I see there's a nice shout-out for the #PleiadesGazetteer community in Farina, Andrea, Paola Marongiu, Mathilde Bru, and Daniele Borkowski. “When Data Meets the Past: Data Collection, Sharing, and Reuse in Ancient World Studies.” Open Information Science 9, no. 1 (January 1, 2025). doi.org/10.1515/opis-2025-0014.

"Academic working groups such as that of Pleiades for ancient geographical data (NYU’s Institute for the Study of the AW ...) are vital for advancing shared standards in data set creation and interoperability. Participating in collaborative efforts – such as contributing to repositories or establishing discipline-specific metadata standards – can empower scholars to make their data sets more widely usable and integrated with larger research projects. As these collaborations grow, they create a feedback loop, where best practices evolve and become embedded within the discipline, ultimately broadening the impact of data-driven approaches in AW studies."

De Gruyter Brill · When Data Meets the Past: Data Collection, Sharing, and Reuse in Ancient World StudiesThis article explores the challenges and opportunities of adopting data-driven approaches in Ancient World (AW) studies, focusing on the complexities of data collection, curation, and analysis in the field. We address issues such as defining data for AW studies, as well as data fragmentation, standardization, and interoperability. We propose solutions to enhance data accessibility, collaboration, and reuse, demonstrating that adopting standardized formats and adhering to FAIR principles can improve data sharing and enable large-scale, interdisciplinary research. Importantly, we highlight how qualitative and quantitative approaches can coexist, enriching the field. We also review different past and ongoing initiatives supporting data-driven methodologies in AW studies and advocate for their continued expansion. Lastly, we discuss the rise of data papers as a transformative tool for bridging traditional scholarship and digital methodologies, emphasizing the importance of data sets and their potential for reuse in advancing the field.

The SemDH 2025 received lots of positive feedback from all of the people I spoke with. Very well done and kudos to the organising team: @tabea @srush_nlp Arianna Graciotti and Bruno Sartini! Looking forward to the workshop dinner tonight 😋

In his presentation "Exploring and Visualizing Italian Advertising Fliers and Posters through an Iconographical Lens with Linked Open Data" Bruno Sartini is demonstrating how to bridge traditional art historical methods with computational approaches by using structured iconographical data to empirically validate qualitative findings from cultural studies.

📖 Neue Blogreihe "Wie verändern große Sprachmodelle die Geschichtswissenschaften"

In den nächsten Wochen veröffentlichen Studierende des Masterschwerpunkts insgesamt 6 Beiträge zu Kernaspekten von #LLM und ihren Einsatzmöglichkeiten für die #Geschichte , etwa "Wie lernen LLMs?", "Was erarbeiten LLMs?" und "Wie werden LLMs steuerbar?"

Die ersten 2 Artikel sind bereits online! 👀👇

Digital History BerlinWie verändern große Sprachmodelle die Geschichtswissenschaften? Eine studentische Blogreihe zur Anwendung von LLMs in der historischen Forschung.Große Sprachmodelle fordern die Geisteswissenschaften in ihrem traditionsreichen Handwerk heraus: der Textarbeit. Zusammenfassungen, Exzerpte, Hervorheben von Argumentationslinien sowie die grammatische Textgenerierung überzeugen und verbessern sich in einem rasanten Tempo. Diesen Ergebnissen hinkt die inhaltliche Qualität der Textgenerierung noch hinterher. Doch dieses Ungleichgewicht wird fortlaufend geringer, es ist sogar aktiv steuerbar. In dieser Blogreihe wird dieser Verwendung und Steuerbarkeit von großen Sprachmodellen nachgegangen und anhand von Praxisbeispielen verdeutlicht. Die Blogreihe wurde von Studierenden verfasst und greift die Lerninhalte der Lehrveranstaltung „Wie verändern große Sprachmodelle die Geschichtswissenschaften?“ aus dem Wintersemester 2024/25 unter der Leitung von Prof. Dr. Torsten Hiltmann auf.

⏰ SemDH Workshop is about to take place at ESWC25 in the beautiful city of Portoroz, Slovenia on Monday, June 2nd, 2025!

Check out the full, detailed program at semdh.github.io/program.html

The keynote will be held by Laura Hollink, Human-Centered Data Analytics group leader at CWI, Amsterdam on "Cultural bias in Linked Open Data"

Highlights Updated gazetteer data in this release: see "Contents" below. Updated data/gis/README.md for new places_accuracy.csv file, which provides more horizontal accuracy data for use in GIS software. Updated information about Pleiades Sidebar (q.v.) Overview This is a package of data derived from the Pleiades gazetteer of ancient places. It is used for archival and redistribution purposes and is likely to be less up-to-date than the live data at https://pleiades.stoa.org. Pleiades is a community-built gazetteer and graph of ancient places. It publishes authoritative information about ancient places and spaces, providing unique services for finding, displaying, and reusing that information under open license. It publishes not just for individual human users, but also for search engines and for the widening array of computational research and visualization tools that support humanities teaching and research. Pleiades is a continuously published scholarly reference work for the 21st century. We embrace the new paradigm of citizen humanities, encouraging contributions from any knowledgeable person and doing so in a context of pervasive peer review. Pleiades welcomes your contribution, no matter how small, and we have a number of useful tasks suitable for volunteers of every interest. Access and Archiving The latest versions of this package can be had by fork or download from the main branch at https://github.com/isawnyu/pleiades-datasets.
