<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Snible, post: 4112366, member: 82322&quot;]Internally, the ANS database includes a powerful web query language, SPARQL.&nbsp; The documentation makes it look fantastic: <a href="http://nomisma.org/documentation/sparql" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://nomisma.org/documentation/sparql" rel="nofollow">http://nomisma.org/documentation/sparql</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I learned a bit of SPARQL but unfortunately the ANS does not expose a SPARQL query endpoint so it is not possible to run custom queries.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Nomisma.org ontology is rich enough to support the museum community.&nbsp; I expect it is goo enough for the kinds of data you host.</p><p><br /></p><p>The ANS software is open source and can be downloaded from <a href="https://github.com/ewg118/numishare" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://github.com/ewg118/numishare" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ewg118/numishare</a> .&nbsp; I wasn&#039;t able to get it working the one afternoon I tried several years ago.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have enough numismatic data to make it worthwhile to host my own content site.&nbsp; I do have the time and skills to put together front-ends, but no public endpoints to play with.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding front-ends, the feature I want is integration with Wiki software so that users can collaborate on adding comments.&nbsp; Even simple comments would be an improvement.&nbsp; Zeno.ru does comments, as does ForgeryNetwork.com.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t found Greek and Roman coin sites that allow comments on individual coins.&nbsp; AsiaMinorCoins.com supports comments, but only for logged in users, and there has never been public sign up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
