Pleiades dataset

Pleiades gives scholars, students, and enthusiasts worldwide the ability to use, create, and share historical geographic information about the ancient world in digital form. At present, Pleiades has extensive coverage for the Greek and Roman world, and is expanding into Ancient Near Eastern, Byzantine, Celtic, and Early Medieval geography. JSON-formatted data is the site's "only comprehensive data dump." It contains all attributes of all place, name, and location objects in the database that have been published. Each morning, a single JSON file for all published places is written to a JSON file at http://atlantides.org/downloads/pleiades/json/. JSON is a widely used, well-known format that is popular for use in web applications and other programming tasks. We keep a week's worth of files, deleting older ones. The file named pleiades-places-latest.json.gz will always get you the most recent version. Note also that those previously published place resources that have been withdrawn and moved to the "errata" section of the site are dumped to a separate json file.
