==Description==

World Historical Gazetteer (WHG) is providing a collection of content and services that permit world historians, their students, and the general public to do spatial and temporal reasoning and visualization in a data rich environment at global and trans-regional scales.

From project website (accessed 2020-07-14)

<blockquote> Over a three-year period (2017-2020), the '''World-Historical Gazetteer (WHG)''' project will produce a data store and associated software and services supporting collaborative digital and data-driven historical scholarship at the global scale. This [[Linked open data]] (LOD) system will focus significantly but not exclusively on the centuries since 1500, and have these closely related components:

'''The gazetteer'''. A spatially and temporally comprehensive database of significant world historical place names. This broad but shallow resource (an estimated 30,000 entries, subject to change) will draw on a few core sources, including print historical atlas indexes, linguistic atlases, and modern physical geography datasets. Those core records will be aligned with existing gazetteers where possible, including [[Geonames]] and the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names (TGN), and be enriched with some data from DBpedia

'''A “union index.”''' Records from the WHG core gazetteer will be merged with those of specialized gazetteers from our project partners and elsewhere in a rich, high-performance index.

'''Interfaces to the gazetteer'''. We will build (a) a web-based interface for searching, browsing, and editing the data, and (b) an application programming interface service (API) providing faceted programmatic access to the data in the [https://github.com/WorldHistoricalGazetteer/requirements GitHub Repository] 

'''Demonstration pilot projects'''. Data from two groups of historical research projects will be linked via the gazetteer, demonstrating the value of linked data in historical scholarship. One group is concerned with Maritime Asia, the other with the Atlantic World. </blockquote>

In 2021 the WHG has entered a second phase, and the site has been enriched with [https://whgazetteer.org/tutorials/ tutorials], teaching resources and additional tools to create, reconcile and contribute historical gazetteers.
The data format currently adopted by the WHG is [https://github.com/LinkedPasts/linked-places-format Linked Places].

Syriac Gazetteer

2026-10-05T17:07:26Z

TomElliott: added gazetteer category

==Available==

* http://syriaca.org/geo/index.html

==Editors==

* David A. Michelson (2014-)
* William L. Potter (2018-)
* Thomas A. Carlson (2014-2018)

==Description==

'''The Syriac Gazetteer''' is an open-access geographical reference work of [[Syriaca.org]] for places relevant to Syriac studies. It is growing from an initial publication of over two thousand place records, encoded in TEI XML. Entries cover places named in Syriac texts (such as [http://syriaca.org/place/326 Harqel]), places of interest to historians of Syriac culture (such as [http://syriaca.org/place/77 Dura-Europos]), and places where scholarship on Syriac is being produced (such as [https://syriaca.org/place/593 Japan]). Maps are provided for places whose location is known; the gazetteer also includes entries not located or even locatable, including mythological and ahistorical places. A second, revised and expanded edition was published in 2019, edited by David A. Michelson and William L. Potter. The first edition was edited by Thomas A. Carlson and David A. Michelson.

Antiquity À-la-carte

2026-10-05T17:04:54Z

TomElliott: updated retraction and availability statement and added link to beta blog post and wiki link to page about the replacement "AWMC Interactive"

==Available==
In January 2024, the [[Ancient World Mapping Center]] announced that Antiquity À-la-carte had been taken offline.[https://awmc.unc.edu/2024/01/16/antiquity-a-la-carte-replacement-underway/] Replacement software (entitled [[AWMC Interactive]]) has been available online in beta since February 2024.[https://awmc.unc.edu/2024/02/20/awmc-interactive-released-for-beta-testing/]

==Author==

* Ryan Horne, with assistance from Jeffrey Becker, Richard Talbert, Joseph Ryan, Ray Belanger, and Ashley Lee.

==Description==
The [[Ancient World Mapping Center]]'s '''Antiquity À-la-carte''' application provides an interactive digital atlas of the ancient world and allows users (even those without GIS experience) to create basic, customized maps. The application displays historically accurate geospatial data (based largely on the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World), in addition to the entire [[Pleiades]] feature set.

===Customizing a Map in Antiquity À-la-carte===
À-la-carte allows users to build custom maps by creating a personalized set of "features." These features include settlements, buildings, physical features, and political divisions. In the Map Layers window, custom features are stored in Layers>Cultural Data>Physical Culture>Features.

Users create their personalized set of features by extracting individual places from "Static Features," a layer which includes the full datasets of the [[Ancient World Mapping Center]] and [[Pleiades]]. This layer can be viewed in the Map Layers window at Layers>Cultural Data>Physical Culture>Static Features, and searched with the "Search for Features" button. To extract a data point from Static Features to your custom features, either
1: In the main map viewing window, select the desired feature, click its name for more information, then press the "Make Interactive Feature" button, or
2: In the search window, select the desired feature and press the "Add a Feature to Map" button.

Once you have created a custom data set in Antiquity À-la-carte, you can export this data in a variety of formats (File>Export). This data can then be reused in any standard desktop GIS platform (i.e. Google Earth, ArcGIS, QGIS). Alternately, you can use the File>Print tool to select a portion of the main map viewing window and export it as a .pdf.

For more detailed instructions and FAQ's, see the User Guide [http://awmc.unc.edu/wordpress/alacarte/user-guide/]

==Licensing, Permissions, Citation==

Thanks in no small part to input from the Digital Classicist community, as of June 1, 2016, Antiquity A-la-carte and all maps and data files produced in the application are available for use under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0). This new license drops the non-commercial clause in effect before June 1, 2016, and so content produced in A-la-carte can now be used for commercial purposes (including any and all publication) without the need for additional permissions and licensing.

The A-la-carte website suggests the following citation formats:

"For Shapefiles, The suggested citation is the following: Ancient World Mapping Center. “Shapefile name”. <http://awmc.unc.edu/wordpress/map-files/> [Accessed: April 23, 2013 11:00am]

For example, the citation for our coastline file should be: Ancient World Mapping Center. “Coastline”. <http://awmc.unc.edu/wordpress/map-files/> [Accessed: April 23, 2013 11:00am].

For maps created with the application we suggest something similar to the following: Ancient World Mapping Center. “À-la-carte”. <http://awmc.unc.edu/awmc/applications/alacarte/> [Accessed: April 23, 2013 11:00am]."

==Description==

From the website (accessed 2015-12-16):

<blockquote>These are a series of geographically accurate and publicly accessible map tiles that represent the ancient Mediterranean world in a variety of different periodizations, released under the CC BY-NC 3.0 license. The map tiles are hosted on Mapbox servers courtesy of ISAW, and are created by Ryan Horne from [[Ancient World Mapping Center|AWMC]] data produced by Richard Talbert, Jeffrey Becker, Ryan Horne, Ross Twele, Audrey Jo, Ray Belanger, Steve Burges, Luke Hagemann, Ashley Lee, and others. They were built from shapefiles originally created by the AWMC using ArcGIS and QGIS. The data was derived from from VMap0 and [[OSM]], then further modified by the AWMC, generally following the [[Barrington Atlas]]. Bathymetric data is largely built from SRTM 30 PLUS (copyright notice here) with additional work by the AWMC, with GDAL tools utilized to produce hillshade and color-relief rasters. The shapefiles and rasters were brought into TileMill, then uploaded to Mapbox, where they were combined with data from OSM and MapBox to produce the finished tile set. Detailed information on each data layer can be found here: http://awmc.unc.edu/wordpress/tiles/map-tile-information.</blockquote>

Epigraphic Database Roma

2019-12-19T00:25:52Z

TomElliott: /* Description */ expanded a link for ease of use

==Available==

* http://www.edr-edr.it/

==Directors==

* Silvia Orlandi (director)
* Silvio Panciera (founder)

==Description==

The Epigraphic Database Roma (EDR) is a searchable resource that provides texts, bibliographic citations and descriptive data for Latin and Greek inscriptions from ancient Italy (including Sicily and Sardinia). As such, EDR forms an essential component of the [[Electronic Archive of Greek and Latin Epigraphy (EAGLE)]].

The project was founded by Silvio Panciera (then chair of Latin Epigraphy in the Facoltà di Scienze Umanistiche dell'Università di Roma - La Sapienza) in 1999, and put its first data online in 2003 with the computational collaboration of [http://rmcisadu.let.uniroma1.it/ CISADU] (Interdepartmental Center of Services for the Automation of the Humanities) of the same University. The project has now branched out around the chair of Latin Epigraphy (now occupied by Silvia Orlandi), to comprise a network of partnerships throughout Italy that engage other universities, soprintendenze, organizations and independent scholars. Among the major units reporting progress at a 2008 meeting in Rome were the universities of Genova, Milano (Cattolica and Statale), Bergamo, Trieste, Ca' Foscari di Venezia, Macerata, Siena, Perugia, Napoli ("L'Orientale") and Bari.

As of December 2019, EDR contained texts for over 90,000 texts of inscriptions and over 58,000 photos. The current database and its interface permit users to discover content by searching on a combination of descriptive, bibliographic and full-text fields. The EDR interface is presented in Italian and English. It provides various helps for users, as well as information about the project, its history and collaborators. At present, EDR does not provide cool URIs for individual inscriptions, nor web feeds summarizing content or search results; however, direct links to individual inscriptions may be constructed with a query of the form: [http://www.edr-edr.it/edr_programmi/res_complex_comune.php?do=book&id_nr=EDR000001 http://www.edr-edr.it/edr_programmi/res_complex_comune.php?do=book&id_nr=EDR000001]. Similarly, other fields in the database may be queried to provide standing links, for example: [http://www.edr-edr.it/edr_programmi/res_complex_comune.php?do=book&fo_antik=Bergomum http://www.edr-edr.it/edr_programmi/res_complex_comune.php?do=book&fo_antik=Bergomum]. The full range of variables available include:

* id_nr
* provinz
* land
* fo_antik
* fo_modern
* fundstelle
* aufbewahrung
* denkmaltyp
* material
* mis_alto
* mis_largo
* mis_spesso
* status_tituli
* scriptura
* lingua
* i_gattung
* livellosocialeTot
* Bibliografia
* Testo
* dat_tag
* dat_monat
* dat_jahr_a
* dat_jahr_e
* mis_alto
* mis_largo
* mis_spesso
* dat_jahr_a
* dat_jahr_e

Note that when constructing queries against fields containing measurements (mis_alto, mis_largo, mis_spesso, dat_jahr_a and dat_jahr_e), one must also use a second variable (prefix ope_) to indicate how to evaluate the query. So:

ope_mis_alto=%3C%3D per fare ricerche nel campo mis_alto con il segno di < o =
ope_mis_alto=%3C%3E per fare ricerche nel campo mis_alto con il segno di > o =
ope_dat_jahr_a=%3D per fare ricerche nel campo dat_jahr_a con il segno =

Thus, the following query does not work:

http://www.edr-edr.it/edr_programmi/res_complex_comune.php?do=book&dat_jahr_a=100

but this one does:

http://www.edr-edr.it/edr_programmi/res_complex_comune.php?do=book&&ope_dat_jahr_a=%3D&dat_jahr_a=100

(Thanks to Silvia Evangelisti for reviewing this entry and providing details on query construction).

'''COinS''' is an abbreviation for “ContextObjects in Spans”. Spans in this context refers to the html tag , and is the means by which your reference data can be inserted into a webpage without it being rendered as text. COinS conventions can be used to embed bibliographic citation data in HTML pages in a structured way, thereby making it possible for the [http://zotero.org Zotero] reference manager to recognize and scrape that information. What follows are examples of ways to deploy citation data in this manner. Related documentation may be found on [https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/exposing_metadata/coins the "exposing_metadata: coins" page] on the Zotero website.

Citations with COINS

2019-09-03T15:59:48Z

TomElliott: provided prologue/context

COinS is an abbreviation for “ContextObjects in Spans”. Spans in this context refers to the html tag , and is the means by which your reference data can be inserted into a webpage without it being rendered as text. COinS conventions can be used to embed bibliographic citation data in HTML pages in a structured way, thereby making it possible for the [http://zotero.org Zotero] reference manager to recognize and scrape that information. What follows are examples of ways to deploy citation data in this manner.

<span class="Z3988"

The COINS convention completely takes over the title attribute so a citation needs to wrap an '@class="citation"' around that:

Register of Ancient Geographical Entities (RAGE)

2016-06-07T14:25:39Z

TomElliott: /* Available */ added link to RAGE listserv archive

==Available==

* not currently available online
* An archive of the short-lived listserv (December 2000 - July 2001) for the RAGE effort remains online at http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/rage.html

==Description==

From [http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/vol/3/1/000031/000031.html Elliott/Gillies 2009]:
: They (Scaife, Chavez & Smith) imagined an inventory of conceptual spatial units and a set of associated web services that would store project-specific identifiers for geographic features, together with associated names. This index would provide for cross-project lookup of names, and dynamic mapping. Some development work was done subsequently at the University of Kentucky [Mohammed 2002], and the most current version may be had in the Registry XML format currently under development by Smith and colleagues at the Center for Hellenic Studies via the CHS Registry Browser (cf. [Smith 2005]). At present, it contains just over 3,500 entries drawn almost entirely from Ptolemy's works and thus has so far not seen wide use as a general dataset for the classical world.[*] The concern that informed the RAGE initiative remains valid: geographic interoperation between existing classics-related digital publications will require the collation of disparate, project-level gazetteers. It is our hope that, as [[Pleiades]] content is published, its open licensing and comprehensive coverage will catalyze a geo-webby solution.

:[*] Of course the primary source of delay for RAGE was the lack of availability of a comprehensive set of coordinates, identifiers and names around which to array the content of other gazetteers. The Barrington Atlas constitutes such a resource, but has not been available in an appropriate form, nor under a suitable license that would permit such reuse. Elliott and Gillies, in collaboration with others (including Smith) and with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the U.K. Joint Information Systems Committee have recently devised and promulgated a list of identifiers and name strings for every discrete geographic feature in the Barrington Atlas (see [Elliott 2008b]). Projects and publishers are encouraged to use these identifiers in their digital datasets; the Pleiades project aims to establish a web service for linking these identifiers to its online coordinate and name data as it is digitized. Linking or incorporation of the Ptolemaic information now in the RAGE registry will thereafter be a straightforward matter.

Dar al-Kutub: Collection of the Egyptian National Library

2016-01-12T19:23:23Z

TomElliott: add directionality and language wrapping for arabic

==Available==

* http://enl.numismatics.org/

==Project Director==

* Jere L. Bacharach
* Sherif Anwar

==Description==

From the project website (accessed 2016-01-12):

: Our catalog of 6,500 numismatic pieces – coins, glass weights, dies, medals, etc. - is the third major catalog of Islamic numismatic material held in the Egyptian National Library, formerly the Khedivial Library, Egypt’s most important library. Our catalog differs from its predecessors in a number of ways. First, it is a new catalog in that we had to read the inscriptions from the digital images which were taken under difficult and rushed conditions and not from the actual objects for reasons which are explained in the section entitled Introduction. Second, we included in this electronic catalog inscriptions in Arabic as Dr. Sherif Anwar read them, which was never possible in the previous studies because of costs. Inscriptions in European languages and references are the work of Dr. Norman D. Nicol from the 1982 catalog of the collection.

: Third, images of every piece are part of this catalog, which was financially impossible when the earlier catalogues were published. Fourth, the images are in color which modern technology permits at no additional cost. On the other hand the Egyptian National Library required that all images used on this webpage carry a watermark. Images without watermarks of specific items can be acquired by contacting the Egyptian National Library citing the 1982 catalog number, which is the last number in the title listing for each item. Fifth, whenever a mint was named and could be located, an accompanying map is included on the webpage. Finally, as far as possible, all the data and search tools are available in both Arabic and English for the first time in a catalog. Electronic searches in Arabic and English can by undertaken by going to the category “browse” and then using the various lists to narrow the search. In order to find a specific piece based upon its 1982 catalog number go to the heading “search” and under “keyword” go to “recordId” and type in the appropriate number.

: This project is a result of the cooperation of the Egyptian National Library and Archives and the American Numismatic Society with funding from USAID through the American Research Center in Egypt. This electronic catalog is made available under the Open Database License. It is powered by Numishare and numismatic concepts defined on Nomisma.org.

==Description in Arabic وصف المشروع باللغة العربية==

From the project website (accessed 2016-01-12)إقتباس من موقع المشروع بتاريخ:

<div lang="ar" dir="rtl" class="mw-content-rtl">

كتالوجنا يحتوي على 6500 قطع نمية : نقود وأوزان زجاجية، قوالب، ميداليات، الخ. وهو الكتالوج الرئيسي الثالث من المواد النمية الإسلامية الموجودة في المكتبة الوطنية المصرية، التي كانت تعرف سابقا بالمكتبة الخديوية، أهم مكتبة في مصر. كتالوجنا هذا يختلف عما سبقه في عدة نقاط. أولاً: هو كتالوج جديد وفيه كان لزاما علينا أن نقرأ النقوش من الصور الرقمية التي اخذت في ظروف صعبة وعلى عجلة. وليس من الكائنات الفعلية لأسباب شرحناها في المقدمة . ثانيا، أضفنا في هذا الكتالوج الإلكتروني نقوشاً باللغة العربية كما قرأها الدكتور شريف أنور. والتي لم تكن ممكنة في الدراسات السابقة بسبب التكاليف. النقوش في اللغات الأوروبية والمراجع هي من عمل الدكتور نورمان د. نيكول من كتالوج 1982 من المجموعة.

ثالثا: فيه صور من كل قطعة هي جزء من هذا الكتالوج، والتي كان من الناحية المادية مستحيلا عندما نشرت الكتالوجات السابقة. رابعا: الصور بالألوان حيث التكنولوجيا الحديثة تسمح بنشرها دون أي تكلفة إضافية. ومن ناحية أخرى المكتبة الوطنية المصرية تتطلب أن جميع الصور المستخدمة على صفحة الويب تحمل علامة مائية. الصور بدون علامات مائية من بنود محددة يمكن الحصول عليها عن طريق الاتصال بالمكتبة الوطنية المصرية على أن تشيروا إلى رقم كتالوج 1982، الذي هو آخر رقم في العنوان لكل بند. خامسا: كلما تسمي دار سكة، حيث ما وجدت يتم إضافة خريطة مرفقة معها على صفحة الويب. وأخيرا، كلما أمكن، كل البيانات وأدوات البحث متوفرة باللغتين العربية والإنجليزية لأول مرة في كتالوج. البحث الإلكتروني باللغتين العربية والإنجليزية حيث يمكن القيام بالذهاب إلى فئة "استعراض" ثم باستخدام القوائم المختلفة لتحديد نطاق البحث . من أجل العثور على قطعة معينة على أساس رقمها الكتالوجي 1982 إذهب إلى عنوان "البحث" وتحت عنوان "الكلمة الرئيسية" الذهاب إلى "recordit" ثم إطبع الرقم المناسب.

TomElliott: TomElliott moved page Collatinus Latin Lemmatizer to Collatinus: Make title match that of actual resource

== Available ==

* Download: http://outils.biblissima.fr/collatinus/
* Use Online: http://collatinus.fltr.ucl.ac.be/

== Author ==

* Yves Ouvrard (with the assistance of Philippe Verkerk)

== Description ==

Collatinus is a free, open-source application for the lemmatization and morphological analysis of Latin texts, available in both online and stand-alone versions (the latter available for Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms).

The following extended description (in French) is copied from the project website:

: Collatinus est à la fois un lemmatiseur et un analyseur morphologique de textes latins : il est capable, si on lui donne une forme déclinée ou conjuguée, de trouver quel mot il faudra chercher dans le dictionnaire pour avoir sa traduction dans une autre langue, ses différents sens, et toutes les autres données que fournit habituellement le dictionnaire.

: En pratique, il est utile surtout au professeur de latin, qui peut ainsi très rapidement, à partir d’un texte hors-manuel, distribuer à ses élèves un texte inédit avec son aide lexicale. Les élèves s’en servent souvent pour lire plus facilement le latin lorsque leurs connaissances lexicales et morphologiques sont encore insuffisantes.

: Principales fonctionnalités: lemmatisation de mots latins ou d'un texte latin entier, traduction des lemmes grâce aux dictionnaires de latin incorporés dans l'application, affichage des quantités (durée longue ou brève des syllabes) et des flexions (déclinaison ou conjugaison).

Guide to Evagrius Ponticus

2016-01-12T17:34:56Z

TomElliott: added Joel Kalvesmaki as editor

==Available==

* http://evagriusponticus.net/

==Editor==

* Joel Kalvesmaki

==Description==

Digital-only, peer-reviewed reference work about the fourth-century monastic theologian Evagrius Ponticus (ca. 345-399). Updated quarterly, it provides definitive, integrated lists of Evagrius's works, of editions and translations of those works, and of studies related to his life and thought. The Guide also includes a sourcebook of key ancient testimonies to Evagrius and his reception, in English translation, as well as a checklist of images from the ancient world.

The Guide takes relatively new approaches to open-access academic publishing in the digital humanities, and so is anticipated to develop over the coming years. Future editions will include a manuscript checklist, images of manuscripts, transcriptions of those manuscripts, and open-source critical editions of Evagrius's writings.

Pleiades

2016-01-12T17:00:13Z

TomElliott: /* Description */ added a blurb on what people can do with it.

==Available==

* http://pleiades.stoa.org/

==Description==

The '''''Pleiades''''' gazetteer of the ancient world provides open access to the most comprehensive geospatial dataset for antiquity available today. It is useful as a geographic reference work, helping students and scholars alike find the locations for (and additional information about) places they encounter when reading ancient texts and when investigating the history and archaeology of the ancient world. It also provides data in a variety of formats that can be download for re-use in other projects and in mapping tools and geographic information systems. Pleiades also serves as a component of other important digital humanities projects, ranging from online editions of primary sources for students to expert systems supporting advanced research in fields like archaeology, epigraphy, and numismatics. It also constitutes a core resource for classroom activities focused on ancient geography.

At present, ''Pleiades'' has extensive coverage for the Greek and Roman world, and is expanding to treat other cultures and periods from ancient Europe and the Mediterranean littoral into Southwest Asia and beyond. It contains information about over 30,000 ancient places, names, and locations. This content is constantly growing and improving thanks to the hard work of volunteers around the world, whose efforts are supported and guided by a team of scholarly editors and seasoned reviewers. For a complete listing, see the [http://pleiades.stoa.org/credits credits page].

''Pleiades'' is a joint project of the [[Institute for the Study of the Ancient World]] at New York University and the [[Ancient World Mapping Center]] at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In addition to financial and in-kind support from these institutions, ''Pleiades'' got started thanks to a development server provided by the [[Stoa Consortium]], and has matured thanks to three generous grants from the [http://www.neh.gov National Endowment for the Humanities].

All published content is freely accessible to everyone under open license and may be accessed [http://pleiades.stoa.org/places place-by-place] in multiple formats or [http://pleiades.stoa.org/downloads downloaded en masse]. All interested parties are invited to [http://pleiades.stoa.org/welcome join the ''Pleiades'' community] and contribute new or improved content.

Ancient Graffiti Project

2015-05-08T20:37:41Z

TomElliott: fixed typo in year for Benefiel et. al poster presentation

== Aims and scope ==

[http://ancientgraffiti.wlu.edu/ The project website] defines graffiti as "inscriptions that have been incised or scratched into wall-plaster".

The project digitizes ancient graffiti from the ancient cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii. It aims to provide scholars with a flexible digital tool to search the inscriptions in their spatial context. Thus, the project spans between epigraphy and archaeology.

The goal of the project is to include graffiti from both Herculaneum and Pompeii, but at the moment most inscriptions come from the former, while only one block from Pompeii is currently included (''Regio'' I, ''Insula'' 8).

== Search platform ==

The project website provides a sophisticated search engine that allows for searches based on the location of the graffiti ("Search by Map"), as well as on its properties, drawing type and content.

== Interoperability ==

The epigraphical database and the search platform are interoperable with the [[Electronic Archive of Greek and Latin Epigraphy (EAGLE)|EAGLE]] epigraphic database, the EDR ([[Epigraphic Database Roma]]) and the [[EAGLE Europeana Network]].

== External resources ==

==Description==
Many digital classicists are bloggers, and many websites (blogs and otherwise) are equipped with web feeds to support syndication, update notification, and interoperation. Where blogs or feed capabilities have been identified for one or another site or project in the wiki, these will be linked below. If you are looking for blogs on Classical topics, you should consult the [http://ancientworldbloggers.blogspot.com/ Ancient World Bloggers Group] and the [http://planet.atlantides.org/maia/ Maia Atlantis feed aggregator], which is part of the [[Planet Atlantides]] project.
