Inscriptions of Aphrodisias: Oxford Workshop on Lexica, Prosopographies and Corpora
Document Contents
Names: Lexica, Prosopographies and Corpora
The Classics Centre, Oxford, Monday-Tuesday 10-11 January
Sponsored by the AHRB project, Inscriptions of Aphrodisias, together with the Centre for the Study of Ancient Documents and the Lexicon of Greek Personal Names.
The workshop is intended to explore the principles adopted by different projects which are dealing with personal names in ancient and mediaeval texts - whether as names (lexica), as persons (prosopographies) or within texts (corpora). We fell that this would be a good moment to consider processes of identification, differentiation and analysis; in particular it could be helpful to explore to what extent we can hope to achieve inter-operability between different web-based projects.
We are asking the representatives of each project to say, firstly, how they deal with names (if at all) and secondly, what they would want to get from other projects: so, what do corpora want from analytical projects, and vice versa.
