Using the HMT data in the CITE environment

How to use URNs for citable data

What do our text URNs Mean…

  1. urn:cts :text urn
  2. urn:cts:greekLit :text urn for Greek literature
  3. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0012 :text urn for Homeric poetry
  4. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0012.tlg001 :text urn for the Iliad
  5. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0012.tlg001.msA :text urn for the Venetus A version of the Iliad
  6. urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0012.tlg001.msA:1.1 :text urn for Book 1 line 1 of the Venetus A Iliad

note you will also see tlg5026 to refer to the Homeric scholia today

URNs let you refer to notional works as well as specific versions

URNs for Objects

We also use URNs for citable objects and images, completing our text,image,artifact triangle

e.g. urn:cite2:hmt:msA.12r (folio 12r of the Venetus as a notional object, can be linked to multiple images and contains multiple texts)

What can you do with our data?

Because all these relationships are defined in our data, you can input text and object urns and get associated items (e.g. all the scholia that are on 12r or the image where line 1.1 appears)

  1. Browse text will let you explore content we have preloaded into the tool for you (Book 1 of the Venetus, Iliad and Scholia)
  2. Explore texts has some fun tools to help you further explore the corpus (we recommend avoiding breathings and accents in string search because unicode can be problematic)
