- Title
GAP: A NEOGEO APPROACH TO CLASSICAL RESOURCES.
- Authors
Isaksen, Leif; Barker, Elton; Kansa, Eric C.; Byrne, Kate
- Abstract
Google Ancient Places (GAP) is a Google Digital Humanities Award recipient that will mine the Google Books corpus for classical material that has a strong geographic and historical basis. GAP will allow scholars, students, and enthusiasts world-wide to query the Google Books corpus to ask for books related to a geographic location or to ask for the locations referred to in a classical text. The traditional difficulty of identifying place names will be overcome by using a combination of URI-based gazetteers and an identification algorithm that associates the linear clustering of places within narrative texts with the geographic clustering of locations in the real world.
