Description
Taken from the project website (accessed 2025-05-23):
With over 864,000 entries, the Gnomon Bibliographic Database (GBD) is one of the most comprehensive database systems for specialised literature in the entire field of classical studies, including the subject-specific history of science. It lists monographs, edited volumes with the articles they contain, journal articles, reviews and specialised lexicons from the period in all relevant academic languages, which can be searched in detail with the help of a comprehensive, multilingual thesaurus (currently approx. 25,000 keywords). Monographs are also usually catalogued using the standard vocabulary of the Common Authority File (GND). The cataloguing of YouTube content and internet resources is currently a unique feature of the GBD. There has been intensive co-operation with the Bavarian State Library (Munich) and the university libraries of Augsburg, Eichstätt and Tübingen for some time. Cooperations also exist with the editorial office of the journal Gnomon (Munich) and the Joint Library of the Hellenic & Roman Societies (London). A cooperation agreement was also concluded with the German Archaeological Institute; as part of a CLARIN-D project, approaches to innovative visualisations were tested using a joint data pool from GBD and ZENON.
