Open Data in Ancient and Byzantine Studies

Exploring the impact of open-access and openly licensed data and code in classical and Byzantine studies. 

Open Data in Ancient and Byzantine Studies shows how openness supports transparency, collaboration, the identification of biases, and new interpretive and data‑driven approaches to ancient sources. Through practical case studies, the book demonstrates how methods such as epigraphic transcription, textual criticism, and archaeological modeling have advanced open data standards and practices.

This book highlights the potential of interoperability, documentation, and open workflows for broader approaches to the ancient world. Bringing together work from classics, Byzantine studies, archaeology, linguistics, and digital humanities, it presents open scholarship as a transformative model for academic knowledge production.
