15 | Nomisma | Coins | https://nomisma.org/ | https://nomisma.org/sparql/ | an international, collaborative project to provide stable digital representations of numismatic concepts according to the principles of Linked Open Data (LOD). These take the form of HTTP URIs that also provide access to reusable information about those concepts, along with links to other resources. The Nomisma.org community maintains a formalized RDF Ontology and a data model for encoding concepts, coins, typologies, hoards, and other types of numismatic objects as LOD. | |||||||||||||||||||||
16 | AAT | Concept | https://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabularies/aat/ | https://vocab.getty.edu/sparql | The AAT contains generic terms; it contains no iconographic subjects and no proper names. That is, each concept is a case of many (a generic thing), not a case of one (a specific thing). For example, the generic term cathedral is in the AAT, but the specific proper name Chartres Cathedral is out of scope for the AAT (it would be included in CONA instead). A minimum record in AAT contains a numeric ID, a term, and a position in the hierarchy. | |||||||||||||||||||||

49 | Mesopotamian Ancient Place-Names Almanac (MAPA): A Gazetteer of the Uruk Urbanscape in the Age of Empires | Place | https://zenodo.org/records/4540616; https://github.com/DigitalPasts/MAPA | The “Mesopotamian Ancient Place-names Almanac” (MAPA) focuses on the southern Mesopotamian city of Uruk (modern Warka). It is one of the earliest mega-cities in world history, with evidence of settlement as far back as the 4th Millennium BCE. Uruk possesses some of the earliest attestations of the cuneiform writing system, and boasts of being the royal seat of the legendary king Gilgamesh. MAPA is a first step in integrating textual sources with remote sensing data for reconstructing the social and physical geography of Mesopotamia in the Age of Empires (first millennium BCE). The core of the project is a gazetteer of place names in texts and surveys, both on the ground and via satellite. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
