The Syriaca.org team will be giving a private demo at the AAR SBL.
Temporary links to the demo site for that presentation are:
The Gazetteer homepage may be viewed at demo.syriaca.org
A list of all places is viewable as a Browse Menu.
Our model entry is Edessa.
A general overview of the entire Syriaca.org project is here.
Our work adopts the Un-GIS model advocated by Sean Gilles (co-author of GeoJSON) in this article: What’s an Un-GIS?
The general architecture of our project owes much to the work of Tom Elliott at NYU’s Institute for the Study of the Ancient World.
Please take a moment to give us feedback on our project at our user study. We appreciate your input!
