Princeton University joins Nomisma LOD cloud

The Princeton University numismatic collection has bee integrated into the Nomisma.org Linked Open Data cloud, with almost 3,600 coins linked to coin types in Online Coins of the Roman Empire, Coinage of the Roman Republic Online, and the various portals that fall under Hellenistic Royal Coinages. The majority of the coins have been photographed and are accessible as zoomable IIIF images. Although many coins are from excavations, e.g., Antioch, the contextual information is not yet expressed is LOD to populate geographic visualizations associated with types and Nomisma concepts as this phase. At some point, we should expect to see a large submission of Byzantine coinage from Princeton when the new joint typology project from Princeton-Dumbarton Oaks is ready for publication.
