OCRE at the AIA/SCS in San Francisco

Andrew Meadows, one of the project managers for the Online Coins of the Roman Empire project, was in San Francisco today to present on a panel of NEH-funded projects in the archaeological realm, as part of the larger AIA/SCS conference. It generated a string of tweets (and replies) from Eric Kansa of OpenContext, which you can read at https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23aiascs%20%40menetys&src=typd. Andy's presentation is more or less represented on Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QXSeOSNnV6-Zxe3dU_desqouTDcIEPIcT_XySZ8gMiA/edit. The presentation is effectively a summary of the state of the digital world of numismatics, including involvement in Pelagios and a crowdsourced coin identification project with MicroPasts to facilitate future integration of Portable Antiquities Scheme coins into OCRE.
