OK, so I might have said "yes" and have conceived researching and writing a piece on #gazetteer alignment and linked data (promises, problems, practicalities, praxis). So now I need to talk to y'all who are doing this, have tried doing this, are using or trying to use the results, have thoughts about what it's (not) good for (if anything), etc. Co-authors you could be.

Corpus Nummorum integrated into Nomisma.org

At the European Coin Find Network / Nomisma.org meeting several weeks ago in Sofia, Bulgaria, I learned that Corpus Nummorum had a SPARQL e...

While the named entity recognition was running in the background in OpenRefine for IRIS types, I worked on a CONSTRUCT #SPARQL query to extract 28,000 coins from Corpus Nummorum and load them into Nomisma's own SPARQL endpoint in order to illustrate the 11,000 types I uploaded last week. #lawdi

I loaded all of the type descriptions from IRIS (https://greekcoinage.org/iris/) into @OpenRefine and ran the @dbpedia named entity recognition plugin. The next goal is to separate proper names (people/deities) from general concepts so these can be reconciled against Nomisma URIs. Then these URIs can be integrated back into the IRIS type records. We can link to vessel shapes in Kerameikos.org also. Thanks to @vid_santos for the tip. #lawdi
