Origin and Status of this Data

The content of pleiades.stoa.org is original work of the staff of the Ancient World Mapping Center and members of the Pleiades Community. It is built in part on information that was compiled by the American Philological Association's Classical Atlas Project (1988-2000), which was used during development with the permission of the APA.

We are currently in consultation with all our partners on the selection of a standard license for our content. Our goal is the freest possible reuse and remixing thereof. In the meantime, please adhere to the following guidelines in using Pleiades content:

Users are encouraged to link to, cite and quote useful elements of this content in other websites and publications. The KML and Atom+GeoRSS data feeds may be used in mashups and other online presentations with appropriate attribution. Please observe the same standards with respect to citation, quotation and plagiarism that you would apply to material from a printed book in the preparation of a college term paper or refereed journal article. If you have questions about a particular kind of reuse, or need permission for a publication, please contact us at maia@unc.edu.

Despite our best efforts, Pleiades content may contain errors or omissions. These should be assumed to be the responsibility of the project director, and not to reflect the quality and completeness of Classical Atlas Project data nor the opinions of the Atlas Project's scholarly compilers and editors. Pleiades will open to public participation in early 2008. At this time, it will be easy for users to highlight and correct errors and omissions, and to update obsolete information.
