==Description==
GeoDia is an interactive spatial timeline covering the ancient Mediterranean world, broadly defined. Its spatial coverage ranges from Britain to Afghanistan, and its temporal coverage ranges from the Neolithic to Late Antiquity. It is intended to be a teaching tool that can help students in classes on the ancient Mediterranean world to orient themselves in space and time, to understand material culture in its spatial context (as opposed to art and archaeology textbooks, which usually use periods as their central organizing principle), and to discover connections across the cultural and spatial boundaries that normally dictate the way we teach Mediterranean civilizations.

The site presents a mashup of a map (Google Maps base) and a slippy timeline, on which can be displayed sites (with the archaeological periods represented at those sites displayed as spans on the timeline) or events (displayed as dots on the timeline). The map and the timeline are synchronized, so dragging either will repopulate the other. Because of space limitations on the timeline, sites are also displayed according to a ranking algorithm, with the most important visible at the most distant zoom level, but with less important sites appearing as one zooms in (events are not ranked). Many sites are also associated with images of the monuments and objects found or made there, arranged according to period.

The navigation area allows users to browse sites (tab showing a Peutinger map town icon) or events (tab showing an exclamation point icon) by cultural and spatial facets, or search for them by string. The images can also be searched by string in a separate tab (showing a camera icon). Results can be managed in the "results" tab, which allows users to show, hide, or remove individual sites or events, and also to download a particular results set as KML or link to it. The "details" tab for sites shows periodized images (Non-UT users can only see thumbnails of these images), while the same tab for events provides brief textual descriptions, including, in some cases, links to the primary sources expressed as Perseus canonical text citations. The information pop-ups that appear when a site marker is clicked on the map include a link to the Pleiades record for that site.

Extensive instructions for the use of the site can be found in textual form at [http://geodia.laits.utexas.edu/faq.html http://geodia.laits.utexas.edu/faq.html], or in a series of video tutorials available at [http://geodiaforum.blogspot.com/ http://geodiaforum.blogspot.com/] or on [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6EcCsZ1Zu5aXcLDX5HcTmg the Geodiachronicity YouTube channel].
===Technical Details===
GeoDia is based on Nick Rabinowitz's timemap.js JavaScript library, which mashes up Google Maps and MIT's Simile timeline (code archived at [https://github.com/datadesk/timemap https://github.com/datadesk/timemap]), and on the Digital Archives Services (DASe) storage architecture developed by Peter Keane for Liberal Arts Instructional Technology Services at The University of Texas at Austin (code archived at [https://code.google.com/archive/p/dase/ https://code.google.com/archive/p/dase/]). The project was carried out between 2008 and 2010 (code archived at [https://github.com/nrabinowitz/geodia https://github.com/nrabinowitz/geodia]). Since then, no active development has taken place either on the site or on the code libraries involved, although there have been some changes to the site to deal with new UT authentication procedures and to update the Google Maps API key. DASe is currently maintained by LAITS, but has been deprecated as critical storage architecture. As of May 2016, the GeoDia website is fully functional in Chrome and Firefox on laptop and desktop computers, but does not work properly on mobile devices or tablets. The Editor still has the ability to add places, periods, images, and events, and updates are made as he can find time (these updates will consist for the foreseeable future of edited contributions from undergraduate classes in Greek civilization and archaeology at UT). There is no permanent commitment for the maintenance of the site on the part of UT Austin.

==Project Team==
* PI: Adam Rabinowitz (The University of Texas at Austin)
* Co-PI: Ryan Shaw (The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill)

* Developer: Patrick Golden (The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill)
==Description==
The Periods, Organized (PeriodO) project, now in its second phase, seeks to build a Linked Open Data gazetteer of period definitions provided by authoritative sources. Each definition includes three critical components: the authority or source, a statement of temporal coverage (in some form of calendrical time, however vague), and a statement of spatial coverage (again, however vague). The gazetteer parses these statements to provide four-part ISO8601 calendar dates and a geo-resolvable LD statement of spatial coverage (currently, national boundaries in DBpedia). By documenting period usage, rather than seeking to create a unified thesaurus of period concepts, PeriodO seeks to preserve differences of opinion, scholarly tradition, and national standards. In the first phase of the project, funded by a Digital Humanities Start-Up Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (2014-2015), the team solidified the data model, constructed a browser-based client that can display both a canonical, curated dataset (with permalinks provided by the ARK ID framework of the EZID system) and local indexed databases with user-generated values, and added 3500 definitions collected from project partners and harvested from publications. In the second phase of the project, funded by a National Leadership Grant for Libraries from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (2016-2018), the team will work on visualizations to improve the usefulness of the client and reconciliation and aggregation tools to make it easier for data managers to implement PeriodO URIs in their own datasets, and to link their information with other periodized datasets.

==About me==
Adam Rabinowitz is an Associate Professor in the Department of Classics and Assistant Director of the Institute of Classical Archaeology at The University of Texas at Austin. He holds his PhD (2004) from the Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art and Archaeology at the University of Michigan. He is a field archaeologist with a focus on ancient social relations as expressed through commensal practices and colonial interactions. His interest in the use of digital platforms for archaeological documentation and publication began during his work at the Roman site of Cosa in the 1990s and intensified in the course of excavations in the South Region of the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine site of Chersonesos in Crimea in the mid-2000s. Since then, in the course of his preparation of the South Region excavations for publication, he has also become involved with long-term archival preservation and the digital dissemination of rich contextual datasets. He is involved in several digital humanities projects related to the linking and visualization of information about the Classical past, including Pleiades (http://pleiades.stoa.org), a spatial gazetteer of ancient places; GeoDia (http://geodia.laits.utexas.edu), an interactive spatial timeline of Mediterranean archaeology; Hestia2 (http://hestia.open.ac.uk/), a narrative time-map of the Histories of Herodotus; and PeriodO (http://perio.do), a gazetteer of scholarly definitions of archaeological, historical, and art-historical periods.
