Dear All, After some last minute improvements and polishing up (big thank-you to Iain ...) Open Milton is officially launched today on Milton's 400th Birthday. Please feel free to forward this info to other people/lists who might find it of interest.
Regards, Rufus ~ Open Milton Launched ~ The 9th of December 2008 is John Milton's 400th birthday. To celebrate this life-long advocate of liberty we've officially launched 'Open Milton' – an open set of Milton's works, together with ancillary information and tools, in a form designed for reuse. <http://www.openmilton.org/> ## More Info The Open Milton project has two main objectives: 1. Provide the works of John Milton, along with textual apparatus and tools all in an open form. 2. Deliver this material as a knowledge package that allows for easy deployment, redistribution and reuse. Specifically we provide a full open set of Milton's works along with ancillary material, a variety of tools and a python API. In addition to the works themselves there is a chronology, statistics, a concordance and search facilities. All material is open (http://www.opendefinition.org) so that anyone can use, redistribute and reuse these materials freely. _______________________________________________ okfn-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.okfn.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/okfn-discuss
