Abstract
A wide variety of digital resources have been created by researchers in the Classics. These tend to focus on specific topics that reflect the interests of their creators; nevertheless they are of utility for a much broader range of research, and would be more so if they could be linked up in a way that allowed them to be explored as a single data landscape. However, while the resources may be reusable, the variety of data representations and formats used militates against such an integrated view. We describe two case studies that address this issue of interoperability by creating virtual resources that are independent of the underlying data structures and storage systems, thus allowing heterogeneous resources to be treated in a common fashion while respecting the integrity of the existing data representations.
