Catalog of Authors and Works
The Catalog of the Digital Suda project is populated with forms deriving from the linguistic extraction and annotation of expressions about names of authors and works in the Greek text of the Suda (ed. Adler).
This is the first version of the Catalog, which includes the entries of the first volume of the Adler edition (praefatio, alpha, beta, and gamma), is based on semi-automatic methods, and linked to external resources. Results are currently checked and analyzed for correction, further disambiguation, NE relation, and coreference resolution. Forthcoming versions of the catalog will allow to search Greek forms and will be enriched with data from other sources as part of the text-based Catalog of Authors and Works of the Linked Ancient Greek and Latin (LAGL) project.
Entries of this catalog are also searchable in the unified Catalog of Authors and Works of the Linked Ancient Greek and Latin (LAGL) project, which collects data from different ancient Greek sources.
The text of the Suda (ed. Adler) is available as part of the Digital Suda project and provided with a CTS URN retriever:
