• Monica Berti

    Welcome! I am a Classicist and Digital Humanist. My research focuses on the Graeco-Roman World and the computational analysis of Ancient Greek and Latin, and I teach courses in Ancient History, Digital Classics, Digital Philology, and Digital Humanities.

About me

Who Am I?

I am a professor and DFG project leader at Leipzig University, where I teach courses in Ancient History, Digital Classics, Digital Philology, and Digital Humanities.

My research interests are mainly focused on the Graeco-Roman World, the computational analysis of Ancient Greek and Latin, and the Digital Humanities. I have published extensively and led projects in these fields as part of the Open Greek and Latin (OGL) initiative at the Alexander von Humboldt Chair of Digital Humanities at Leipzig University and of the Perseus Digital Library at Tufts University. I am developing data and tools for Named Entity Recognition (NER), Semantic Annotation, and Linked Open Data (LOD) for the Ancient World in the Linked Ancient Greek and Latin (LAGL) project.

As part of my teaching activities, I am the program director of Sunoikisis Digital Classics, an international consortium of Digital Classics programs developed in collaboration with Harvard’s Center for Hellenic Studies and the Institute of Classical Studies of the School of Advanced Study at the University of London.

Projects and Research

Linked Ancient Greek and Latin (LAGL)

LAGL collects Linked Open Data about ancient Greek and Latin with a main focus on Named Entities. The project is currently collecting NEs related to ancient authors and personal names (onomastics.lagl.org), but it will also offer place names and miscellaneous NEs.

Linked Ancient Greek and Latin (LAGL)

LAGL Catalog

This Catalog is part of the Linked Ancient Greek and Latin (LAGL) project and is populated with forms deriving from the linguistic extraction and annotation of expressions about authors and works in ancient Greek sources.

LAGL Catalog

The Leipzig Open Fragmentary Texts Series (LOFTS)

LOFTS establishes open editions of ancient works that survive only through quotations and text reuses in later texts (textual fragments). The project undertakes two tasks: 1) digitize paper editions of fragmentary works and link them to the source texts from which the fragments have been collected, and 2) produce new digital editions of fragmentary works.

The Leipzig Open Fragmentary Texts Series

Digital Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum (DFHG)

The Digital Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum (DFHG) is the digital version of the five volumes of the Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum (FHG) of Karl Müller (1841–1872). The DFHG is a digital collection of structured data that provides textual, philological, and historiographical solutions for representing fragmentary authors and works in a digital environment. The DFHG offers many tools and services that can be applied to other collections of fragmentary texts.

Digital Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum

Digital Athenaeus

The Digital Athenaeus is the digital edition of the Deipnosophists of Athenaeus of Naucratis with a focus on annotating quotations and text reuses in order to provide an inventory and a data model of authors and works referred to in the Deipnosophists. The Greek text of the Deipnosophists is based on the Teubner edition of Georg Kaibel (1887-1890) and the Digital Athenaeus provides users with tools for accessing the text and getting information about authors and works quoted by Athenaeus.

Digital Athenaeus

Digital Marmor Parium

The Digital Marmor Parium Project is a new digital edition of the Parian Marble, which is a Hellenistic chronicle on a marble slab coming from the Greek island of Paros and preserving a Greek chronology (1581/80 - 299/98 BC) with a list of kings and archons accompanied by short references to historical events mainly based on the Athenian history. The project provides images and drawings of the inscription, and digital data about named entities, chronological expressions, and linguistic information preserved by the text of the Parian Marble.

Digital Marmor Parium

demo.fragmentarytexts.org

demo.fragmentarytexts.org is a project for experimenting tools and devising methods for representing quotations and text reuses of lost authors and works (textual fragments). It collects different examples from ancient Greek authors, whose texts are rich of quotations and text reuses of lost works. The project uses Ajax technology to represent fragmentary texts and an Open Source CMS enriched with plugins created ad-hoc in order to add visual functionalities.

demo.fragmentarytexts.org

Digital Rosetta Stone

The Digital Rosetta Stone (Der Stein von Rosette digital) is a project for producing a digital edition of the Rosetta Stone with textual alignment, translation alignment, and morphosyntactic annotations of the three scripts of the inscription. The project is developed in collaboration with the Ägyptologisches Institut at the University of Leipzig, the British Museum, and the Digital Epigraphy Project.

TM Paradoxography

Trismegistos Paradoxography is an Open Access database of ancient Greek paradoxography, that is, literary collections of strange-but-(supposedly-)true phenomena concerning the natural world and the human sphere. TM Paradoxography allows users to search different kinds of annotated named entities mentioned either in the Greek paradoxographical corpus as a whole, or in a specific collection.
