Attic Law Ontology V.2.0

This is version 2.0 of an ontology describing the domain of Classical Athenian law and oratory. This ontology combines four ontoterminologies: Legal Processes, which describes the types of lawsuits substantively and procedurally; Legal Bodies, which describes the officials and judicial bodies involved in legal proceedings; Legal Participants, which describes the non-state participants in legal proceedings; and Classical Oratory, which describes the authors and speeches of Attic oratory. By combining these ontoterminologies, this ontology also describes legal events, or the instances of legal proceedings with their involved participants and speeches. This ontology draws upon multiple sources, including the corpus of Athenian oratory, the Pseudo-Aristotelian Constitution of Athens, The Law of Ancient Athens by David D. Phillips, and the Shape of Athenian Laws by S.C. Todd. This dataset is authored by Rachel Milio (TALOS Ph.D. candidate, Department of Philology, University of Crete), under the supervision of Dr. Maria Papadopoulou (Department of Philology, University of Crete) and Prof. Christophe Roche (TALOS ERA Chair Professor, University of Crete).
