Ancient documents represent a primary source for research in the humanities. A substantial body of digital material has evolved containing information about these documents. Unfortunately these digital resources are often held within myriad locations, owned by a range of groups or individuals, are held within a diverse range of formats and are either unavailable or are available only in isolation. This paper describes a successful investigation into using the OGSA-DAI distributed data management software to build bridges between these islands of data and so to facilitate navigation across a larger data space than is otherwise achievable. An overview of a proof-of-concept that was developed is given along with the technical challenges encountered. Discussion from researchers in the humanities about such an architecture reveals the possibility of creating virtual data centres for the coordinated sharing of such resources. It also raises important questions as to how distributed data resources can be meaningfully federated and queried.

Ancient texts represent a primary source for research in the classics. A substantial body of digital material has evolved enriching these texts. Unfortunately these data are often distributed across myriad locations, stored in diverse and incompatible formats and are either not available online or are made available only in isolation. This paper describes an investigation into using linked data principles and technologies to build bridges between these islands of data to deliver an integrated data landscape through which researchers can explore and so seek to understand this data. The evaluation revealed that researchers were of the opinion that the linked data representation, and its visualisation as graphs, offers an intuitive and usable means of exploring and understanding the data, exceeding the capabilities offered by current online portals to classics data.

In this paper, we present SNAP:DRGN, a pilot project intended to support Ancient World Linked Open Data through the creation of persistent identifiers for person and person-like entities. We introduce the linked data landscape as it exists with respect to the digitized Classical world and SNAP:DRGNs place within it.
