"Heritage projects don't usually feature neighbourhoods like Campsbourne... With some of the highest levels of deprivation in England its residents have had precious few opportunities to tell the story of the estate.

Great talk yesterday by @kgeographer.bsky.social on EDOP (Environmental Dimensions of Place) — now live with 190,000+ watershed profiles using HydroATLAS data, digital elevation models, and ecoregion classifications (CDOP: Cultural Dimensions of Place to follow).

My first presentation on Computing Place and its Environmental Dimensions of Place signature service (EDOPS) is to the @pelagios.bsky.social Place Working Group meeting, 6 April, 14:00 UTC. Easy signup to attend: pitt.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

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.

Working with a small museum/archive/project with digitized images but little metadata? I'm looking for testers for a VLM pipeline for auto-enrichment (transcription, captions, tags, IIIF). If you share a few sample images, I'll run them through + share results. Would love to hear your feedback!

Tomorrow (Wed) 14:00 GMT is our Annotation December Stammtisch, at which Rocio Da Riva (Barcelona) will discuss RelNet — a project exploring sacred landscapes and the connections between Babylonian cult centres. Join us to hear about all the issues of annotating cuneiform texts with digital tools

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.)

This is a monthly event, and if the EpiDoc maintainers can’t answer your encoding questions, I’m not sure who can.

#EpiDoc Office Hour: Wednesday Oct 22 at 17:00 BST / 12:00 EDT. github.com/EpiDoc/Tutor... Feel free to drop in at the open zoom link if you want to know more about EpiDoc, have specific questions, need technical help, are thinking about a project or just want to hear what other people are up to.

Starting in 10 minutes - our Fall plenary with @miaout.bsky.social on Pitfalls and promises: AI & cultural heritage collections in 2025. Now that ‘using AI’ has gone from a difficult, bespoke process to something you can do on your browser, what should researchers be excited / anxious about & why?

Also, if you are a scholar of the Ancient Near East, consider sending us your stuff! It will be published in our edited collection for Nature: www.nature.com/collections/...
