Sharing Ancient Wisdoms: developing structures for charting textual transfer
ALL WELCOME
SAWS uses digital technologies to analyse wisdom literatures in Greek
and Arabic. Throughout Antiquity and the Middle Ages collections of wise
sayings (gnomologia) were circulated as a response to the cost and
inaccessibility of full texts. These moral and philosophical anthologies
formed a crucial route by which ideas of reasonable behaviour were
disseminated over the course of centuries. We are publishing gnomologia
using TEI XML and developing a series of explanatory links in RDF
between sections of collections, their source texts, and texts which
drew upon them. This paper discusses challenges in publishing and
linking these texts.
The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.
