Los Estudios Clásicos como disciplina siempre se han beneficiado del uso de la tecnología digital en la investigación, con proyectos que datan desde los años 70 e incluso de fechas anteriores. Este artículo examina la integración de los Estudios Clásicos y las nuevas tecnologías de la información y presenta un caso práctico en torno a EpiDoc, una lengua de marcado uso en epigrafía. Hay constancia de la influencia positiva de la introducción de EpiDoc: no solo cuenta con varios proyectos colaborativos en la actualidad sino que la naturaleza de su tecnología fomenta la investigación en abierto. Las inscripciones del proyecto de Aphrodisias son una muestra significativa del potencial de las publicaciones electrónicas basadas en este lenguaje. Aunque el efecto de EpiDoc en la propia investigación permanece todavía inconcluso, al contar con escasos ejemplos claros, hay una clara evidencia de las posibilidades de futuro que posee. La difusión de estas conclusiones a la amplia comunidad de humanidades digitales clásicas muestra una tendencia hacia la colaboración en publicaciones y proyectos recientes, así como una aceptación gradual de publicaciones electrónicas.
Classics as a discipline has always taken advantage of digital methods in research, with projects dating back to the 1970s and earlier. This article examines the integration of classics and computing, and presents a case study of EpiDoc, a markup language used in epigraphy. Positive evidence can be found for EpiDoc’s influence on collaboration, with several current collaborative projects, and the nature of the technology encouraging open, reusable scholarship. The Inscriptions of Aphrodisias project illustrates much of the potential of electronic publishing. EpiDoc’s effect on research questions themselves remains inconclusive, although definite possibilities for the future are apparent. Opening up these conclusions to the wider digital classics community shows a trend towards collaboration in recent publications and projects, as well as a gradual uptake of electronic publication.
Space use in the restored California Capitol is explored through an analysis of newspaper reports and interviews with occupants regarding methods of space assignment, territoriality, personalization, the effects of centrality and propinquity, and the symbolism of office decor. Incidents of competition for space tended to be infrequent and highly ritualized. The relative lack of conflict is due to a generally adequate space situation in a newly renovated and attractive building, a traditional system of space allocation accepted as legitimate, considerable autonomy for the occupants to control and personalize assigned spaces, and the linkage of office quality to rank within a system allowing upward mobility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
