Last Week in Pleiades (24 February - 3 March 2025)

Last week the Pleiades editorial college published 44 new and 136 updated place resources, reflecting the work of Jeffrey Becker, Anne Chen, Matthew Clark, Tom Elliott, Maxime Guénette, Brady Kiesling, Nicolas Souchon and Néhémie Strupler.

A complete list of additions and changes, include general descriptions of places, change summaries, credit lines, and links to the actual gazetteer entries may be read on the blog at https://pleiades.stoa.org/news/blog/last-week-in-pleiades-24-february-3-march-2025

A terrain map with orange markers indicating updates and pink circles indicating new place resources. The map spans west to east: Morocco and the Iberian Peninsula to the Ganges deltaand north to south: Scandinavia to the central Arabian peninsula.

Updated Pleiades gazetteer RDF/TTL export for 2027-03-03:

20 new and 66 updated places.

#LOD #LAWDI

Levantine Coins Online formally launched, integrated into Hellenistic Royal Coinages. #lawdi #lodlam https://numismatics.org/pr-lco-live/

The CEAlex excavation coins of Alexandria have been integrated into Nomisma.org, adding findspots to dozens of coin types in Ptolemaic Coins Online and one to OCRE. https://numishare.blogspot.com/2024/07/cealex-excavation-coins-added-to.html #lawdi #lodlam

OK, so I might have said "yes" and have conceived researching and writing a piece on #gazetteer alignment and linked data (promises, problems, practicalities, praxis). So now I need to talk to y'all who are doing this, have tried doing this, are using or trying to use the results, have thoughts about what it's (not) good for (if anything), etc. Co-authors you could be.

Hey #LAWDI folks, Christine Roughan is here!

@cmroughan

Here's more on using the Corpus Nummorum #SPARQL endpoint to construct RDF for Nomisma. More than 11,000 types and 28,000 specimens from CN from Thrace and nearby regions have been integrated into the Nomisma #LOD cloud.

The Nomisma page for the ancient mint of Aenus in Thrace, represented by the URI http://nomisma.org/id/aenus, which includes a distribution map and list of coin types and photographs.

While the named entity recognition was running in the background in OpenRefine for IRIS types, I worked on a CONSTRUCT #SPARQL query to extract 28,000 coins from Corpus Nummorum and load them into Nomisma's own SPARQL endpoint in order to illustrate the 11,000 types I uploaded last week. #lawdi

I loaded all of the type descriptions from IRIS (https://greekcoinage.org/iris/) into @OpenRefine and ran the @dbpedia named entity recognition plugin. The next goal is to separate proper names (people/deities) from general concepts so these can be reconciled against Nomisma URIs. Then these URIs can be integrated back into the IRIS type records. We can link to vessel shapes in Kerameikos.org also. Thanks to @vid_santos for the tip. #lawdi

More on the inclusion of Greek types from IRIS into the http://Nomisma.org #LOD ecosystem, and its impact on improving research context through #datavis. https://numishare.blogspot.com/2023/07/greek-types-from-iris-integrated-into.html #lawdi #LODLAM

The Nomisma.org page for the Achaemenid Empire (http://nomisma.org/id/achaemenid_empire), with maps and lists of coin types from IRIS.

More than 11,000 coin types from Corpus Nummorum have been integrated into Nomisma.org's #SPARQL endpoint by extracting the data from CN's own endpoint. More details tomorrow. #lawdi

Nomisma page of http://nomisma.org/id/attalus_i with maps and further information

Nomisma page of http://nomisma.org/id/perinthus with maps and more information about the ancient mint of Perinthus

Way back when the British Museum #SPARQL endpoint was killed, I worked from a RDF dump @mdlincoln put online to stand up a new endpoint with a simple GUI. It essentially works on any SPARQL query URL, so now I have a GUI on the Corpus Nummorum endpoint. #lawdi

Recapping the last two weeks in the Nomisma/European Coin Find Network and Hackathon Athens meetings at École Française d'Athènes, hosted by Thomas Faucher of CEAlex. Making archaeological coins #FAIR. https://numishare.blogspot.com/2023/07/recapping-ecfn-nomisma-in-sofia-and.html #lawdi #lodlam

We're happy to announce the nomisma.org cookbook: documentation for the classes and properties in the Nomisma ontology with data modeling examples. The full cookbook isn't public yet, but the URL is live: https://nomisma.hypotheses.org/the-nomisma-org-cookbook #lodlam #lawdi

Stay tuned for a more detailed blog post from Liv Yarrow, Alice Sharpless, and Lucia Carbone, but the newest Roman Republican Die Project data have gone online. There are now 78,000 Republican coins in CRRO. #lawdi
