hans Krummrey, insatisfecho con los diversos criterios de las ediciones y colecciones de Carmina Latina Epigraphica (CLE) que le habían precedido, lanzó la idea de una nueva clasificación de estos CLE en un volumen independiente del Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum (CIL), el que habrá de ser el XVIII, dedicado exclusivamente a los CLE y organizado según la geografía administrativa del Imperio Romano ("Zum Plan einer neuen Sammlung der CLE", Philologus 108, 1964, pp. 304-310). El citado trabajo constituye, en cierto modo, el acta fundacional del futuro CIL XVIII, cuyo fascículo 2, centrado en el material de Hispania está ya próximo a su publicación.

Pinakes Πίνακες: Textes et manuscrits grecs
[First posted in AWOL 6 July 2011, updated 2 May 2017]
Pinakes Πίνακες: Textes et manuscrits grecs
Pinakes Πίνακες: Textes et manuscrits grecs
Pinakes a pour objet principal le recensement de tous les textes grecs, des origines à la fin du XVIe siècle, contenus dans les manuscrits décrits dans les catalogues imprimés de bibliothèques à l’exception des papyrus. Les manuscrits sont retenus sans limite de date.Historique
À l’origine, la base a été constituée au Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies de Toronto et portait le nom de Greek Index Project (GIP). L’entreprise a été menée à bien par Walter M. Hayes de 1971 à 1985 et poursuivie par Robert E. Sinkewicz de 1987 à 1992. Trois séries de microfiches ont été publiées à Toronto entre 1989 et 1992. En 1986, un document décrivant le Greek Index Project, sa méthode, son contenu et son informatisation, avait été rédigé à Toronto ; il fournit des informations importantes pour comprendre l'état actuel de la base de données, ses limites et son contenu.
En 1993, le programme a été confié à la Section grecque de l’Institut de Recherche et d’Histoire des Textes (CNRS UPR 841, Paris), qui en assure la gestion et continue à l’enrichir. La base a reçu le nom de Pinakes en souvenir du premier catalogue des auteurs grecs, dressé par Callimaque de Cyrène, à la bibliothèque d’Alexandrie, au IIIe siècle avant J.-C.
Après plusieurs changements de logiciels et la rénovation complète de sa structure, la base est en ligne depuis le mois de juillet 2008.
Contenu
Au moment de sa mise en ligne en 2008, la base Pinakes compte 200 000 fiches ; elle recense les témoins de la tradition manuscrite de 13 000 œuvres, soit près de 40 000 manuscrits conservés dans 1300 bibliothèques du monde entier.Les informations données par Pinakes sont délibérément concises et succinctes. La base indique les auteurs et les œuvres contenus dans les manuscrits, les données chronologiques (siècle, éventuellement date) proposées par le catalogue saisi, mais ne retient de leur description codicologique et paléographique que les rubriques susceptibles de modifier l’appréciation portée sur le texte. En aucun cas, la base ne dispense du recours aux catalogues et répertoires, et plus généralement d’une vérification sur les sources elles-mêmes. La source utilisée est indiquée lorsque la saisie a été effectuée à Paris ; pour Toronto, ces informations sont manquantes : il faut supposer, dans la plupart des cas, qu'elles proviennent du catalogue principal pour le fond concerné.Pinakes ne peut encore fournir au chercheur une liste exhaustive des témoins manuscrits de l’œuvre à laquelle il s’intéresse, ne serait-ce que parce que tous les fonds n’ont pas encore été décrits, ou que certains l’ont été de façon trop sommaire. En outre, les introductions des éditions critiques ne sont généralement pas utilisées. Mais le recours à cette base permet de dresser rapidement une première liste de manuscrits contenant le texte étudié. Dans tous les cas, il convient de vérifier et de compléter, à l’aide des catalogues correspondants, les données obtenues par la consultation de la base.Les utilisateurs de la base Pinakes sont invités à signaler à la Section grecque les erreurs et manques qu’ils auront pu repérer au cours de leurs travaux ; l’IRHT sera heureux de recevoir un exemplaire des publications pour lesquelles les données de la base ont été utilisées.

Humanities Commons is a trusted, nonprofit network where humanities scholars can create a professional profile, discuss common interests, develop new publications, and share their work
Humanities Commons
Welcome to Humanities Commons, the sharing and collaboration network for people working in and around the humanities. Discover the latest open-access scholarship and teaching materials, make interdisciplinary connections, build a WordPress Web site, and increase the impact of your work by sharing it in the repository. Brought to you by the MLA.
Humanities Commons is a trusted, nonprofit network where humanities scholars can create a professional profile, discuss common interests, develop new publications, and share their work. The Humanities Commons network is open to anyone.
Humanities Commons is a project of the office of scholarly communication at the Modern Language Association. Its development was generously funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Humanities Commons is based on the open-source Commons-in-a-Box project of the City University of New York and the CUNY Graduate Center and is an expansion of the MLA’s MLA Commons, which launched in January 2013. The founding partner societies of Humanities Commons are the Association for Jewish Studies; the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies; and the College Art Association. Each society has its own Commons hub.
Humanities Commons was designed by scholarly societies in the humanities to serve the needs of humanists as they engage in teaching and research that benefit the larger community. Unlike other social and academic communities, Humanities Commons is open-access, open-source, and nonprofit. It is focused on providing a space to discuss, share, and store cutting-edge research and innovative pedagogy—not on generating profits from users’ intellectual and personal data.
The network also features an open-access repository, the Commons Open Repository Exchange. CORE allows users to preserve their research and increase its reach by sharing it across disciplinary, institutional, and geographic boundaries. Developed in partnership with Columbia University’s Center for Digital Research and Scholarship, CORE is underwritten by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities’ Office of Digital Humanities.
With the increasing commercialization of Academia.edu and with the chaotic nature of institutional repositories several scholarly societies have collaborated to develop Humanities Commons. My profile is here. I have begun the process of populating it. As soon as that process is complete, I will delete my Adacemia.edu account
CDLI News: New Semitic Museum images of cuneiform text artifacts
New Semitic Museum images of cuneiform text artifacts
CDLI has uploaded a final batch of fatcrosses (altogether 1174 files of 1155 CDLI entries) of Semitic Museum cuneiform artifacts that had not been completed during the period of Mellon Foundation support (closed in June of last year) when we were able to scan the collection. All 7,000 raw files that went into the production line for archival images were created, with his usual regard for quality, by then UCLA graduate student Michael Heinle, assisted by SM's always collegial Deputy Director and Curator Joe Greene, and Assistant Curator Adam Aja. For another week or two, these new images will be searchable with the phrase “new image” in the field "Collection number" at <http://cdli.ucla.edu/search/>.
<http://tinyurl.com/kkba5aj> is the full set, sorted by publication <http://tinyurl.com/mtodhqs> are 703 entries recorded to document Nuzi artifacts <http://tinyurl.com/l27yyzd> are 292 Ur III texts, of which <http://tinyurl.com/ml44owk> 213 are recorded as unpublished and <http://tinyurl.com/n2gvect> 135 are messenger texts (53 published by Noemi Borrelli in Nisaba 27, who kindly provided her transliterations for CDLI ingest)
We note that 1664 Ur III texts of the Harvard collection are recorded in our files as unpublished; a large number of these texts were preliminarily assigned dates based on Richard J. Saley & Adam Aja's internal electronic SM catalogue that was limited to ruler years. Only texts associated with our “new images” have been corrected to display full CDLI-standardized dates of ruler.year.month.day. In this as in the other tasks that remain in completing CDLI’s online SM files, we seek the assistance of experts who have the time to identify the full dates of those that remain incomplete, keyed by the notiation "ruler.year.00.00 ?”, or who are able to identify publications of those texts we call unpublished. We would, further, be delighted to assist colleagues who seek or have the permission of the Semitic Museum and Curator of Cuneiform Collections Piotr Steinkeller to prepare formal publications of these and other unpublished text sets in the SM collection.
CDLI’s dedicated SM website is at <http://cdli.ucla.edu/collections/harvard/harvard.html>.
Life Histories of Theban Tombs
Life Histories of Theban Tombs
Life Histories of Theban Tombs (LHTT) focuses on a cluster of rock-cut tombs built during the 2nd millennium BC at the hillside of Sheikh ‘Abd el-Qurna in Western Thebes. The project draws on an integrative archaeological perspective that combines archaeological research with scientific, material, and historical analysis. Its main objectives are to investigate the natural and anthropogenic evolution of the hillside and to explore the history of the tombs, objects, and people connected with it, from the early 2nd millennium BC to the 20th century. LHTT prioritizes research procedures that give relevance to detail and variation, and uses technical and electronic equipment that supports quantifiable, precise data collection often on a micro-analytic level (Research). Digital data processing and an interactive database system, which will eventually be transmitted into an open source for students of archaeology and related fields, are also an important part of the research strategy.
