The #PRISMS Digital Scholarly Editions platform is built with open standards, ensuring citable and enduring editions.
#PRISMS embeds your edition in a network of primary sources and scholarship, and includes tools for annotation and analysis:
Prismatic coal hole cover on Hope Street in Glasgow. These were were commonly used allow natural light into the otherwise pitch black cellars. Only a few of the original prisms remain in this particular example.

I've played around with using #mylar to create #LightTubes, #prisms and #mirrors and other #reflective surfaces to change or shape light direction and spread, #Fresnell lenses to magnify small amounts of light, etc etc etc.
I've learned lots of interesting things but I am still a LONG way from being hired to light the interior of a #pyramid. 😀

Every afternoon, if it's sunny, the cut-glass paperweight on my kitchen windowsill gives us this...
Prismatic coal hole cover on Hope Street in Glasgow. Coal holes in the street allowed deliveries to coal cellars without having to carry the coal through a building. Prismatic coal hole covers were commonly used allow natural light into the otherwise pitch black cellars. Only a few of the original prisms remain in this particular example.

What is this contraption attached to a telephone pole in South Jersey? There were two at 90 degrees around the pole from each other.
Is this a survey prism? Is it in active use? If these are reflective, are they on the pole to prevent people from hitting it? Or is it just decoration? Why is it here?
We have added over 60 editions to the digital scholarly editions platform #PRISMS:

#PRISMS is a RDF-based #DSE platform which represents digital scholarly editions and the associated scholarship in a semantic network.
Let's make #binoculars with really #accessible #alignment screws, so that when you inevitably #drop them, you can tweak the #prisms back into alignment without a fight.
Currently, the adjustment screws are usually hidden, tiny, and thread-locked. They can break easily if you try forcing them.
My ideal binoculars would have these presets as big lockable user controls.

#Prisms as stacks of spring-mass systems, harmonic oscillators are everywhere!
Delighted to announce the addition of a sample of 1,425 manuscripts (MS descriptions with complete #IIIF surrogates) from the #Medieval Manuscripts in Oxford Libraries corpus to the #DSE platform #PRISMS.
Realgar - #sulfide class #mineral As4S4.
*#Crystals in the form of monoclinic #syngonia, #prisms, #needles.
* The #color is #red.
* Formed during #hydrothermal processes. It is found #deep in the #earth.
* Found in lead, #silver, #gold ore veins, #volcanic #craters, fumaroles, hot spring deposits along.
* It used for #paint.
* Disintegrates from light and moisture. Long-term (not a one-day process).
One of the aims of the open #KnowledgeBase and #DSE platform #PRISMS was to make progress towards Peter Shillingsburg's "electronic infrastructure for script acts" (2006). We believe we're halfway there...
