Great talk yesterday by @kgeographer.bsky.social on EDOP (Environmental Dimensions of Place) — now live with 190,000+ watershed profiles using HydroATLAS data, digital elevation models, and ecoregion classifications (CDOP: Cultural Dimensions of Place to follow). See kgeographer.org/computing-pl...
We @pelagios.bsky.social are looking to evolve Peripleo, a browser-based tool for the mapping of things related to place github.com/britishlibra..., to make it easier to use by historians and archaeologists as a research tool. Let me know if you're interested.
Dear all, we have a shiny new website pelagios.org. We hope that it does a better job of setting out who we are, what we do, and why you might want to join us.
Join us for Linked Pasts 11, "Linking Knowledge Through Place: ISHI, WHG, & the Future of Gazetteer Collaboration", Tues 9 Dec 15:00 GMT. The @whgazetteer.org will introduce the new Institute for Spatial History Innovation and highlight recent WHG developments. Sign up here forms.gle/dzSq2GibT17n...

Check out @museologi.st 's awesome stuff (done on his own dime) — a map demo of Roman Republican coins reported to the Portable Antiquities Scheme republican-coins.museologi.st#/?/?/?/mode=..., with links to loads of data sources (Nomisma, Wikidata), all code on github.com/portableant/... #maps
In her great talk hosted by @pelagios.bsky.social, @miaout.bsky.social mentioned the AI4LAM project, which has this awesome "Awesome List" of AI resources for the GLAM sector sites.google.com/view/ai4lam/...
EpiDoc is the de facto standard for digital encoding of epigraphy, papyrology and other ancient or historical text-bearing objects.
Basically, if your object is as important as your text then EpiDoc may be the flavour of TEI XML for you. (Books, ecclectic editions of manuscripts etc maybe less so.)
This is a monthly event, and if the EpiDoc maintainers can’t answer your encoding questions, I’m not sure who can.
Starting in 10 minutes - our Fall plenary with @miaout.bsky.social on Pitfalls and promises: AI & cultural heritage collections in 2025. Now that ‘using AI’ has gone from a difficult, bespoke process to something you can do on your browser, what should researchers be excited / anxious about & why?
Also, if you are a scholar of the Ancient Near East, consider sending us your stuff! It will be published in our edited collection for Nature:

The final group working on applications — essentially, what can a cultural heritage professional do with the automated list of disambiguated named entities? But what's going on behind the curtain?

Meanwhile, work continues furiously on articulating the following two stages of the LLM-LOD pipeline: the reconciliation process itself and then the evaluation of it
