Description

From the project website (accessed 2019-06-03):

The Digital Latin Library (DLL) is a joint project of the Society for Classical Studies, the Medieval Academy of America, and the Renaissance Society of America. The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's Scholarly Communications Program funds the project, and the University of Oklahoma hosts it.

The DLL Project has a two-fold mission:

1. To publish and curate critical editions of Latin texts, of all types, from all eras, and to facilitate an ongoing scholarly conversation about these texts through open collaboration and annotation. See The Library of Digital Latin Texts
2. To facilitate the finding and, where openly available and accessible online, the reading of all texts written in Latin. - by creating the DLL Catalog, a Linked Open Data resource built according to the best practices of library information science.
