Ancient Graffiti Project
Overview
The goal of the Ancient Graffiti Project is to provide a digital resource so that users can explore the ancient graffiti in Herculaneum and Pompeii.
Desired Functionality
- admin interface to make changes to the inscriptions
- Enter the metadata about the inscriptions
- Update information about the insula, properties
- ability to generate reports from database
- incorporate a “Greatest Hits” (e.g., where a Latin teacher could go to get our favorites, so she doesn’t have to wade through all the others)
- open API to export data as JSON and/or as XML
- Example: can export all the figural graffiti at once
- Will have a user interface to this data but can also access through a web service/URL
