MAP syntax diagrams

MAP syntax diagrams is an online R Shiny application for studying Ancient divine onomastic sequences. It uses the format defined by the “Mapping Ancient Polytheisms” (MAP) project to: 1) represent sequences and 2) describe semantic relationships between the parts of these sequences (called “elements” in the MAP terminology). The focus is on the structure of the sequences, not their content. These structures are modelled as graphs (a mathematical object composed by a set of nodes and a set of edges), so that they can be visualised, characterised, and compared using quantitative measurements.

MAP syntax diagrams is an R Shiny application to study Ancient divine onomastic sequences. It relies on the format used in the framework of the “Mapping Ancient Polytheisms” project to represent these sequences and describe the semantic relationships between their elements (names of gods, qualifications, etc.). The application allows to model the sequences as graphs, visualised them, characterise and compare them using several metrics.
