Inscriptions of Aphrodisias: Workshop on Digital Epigraphy
Document Contents
The aim of the workshop is to exchange information about the digital exploitation of documents (What are we doing?), to learn about each other’s methodologies (How are we doing it?) and to exchange ideas about future progress and plans (Where are we going? What do we need?). We hope to keep discussion as informal as possible: it is helpful to learn about each other’s mistakes, and also to share wild ideas.
