Show HN: Roma Data Pipeline – Open-Source Ancient Rome Data

https://github.com/thomaspalaio/roma-data-pipeline
2•smurfysmurf•1d ago
I created a data pipeline that aggregates data from

Pleiades Stanfords ORBIS Harvards DARMC AWMC ToposText WikiData

and then normalizes it all into a single schema and builds a SQLite database.

I did this in support of a free app I developed that gives a Google/Apple maps like experience for ancient Rome.

I had a difficult time finding good, joined data sources and created my own. I thought I might opensource it with the hope that 1) Others may find some value in this (especially academics) 2) Others can contribute and grow the breadth and depth of the data

Open to all feedback or thoughts and also any points to relevant datasets or similar projects that might exist

Github: https://github.com/thomaspalaio/roma-data-pipeline (P.s. first time doing a side project / open source)
