    <![CDATA[Rome Reborn 1.0 is the continuation of five centuries of research by scholars, architects 
    and artists since the Renaissance who have attempted to restore the ruins of the ancient city with 
    words, maps and images. "Rome Reborn 1.0" is a true 3D model that runs in real time. Users 
    can navigate through the model with complete freedom and enter important public buildings, 
    such as the Roman Senate House, the Colosseum, or the Temple of Venus and Rome, the

    of digital representations of the plan itself, the collection will include detailed information on 
    each element of the plan, its contemporary context and its impact on early medieval monastic

<Document id="arapesh" name="Arapesh Grammar and Digital Language Archive">
    <![CDATA[The Arapesh Grammar and Digital Language Archive project will create a rich 
    digital repository of sound recordings, text, and grammatical information about the 
    endangered Arapesh family of languages, which are known to linguistic science for their 
    unusual sound-based noun classification and agreement systems. Traditionally spoken by 
    people living along the New Guinea north coast, in many villages Arapesh is no longer being 
    learned by children, who grow up speaking the local lingua franca Tok Pisin instead. The Digital 
    Language Archive will also serve as a research tool, producing a written grammar of Arapesh 
    focusing on the Cemaun dialect. A multilingual, multimedia web site will also be developed to 
    provide the public with an accessible resource on this remarkable group of languages.

    the twentieth century that architectural historians of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation

    models in early China and became the standard textbook for women’s education for the 
    next two millennia. This project includes a translation of the text, a book-length study, and 
    a digital archive that will serve as a publicly accessible tool for scholarly exploration (in both 
    English and Chinese) of women’s social, legal, and ritual status as represented in the 
    texts of specific periods in Chinese history.
