The Pelagios Network (https://pelagios.org/) is a community of researchers, scientists and curators using Linked Data methods and tools to investigate the past.
Pinned
Given current events, this seems to be the right time for us, Pelagios, to be joining bluer skies. Who are we? We are a free and open association of equal and interdependent Partners from the digital humanities, GLAM sector, and data science field, working to make linking data online really easy.
Dear all, we have a shiny new website pelagios.org. We hope that it does a better job of setting out who we are, what we do, and why you might want to join us.
Welcome to Pelagios Network
The Pelagios Network is a community of scholars, technologists, and cultural heritage professionals working together to make the world’s historical places and spaces more visible online.

EpiDoc is the de facto standard for digital encoding of epigraphy, papyrology and other ancient or historical text-bearing objects.
Basically, if your object is as important as your text then EpiDoc may be the flavour of TEI XML for you. (Books, ecclectic editions of manuscripts etc maybe less so.)
