Some news. Peripleo github.com/britishlibra... is set for a re-boot thanks to the Research Software Maintenance Fund www.software.ac.uk/research-sof.... We're going to rebuild Peripleo as an open, accessible, browser-based map app that can be configured without coding skills or hosting costs 1/2

We @pelagios.bsky.social are looking to evolve Peripleo, a browser-based tool for the mapping of things related to place github.com/britishlibra..., to make it easier to use by historians and archaeologists as a research tool. Let me know if you're interested.

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.)

Sketching out an idea for a future #liiive feature: • Write about a IIIF object • Embed annotation snippets (links or images). • Everything stays connected—click a snippet to move the viewer. Maybe even a bit of #scrollytelling? Curious what you think—would you use this? #DigitalHumanities #IIIF
User interface concept for an "essay" feature in #liiive. Images shows the user interface with a new overlay panel containing text about the IIIF object (the 1507 Waldseemüller map). The text includes an embedded annotation snippet image and an annotation link. The viewer (right side) shows the same annotated region as the snippet.
