The document discusses participatory philology and the Open Philology Project. The goals of the project are to 1) advance the role of historical language texts in human intellectual life globally by initially focusing on Greco-Roman culture and Classical Greek and Latin, and 2) support an open philology that can support dialogue among civilizations. The project aims to engage citizens and students to help analyze more text than possible alone through tasks like transcription, translation, and annotation. It also localizes resources and allows for dynamic, customized syllabi. Games and digital editions further encourage contribution to building knowledge. The resulting data benefits fields like NLP, education, and the humanities.
