The Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities (ACDH of the Austrian Academy of Sciences) is excited about an engaging Research Lunch:
We welcome Laura Untner, who will give a talk on “Sappho Digital”:
The project “Sappho Digital” explores how computer-assisted approaches can meaningfully enhance (inter-)textual analyses, with a particular focus on the potential of semantic technologies for reception-oriented research.
As a case study, the project models approximately 100 testimonies of the productive literary reception of the ancient Greek poet Sappho in the German-speaking world as Linked Data. It traces the interconnections between these works as well as their links to the surviving fragments of Sappho.
Further information can be found on the project website:
