Description

The dataset contains 500,536 cleaned and streamlined Latin inscriptions from the Epigraphic Database Clauss Slaby (EDCS, http://www.manfredclauss.de/), aggregated on 2021/03/01, created for the purpose of a quantitative study of epigraphic trends by the Social Dynamics in the Ancient Mediterranean Project (SDAM, http://sdam.au.dk).

The full lifecycle of the transformation process, including programmatical access, modifications, and streamlining of the original dataset is documented by a sequence of Python and R scripts (https://github.com/sdam-au/EDCS_ETL). The dataset is stored as JSON file, ensuring compatibility both with Python and R.

The scripts used to generate the dataset and their metadata are available via GitHub: https://github.com/sdam-au/EDCS_ETL.
