Dear Sebastian and all,
maybe we can contribute something to the discussion with what we are
doing with the Hellespont Project. There we work with the TEI standard
in order to link from the text of the ancient author Thucydides to
archaeological entities of the Arachne database, using Arachne URIs.
The TEI files (transformed with XSLT) are the basis for further
visualisation of the text:
http://hellespont.dainst.org/gapvis/#book/1/read/89/
Furthermore, we are implementing at the moment a Hellespont Linked
Data interface where almost the whole Arachne database (beside others)
is available as RDF XML following the CIDOC CRM ontology.
What is still missing (regarding the question of TEI and Linked Data)
is the connection between our Linked Data RDF and the Arachne URIs
integrated in the TEI annotation of the text. Right now RDF data is
not available with the Arachne URIs themselves, but hopefully
development in this area will bridge the data sooner or later.
Is this interesting for you?
You can find all our data for download here:

Any comments are welcome!
Greetings from Cologne
Karen and Agnes.
