Well done:<br \/>\n&#8220;Ten years ago today, a private American collector purchased the<br \/>\nArchimedes Palimpsest. Since that time he has guided and funded the<br \/>\nproject to conserve, image, and study the manuscript. After ten years of<br \/>\nwork, involving the expertise and goodwill of an extraordinary number of<br \/>\npeople working around the world, the Archimedes Palimpsest Project has<br \/>\nreleased its data. It is a historic dataset, revealing new texts from<br \/>\nthe ancient world. It  is an integrated product, weaving registered<br \/>\nimages in many wavebands of light with XML transcriptions of the<br \/>\nArchimedes and Hyperides texts that are spatially mapped to those<br \/>\nimages.  It has pushed boundaries for the imaging of documents, and<br \/>\nrelied almost exclusively on current international standards.  We hope<br \/>\nthat this dataset will be a persistent digital resource for the decades<br \/>\nto come.  We also hope it will be helpful as an example for others who<br \/>\nare conducting similar work. It published under a Creative Commons 3.0<br \/>\nattribution license, to ensure ease of access and the potential for<br \/>\nwidespread use.  A complete facsimile of the revealed palimpsested texts<br \/>\nis available on Googlebooks as \u00b3The Archimedes Palimpsest\u00b2.
