Hestia: The home for spatial analysis of Herodotus’s ''Histories''

==Description==

[http://www.open.ac.uk/Arts/hestia/ Hestia] uses a range of digital technologies as part of a blended, innovative approach to studying the geography of Herodotus’s ''Histories''. Using a freely available digital text of Herodotus from the [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/ Perseus on-line library], ''Hestia'' captures all place-names mentioned in the narrative, organises that information in a database, and then explores those spatial relations through a series of mapping applications, such as GIS, GoogleEarth and the Narrative TimeMap. Our work both challenges the usual division between East and West by bringing to light the deep network culture that underpins the ''Histories'', and finds ways of bringing Herodotus's world into people's homes.
* Hestia was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council from 2008 to 2010.

==Title==

GAP: The Geographic Annotation Platform for discovering and visualizing geographical entities in large text corpora
* GAP is funded by a Google Digital Humanities Research Grant (2010, 2012)

==Description==

[http://googleancientplaces.wordpress.com/ GAP] addresses two primary concerns related to online resources: discovery and usability, using the ancient world as a test case. No one person is going to able to find all the ancient places referenced in large text corpora (like the one million plus Google Books corpus): for that you need a helping hand. GAP is developing a search engine (based on the Edinburgh Geoparser), which automatically finds (“geotags”) references to ancient places in a text and then links (“georesolves”) them to a gazetteer. In order to visualize the results in meaningful ways, GAP uses a single-screen application called [http://gap.alexandriaarchive.org/gapvis/index.html#index GapVis] with various components to help the reader navigate through a text geospatially.
