Data from homermultitext.org/ is starting to show up in the development version of the Scaife Viewer. Much to be done but I am very excited to se this. @PerseusDigLib

@PerseusDigLib update to the scaife.perseus.org/. @eldarion did a fresh ingest that that bumped our total words on scaife.perseus.org from 50.1 million to 64.3 million (Greek from 20.1m in 1,178 works to 28.8m in 1,298 works). thanks @jtauber !

How I use @PerseusDigLib: 1.) Load the Greek, covering the English with my hand. 2.) Reveal the English and check my work. 3.) Click on individual words (each one is a hyperlink even though they’re not underlined) to launch the word study tool to help me through rough spots.

And there's nothing specific to lexemes about this approach. Could be applied to ANY resource with universal identifiers where scholars differ on the lumping and splitting.

Yes, it layers on top of citable URNs very nicely (esp. taking all nodes to be citable URNs). The key to allowing "splits", though, is that if a scholar wants to distinguish A and B and LSJ conflates them, we map the URN for the LSJ conflation to the set {URN for A, URN for B}

@PerseusDigLib @PhilologistGRC This *must* become the cornerstone for any future lemmatization work on Ancient Greek texts, including the Ancient Greek Dependency Treebank #AGDT

Another fundamental step forward for linked open lexical data for ancient Greek. Exciting times!

Elements of textual criticism of manuscripts surface even when dealing with digitisation of printed books. On a current project, I can tell which electronic texts were manually keyed (from haplography) versus OCR'd and, in the OCR cases, can tell which image scan they used.

The passage references are just how the XML (and citation references) in github.com/OpenGreekAndLatin… are set up. The XML _does_ appear to have links to the Iliad text itself but the reader doesn't know to interpret them (yet). Would be a nice feature to add so I'll create an issue.

Trying to navigate the @PerseusDigLib Scaife viewer to read #Iliad scholia, but it is proving impossible to find any particular passage. Search does not work, and passage references don't correspond to book and line numbers. Am I missing something @jtauber ?

It would be great to feature on our site some examples of how LDLT data could be reused with Recogito to create an annotated resource. Let's talk!

Paging @DCComm @caseyduehackney @diyclassics @digitallatin @PerseusDigLib @PerseidsProject @BridgetAlmas - Could Recogito be of use for producing digital editions and/or commentaries? We're keen to hear from you.

We're in favor of anything that will facilitate the participation of those who prefer not to type pointy brackets. There's real potential in using Recogito for annotating the texts that we will publish in the Library of Digital Latin Texts.

new paper on "Individual Developments and Systematic Change in Philology": goo.gl/cGJfo9, includes shout outs for CHS commentaries, @eldarion and Archimedes Digital, @hcmid, Venetus A, and Furman. The world really is changing, and, in at least some ways, for the better.

provide your data via an API that is queryable via CTS URN and I can show you how to add support for it in the Scaife Viewer like we did for the @HellenicStudies commentary server... xitter.cf/PhilologistGRC/status/…
Beginning of an era -- @DHUniLeipzig + @PerseusDigLib /Scaife CTS Viewer now talks to the @HellenicStudies CTS commentary service. Its a first step and not smooth but goo.gl/uGT1gg -- scroll to bottom right: @PerseusDigLib retrieves commentary from @HellenicStudies

We have joined with @NEHgov for the third round of funding for the Humanities Open Book Program. Seven grants will convert important out-of-print #humanities texts into freely available e-books. bit.ly/2GJuhBj
