- Annotation—“A Note Added to Anything Written, By Way of Explanation or Comment”—Is Almost as Old as Writing Itself (“annotation”). Among the first texts to be written down, Homer's oral poems survive thanks first to Hellenistic scholars, whose comments and explanations formed the editions that came down to us, and second to later manuscript technology, which enabled the painstaking copying of both the texts and the notes associated with them (see fig. 1). At the I Annotate 2019 conference, Gardner Campbell reflected on the meaning ofto noteand identified as its essence the idea of signing: “A sign that we formulate, a sign that we leave, a sign thatpointsto something, points to a meaning, points to another word, but also points to thepointer.We leave signs;weleave signs;Iannotate. The agency in the word note is extraordinary” (00:07:35-58). To note is, as Campbell'skeynoteput it, a fundamental act of attention, of sharing, as basic as “water” or “love” (00:06:16-00:07:25). To note is an essential human act.

Journeying through Space and Time with Pausanias’s Description of Greece

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sometime in the second century CE, Pausanias of Magnesia (modern-day Turkey) wrote the Description of Greece. Ostensibly a tour of the places to see on the Greek mainland, the Description also provides historical accounts related to the topography through which Pausanias moves. Little attention has been given to how these building blocks of narrative, the entities of place and time, relate to and intersect with each other. In this article, we establish a framework for systematically investigating Pausanias’s chronotopes through a process of semantic annotation. We describe our typology for categorizing place and time, with the aim of enabling this text’s database of information — the descriptions of the built environment, its temples, statues, etc. — to be mapped and analysed. Our emphasis, however, is on how the technology equally facilitates close reading, as we trace how individual locations, objects and people relate to each other through the unfolding of chronotopes, and examine how in turn these chronotopes transform our understanding of the spaces of Greece and Greece as a place. We conclude by offering reflections on the potential for semantic annotation of the kind documented here not only for conducting chronotopic investigations of literary geographies, but also for bringing the textualization of space into direct dialogue with the material culture on the ground.

A Digital Periegesis : Implementing Spatial Research Infrastructures for Classical History and Archaeology
- 2023

- The classics have in many ways pioneered the application of digital methods to narrative spatial analysis and developed strong collaborative engagement with infrastructure, producing Pelagios, an ever-growing platform for a plethora of spatial databases and gazetteers, as well as Recogito a digital annotation tool. These two successful examples show a pressing need for community building around SRIs for early modern and medieval Scandinavia to ensure sustainable design, long-term preservation, and further collaborative development. This article discusses this development in the context of the digital periegesis project and the resources used for Pausanias's description of Greece

- Over the past decades the extraordinary growth of new technologies has made it possible to extract data from literary texts and analyse them using digital tools. This chapter focuses on the process of creating an enriched digital edition of Pausanias's Periegesis Hellados or Description of Greece. The purpose of this research is twofold: to identify 'heritage data' in Pausanias and to describe the technical and epistemological parameters of their aggregation and organisation. In answering the essentially digital humanities research question "how Pausanias's literary heritage information can be best organised and connected to the archaeological record on the ground", the Digital Periegesis project is charting and analysing the relevant digital tools and methods by which extensive semantic annotation and Linked Open Data (LOD) can facilitate the organisation of heritage information in Pausanias's text and its connection to actual archaeological finds. This chapter discusses the potential application of Geographic Information Science (GISc) and Geographic Information System (GIS) for such complex pre-cartesian narrative analysis. Finally, it emphasises the importance of building geo-spatially enriched digital editions collaboratively, involving discipline specialist researchers and information organisation experts, with the aim of interpreting histories of "place".

Mapping Ancient Heritage Narratives with Digital Tools

- How does 'digital' apply to ancient pasts? Digital methods, especially methods relating to identifying, visualizing, and analysing spatial data, have become increasingly important within the fields of classical literature, archaeology, and heritage. On the one hand, literary narratives offer potentially different ways of representing space and place than the usual cartographic maps to which we have become accustomed. On the other hand, by virtue of being able to locate cultural artefacts in space – where they were found, through whose hands they have passed, where they reside now, where they were produced and circulated– it becomes possible to construct biographies or even itineraries of objects that offer richer ways of understanding their use and agency. Unique in all classical literature, Pausanias’s second-century CE Periegesis Hellados presents an example of both types of spatial representation – a narrative that describes places of interest in the Greek landscape as well as the notable objects found there. This chapter discusses some of the ways in which Pausanias’s narrative of Greek heritage is good to consider when attempting to use digital methods for analysing the entanglements of place, people, ando bjects in a textual geography.
