Description
The ‘Graffiti gazetteer’ conversion grant aims to test conversion of select research data from Egypt followed by an investigation of new approaches to analyse these data in a micro-project exploring a potential research infrastructure. The project reconnoitres structure and functions intended to collate existing data on graffiti inn order to establish a way of integrating Egyptian data in the FAIR Epigraphy framework (https://ontology.inscriptiones.org/type_of_inscription/), developed in Classics, whilst respecting the current development of thesauri and ontology used for the description of ancient Egyptian resources included in the Thoth project (https://thot.philo.ulg.ac.be/index.html).
The gazetteer data also include identifiers from other existing projects that map Egyptian written and archaeological resources: these projects include converted digital and born digital infrastructures, such as the Online Egyptological Bibliography, Topographical Bibliography (a.k.a. Porter/Moss), Trismegistos, and others.
