Digital Classicist/ICS seminar Friday June 19th at 16:30

STB3/6 (Stewart House), Senate House, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HU

*Mark Hedges and Tobias Blanke (King’s College London)* *Linking and Querying Ancient Texts: A multi-database case study with epigraphic corpora*

ALL WELCOME

LaQuAT (a JISC-Engage projct conducted in collaboration with OGSA-DAI at the Edinburgh Parallel Processing Centre) investigates technologies for providing integrated views across heterogeneous ancient documentary text collections, including relational databases with different schemas and an XML corpus. These structurally diverse datasets overlap geographically, chronologically, and prosopographically, and so a mechanism for querying an integrated set of them is of considerable potential value to the researcher.

The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.
