Session outline

In this session you will be introduced to Cited Loci, an open source citation mining pipeline designed for the extraction of canonical citations to primary sources from Classics publications. Canonical citations are just one out of many types of references that are found in publications in this field, alongside references to inscriptions, papyri, museum objects etc. The automatic indexing of this kind of citations enables publishers and libraries to enrich publications' full-text in order to make it better findable and accessible, and to build a reacher reading experiences for the end user (e.g. by linking citations with the full-text of the cited source). After a brief introduction to how Cited Loci was designed and implemented, three examples of its application will be presented, ranging from scholarly publishing to information retrieval to the study of scholarly reception. The session will be concluded by a demo of the pipeline by using IndexLocorum101, a Binder-runnable template project with detailed explanations of how to configure and run the Cited Loci pipeline.
