Papers by Charles Jones
This publication, The AWOL Index, is an experimental project, developed jointly by Jones and Tom Elliott, the Associate Director for Digital Programs at New York University's Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (ISAW), with the assistance of Pavan Atri, Roger Bagnall, Dawn Gross, Sebastian Heath, Gabriel McKee, Ronak Parpani, David Ratzan, and Kristen Soule.
Creation of The AWOL Index was made possible by a grant from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation.
We extract information from AWOL about both top-level and subordinate resources. Subordinate resources are those we deduce to be "part of" another resource (e.g., a single issue of a journal or a sub-section of a website). Top-level resources are the opposite: those resources described by AWOL for which we have detected no containing/superior resource.
The latest data extraction was performed on 9 July 2015. At that time, our software successfully extracted 1,301 top-level and 50,704 subordinate resources. For 94% percent of the top-level resources it was able to extract a textual description substantively different from the resource title. Dates of individual source posts in AWOL vary between 2009 and 2015; therefore, content in The AWOL Index will only be as current as the original blog post was on the day of extraction.

Current Practice in Linked Open Data for the Ancient World
Editors: Thomas Elliott, Sebastian Heath, John Muccigrosso
Abstract: Reports on current work relevant to the role of Linked Open Data (LOD) in the study of the ancient world. As a term, LOD encompasses approaches to the publication of digital resources that emphasize stability, relatively fine-grained access to intellectual content via public URIs, and re-usability as defined both by publication of machine reabable data and by publication under licenses that permit further copying of available materials. This collection presents a series of reports from participants in 2012 and 2013 sessions of the NEH-funded Linked Ancient World Data Institute. The contributors come from a wide range of academic disciplines and professional backgrounds. The projects they represent reflect this range and also illustrate many stages of the process of moving from concept to implementation, with a focus on results achieved by the mid 2013 to early 2014 timeframe.
Although this was the first cuneiform tablet discovered by the
Oriental Institute’s excavations at Persepolis, there is no mention of it in the publications of Herzfeld or of Erich Schmidt, who succeeded him as director of the excavations, or in those of George G. Cameron or Richard T. Hallock, who undertook the publication of the many Treasury and Fortification tablets found later. Perhaps Herzfeld was not excited by a fragment with a text that was mostly numbers and “dittos” and a few
words that would have been incomprehensible in 1932, accompanied by the merest traces of a seal impression.
It is tempting to infer from these photographs that Herzfeld made trial excavations in the Treasury as early as the season of 1932, but no records of such an effort survive....

Creation of The AWOL Index was made possible by a grant from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation.
AWOL began with a series of entries under the heading AWOL on the Ancient World Bloggers Group Blog. I moved it to its own space here beginning in 2009.
The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available.
The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.
AWOL is syndicated to Facebook and Twitter.
It uses Jones' Ancient World Online (AWOL) as a model.
We welcome and encourage active participation and will add interested parties to the authors' list upon request.
