• Applicant: Privatdozentin Dr. Monica Berti, Ph.D.
• Subject Area: Greek and Latin Philology ; Ancient History
• Term: since 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 434173983

The goal of the project is to extract, analyze, annotate and comment the language of ancient Greek references to authors and works. This project will produce a structured knowledge resource with ancient Greek word forms, corresponding lemmata, contextual annotations, coreferences and relations. The project will provide a full database of lemmatized and annotated Named Entities pertaining to words and expressions of bibliographic citations in ancient sources (author names, work titles, work descriptions and editions). Entities will be extracted and annotated in the text of the Deipnosophists of Athenaeus of Naucratis with preliminary annotations of the Lexicon of the ten orators of Valerius Harpocration and of the Suda (Α-Γ entries). The final goal is to produce a text-based catalog of ancient Greek literature with a structured knowledge base that can be reused to annotate and analyze other texts. Annotations will be the result of a deep analysis of the original language and the project will produce a commentary of ancient practices of source references.
