A student is working on detecting gaps in text transcriptions. Does anyone in #DigiClass or beyond know of open transcriptions of ancient Greek inscriptions, in EpiDoc or otherwise, similar to papyri.info ? I've worked with literary texts and papyri, but I'm stumped on this.

A question for scientists (construed as broadly as you like) of BlueSky: What makes something data?
(Question inspired by a talk I listened to this morning, and of course I have thoughts, but I wanted to throw this out there first.)

What is "good" data presentation and why should #DH care?
Visualisation is not only a technical skill, but a humanistic act.
I give my thoughts on where to draw the line literally and figuratively, and why humanists are not only well-equipped but also needed in discussions about data vusualisation.
