FS Murnane

Causing His Name to Live: Studies in Egyptian Epigraphy and History in Memory of William J. Murnane
Culture and History of the Ancient Near East Volume 37
Edited by Peter Brand and Louise Cooper
(E. J. Brill Academic Publishers: Leiden, 2009)
ISBN 978 90 04 176447 * ISSN 1566-2055

This is not a new item online.  Articles for this volume began appearing here several years ago, and now the volume is complete and published.

What is most interesting is the following statement
Through the generosity of E. J. Brill, all of the content of the book Causing His Name to Live will remain available here for free public use. Although the content is the same, the typesetting and formatting of the material on this website differs from that of the printed book.
While at € 121.00 / US$ 179.00, this is not the most expensive of books from Brill, it still works out to 39 cents a page foir the print version, considerably more than the going rate for photocopying.  I hope that authors and editors will take note of this open access model, and secure the permission from their publishers (if required) and post the content of books online, preferably in institutional repositories which will ensure long term accessibility.

Open Licensed Classical Data Canvass

Adapted with permission from a message posted by Gabriel Bodard on the Digital Classicist Discussion List (10/23/10):


I realize I've missed a trick by not posting this during Open Access Week. I've been meaning for a while to canvass this list regarding open licensed Classical data--not just texts that can be freely read online in HTML or PDF, say, but text or data released under a license (Creative Commons, GPL, etc.) that explicitly allows the creative and transformative re-use of the underlying code (XML, RDF, images, etc.).

I started compiling this list for a developers' challenge that we held back in July, and am particularly interested in the possibility of archiving and re-using this sort of material.
The first list only includes publications whose underlying data source is available for download without having to ask permission or enter a password, and whose license explicitly permits re-use. The Linked Data list is just stuff that appears to be available for re-use (that's what
LD is for, after all), but may not have explicit licenses.

If anybody has or knows of datasets that should be added to either of these lists, please send them to the list (or ask me and I'll give you permission to edit the Google spreadsheets).

Papyrological Navigator

Papyrological Navigator
Papyri.info is dedicated to the study of ancient papyrological documents.  It offers links to papyrological resources, a customized search engine (called the Papyrological Navigator) capable of retrieving information from multiple related collections, and an editing application, the Papyrological Editor, which contributors can use to suggest emendations to PN texts.
The Papyrological Navigator aggregates and displays information from the Advanced Papyrological Information System (APIS), the Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri (DDbDP) and the Heidelberger Gesamtverzeichnis der griechischen Papyrusurkunden Ägyptens (HGV), as well as links to Trismegistos.

About

Version 2.0 was announced today on the new Digital Papyrology blog:

  • Cleaner interface
  • More search options
  • Browse by collection
  • Search across metadata, transcriptions, and translations simultaneously
  • New image viewer
  • Improved performance
All of the Duke Databank and HGV texts are released under a Creative Commons Attribution license and the APIS data is released under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial license.
We hope you will enjoy using the new system. Look for more frequent updates in the future!
