  1. S A W S Sharing Ancient WisdomS Exploring the tradition of Greek and Arabic wisdom literatures Anna Jordanous • www.ancientwisdoms.ac.uk Newman Institute, Uppsala

  2. www.ancientwisdoms.ac.uk Anna Jordanous Aims of the SAWS project: • Record and visualise the links within and between gnomologia; between these collections and source texts; and between collections and their recipient texts • Develop tools to allow other scholars to publish similar material and link it to related texts (ours and others) Materials: • Collections in Greek, Arabic, Spanish of wise sayings or moral advice (gnomologia) from 9th-12th C AD • ‘Source’ texts (e.g. ancient Greek philosophers) • ‘Recipient’ texts that draw upon the gnomologia e.g. Kekaumenos’ writings

  3. www.ancientwisdoms.ac.uk Anna Jordanous Workflow: TEI plus RDF ms (TEI) ms (TEI) ms (TEI) element element element element element Linked Data Web XSLT RDF Triplestore <relation> Geek-Friendly query/browse User adds relationships Folioscope User-Friendly query/browse

  4. www.ancientwisdoms.ac.uk Anna Jordanous What we want to say about people: SAWS ontology SAWS ontology = extension of FRBR-oo, customised for MSS-based texts • SAWS relations about people: we actually used • isReferencedBy • The ontology also allows us to say things like • isWrittenBy, isCopiedBy, isEditedBy, ownedBy, usedBy, isMemberOf (Institution), isAttributedToAuthor, isTransmittedBy, commentMadeBy, marginaliaAddedBy, decorationAddedBy, (section) isIdentifiedBy

  5. www.ancientwisdoms.ac.uk Anna Jordanous Linked Data: Linking out from SAWS data heteregenous ids, easy to find, point to web resources • Places: Pleiades via Pelagios • Texts: CTS ids from digital libraries (plus some others) • People: • Prosopography of the Byzantine World • Viaf • Perseus catalogue • Paregorios • … some we couldn’t find online Moving to heteregenous ids, becoming easy to find, some web resources Ids vary widely, hard to find, some resolve to web resources. Issues with duplicates

  6. www.ancientwisdoms.ac.uk Anna Jordanous Example from Kekaumenos <TEI><teiHeader> … <editor> <name> <forename> Charlotte </forename> <surname> Roueché </surname> </name> </editor> … </teiHeader> <body> … And, as for <persNamenymRef="Pilate, Pontius“ key="http://viaf.org/viaf/172385754">Pilate </persName>, nothing else procured his condemnation except his being able to acquit the Lord and not having done so. As he himself bore witness, saying to <persName key="http://viaf.org/viaf/38323081" nymRef="Jesus Christ">Christ</persName>, '<seg type="contentItem" n="e002" ml:id="div1.e002">I have authority to release you</seg>‘ … </body><\TEI>
