The Bible and the Semantic Web

4th May 2004 / by James Tauber

For many years I've been thinking about the application of Semantic Web technology to studying (and presenting the results of the study of) the Bible. However, I never really thought about the application of Bible study (and the tools and techniques developed for it) to the Semantic Web.

Then I came across this great blog entry, discussing the latter.

On the former, there is a wonderful site SemanticBible that I hope I can contribute to in some way.

I also really need to get back to my morphological analysis. I haven't thought about it for a while, but I need to come up with URIs for each lemmata and word form. I could even grandfather in Strong's numbers and G/K numbers.

By day I’m an entrepreneur, web technologist and open-source developer but my academic background is in linguistics (along with some classics, comparative philology, and educational statistics) and my main avocation is working on text, annotations, analysis and software relating to historical languages with a particular interest in facilitating better learning.

While my focus has mostly been on Biblical Greek, much of the work is highly relevant to other Hellenistic Greek texts, other dialects of Ancient Greek and, indeed, texts in completely different languages as well.
