PhiloGrid
PhiloGrid proposes to create an expandable, grid-enabled, web service-driven virtual research environment for Greco-Roman antiquity based initially upon texts and services from the Perseus Digital Library that are available under Creative Commons and open source licence.
This will include:
- Addition to Perseus Digital Library of Greek historians whose works exist only in fragmentary form
- Creation of a repository of philological data about the Greco-Roman world, out of pre-existing Perseus material and work digitised in this project
- Abstraction of the Perseus workflow into a grid-enabled workflow driven middleware, based on web services, that can be applied to, and that can be customised for, many collections.
PhiloGrid is funded under the JISC/NEH transatlantic digitisation collaborative grants programme, part of the JISC digitisation programme.
