A LexO-Server Use Case: Languages and Cultures of Ancient Italy

Purpose: This paper presents a set of REST services called a LexO-server (https://github.com/andreabellandi/LexO-) for the management of lexical resources modeled as the OntoLex-Lemon model. This comes as a software backend, providing data access and manipulation to frontend developers, and will be exemplified through the Languages and Cultures of Ancient Italy CLARINIT related project. This is a use case where the creation and edition of an integrated system of LRs for ancient fragmentary languages will be shown in compliance with current digital humanities and Linked Open Data principles. Other relevant use cases will be mentioned for demonstrating the versatility of these services and how they can be easily integrated within more complex systems and/or interact with other independent back-ends.
