NUDS and collection IDs
Use ANS identifiers for object pages and structured NUDS/XML, then connect record fields to chronology, inscriptions, materials, departments, and physical measurements.
A working sketch for bringing the American Numismatic Society's MANTIS collection into archAIology: object records, mint geographies, iconography, inscriptions, authorities, hoards, and linked-data graph trails through Nomisma and Pelagios.
The attached VoID files describe the ANS search endpoint as a MANTIS dataset published with an Open Database License. The same collection can be read as human-facing search results, Atom/RSS feeds, individual NUDS/XML records, RDF/XML, JSON-LD, Turtle, KML, geoJSON, Nomisma RDF dumps, and Pelagios annotations.
Use ANS identifiers for object pages and structured NUDS/XML, then connect record fields to chronology, inscriptions, materials, departments, and physical measurements.
Normalize mints, authorities, denominations, materials, hoards, and types against stable numismatic URIs so coins can be compared across collections.
Use place annotations to align coins with gazetteers and map layers: mint, findspot, subject place, issuing region, and movement through collections.
Enter a keyword and open MANTIS results directly. This keeps archAIology as the interpretive layer while ANS remains the source of record.
Render ANS mint geoJSON beside Pleiades and ToposText layers already used in the site.
Stack rulers, civic authorities, dynasties, and coin types into a sortable chronological band.
Cluster obverse and reverse types by deity, animal, object, inscription, and political message.
Let selected objects export as CSV, JSON-LD starter sets, or SPARQL-friendly URI lists.
