Welcome to HucitLib’s documentation!
hucitlib
is a knowledge base about classical (Greek and Latin) texts, as
well as a Python library to query and modify its contents.
The main goal of hucitlib
is to support the automatic extraction of
bibliographic references to primary sources in the domain of Classics. The hucitlib
knowledge base contains:
names (and abbreviations) of ancient authors;
titles (and abbreviations) of ancient works;
resolvable URIs and unique identifiers (CTS URNs) for authors, works and citable passages;
links to external resources (Perseus Catalog, Wikidata, Wikipedia);
information about the canonical citation structure of ancient works.
hucitlib
relies on SuRF , a Python Object RDF Mapper library, so as to In order to make the
knowledge base as much as possible easy to use programmatically (read more here).
