PaleOrdia: Semantically Describing (Cuneiform) Paleography using Paleographic Linked Open Data [pdf]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
This publication describes PaleOrdia, a web application developed to visualize (cuneiform) paleographic sign variants in Wikidata and the data model developed in Wikidata to represent paleography. Modeling paleographic sign variants of (ancient) scripts in linked open data is a relatively new development. It will enable better descriptions of digital scholarly editions with paleographic annotations supported by established web annotation data model vocabularies. As a use case for showcasing the capabilities of PaleOrdia, the cuneiform annotation tool Cuneur is presented as one way to harness the paleographiclinked open data for digital scholarly editions.
