Archimedes Project Tools

The Archimedes Project will create a testbed for developing and exploring model interactive environments for the history of mechanics. It will also serve as a proof-of-concept project for open digital libraries for topics in the history of science designed to integrate research and knowledge dissemination in new ways.
The testbed also requires a powerful, linguistically based information technology for handling the variety of languages occurring in the source materials. Source documents are being prepared with tools such as automatic morphological analysis of Latin, Greek and Italian, and semantic linking of sources to general and technical, modern and historical dictionaries and reference works.
  • Arboreal (content-based XML browser and annotation environment
  • Donatus (morphological analysis for XML texts)
  • Pollux (direct access to dictionaries)

Collection of Historical Sources on Mechanics

Introduction and institutional context

The Archimedes Project is the digital library component of a major research project of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science dealing with mental models in the history of mechanics. The library contains key primary sources documenting the development from ancient to early modern mechanics. The collection browser of the project coordinates images and text and links the texts by means of language technology to dictionaries.
The project would not have been possible without the tight collaboration of American and European partners who have not only invested previous experience in this project, but who also share a commitment to open access without which the vision of an open digital research library would be impossible to accomplish.
Ongoing research at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin on the long-term development of mental models of mechanical thinking and their manifestation in technical terminologies, inferences of practitioners, engineers, and scientists plays an important role in the testbed design. The testbed also requires a powerful, linguistically based information technology for handling the variety of languages occurring in the source materials. Source documents are being prepared with tools such as automatic morphological analysis of Latin, Greek and Italian, and semantic linking of sources to general and technical, modern and historical dictionaries and reference works.

XML-Based Language Technology for Annotation, Morphological Analysis and Dictionary Access (Arboreal)

The Arboreal XML browser is a powerful and flexible tool developed by the Archimedes Project for content-based access to, and annotation of, XML texts. Arboreal includes special features for working with parallel versions of texts, morphology and terminology, and linked images. Integrated language support is currently provided for Latin, Greek, Arabic, Chinese, languages written in cuneiform, and major western European languages. Arboreal supports many standards and is designed as a cross-platform tool that can be used on many different computing systems.

Database Machine Drawings

The "database machine drawings" (DMD) is part of the research project "The Relation of Practical Experience and Conceptual Structures in the Emergence of Science: Mental Models in the History of Mechanics," a project pursued by Department I of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG), Berlin. In its context, a large number of original sources concerning the history of mechanics have been made available on the Internet as a digital research library, the "Archimedes Project." In this broader context the database DMD is especially devoted to studying the practical knowledge of early modern engineers.
