SHOT: some related projects

Projects in classical studies

A few projects I am aware of that explicitly address the issues of openness that are central to this site:

The Historical Event Markup and Linking: an important project, disseminated as open-source work from its inception. (Bruce Robertson)
Diogenes: "a tool for searching and browsing the databases of ancient texts, primarily in Latin and Greek, that are published by the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae and the Packard Humanities Institute." (Peter Heslin)
Open Archaeology: XML documents, DTDs and perl tools for working with them. Home page also has useful links to other resources. (Sebastian Heath)
tei.epidoc: a proposed open standard for markup of epigraphic texts (Tom Elliott et al.)

Among the many excellent sites with extensive resources about open software, two that I return to especially frequently are

The Open Source Now project, sponsored by RedHat, "is dedicated to open source advocacy in schools and government."
