vlt Launches "reproduce": A New Tool Challenging the Limits of Package Provenance
vlt's new "reproduce" tool verifies npm packages against their source code, outperforming traditional provenance adoption in the JavaScript ecosystem.
This programme extracts the output of a search query from the [Epigraphik-Datenbank Clauss / Slaby (EDCS)](http://www.manfredclauss.de/) in a reproducible manner and saves it as a TSV file. The output can be also plotted to a map of the Roman Empire, along with the system of Roman Provinces, roads, and cities.
The Lat-Epig inteface allows you to query the EDCS and save the search result in a TSV (tab separated value) file and plot the results on a map of the Roman Empire without any prior knowledge of programming.

Ballsun-Stanton B., Heřmánková P., Laurence R. Lat Epig (version 2.0). GitHub. URL: https://github.com/mqAncientHistory/Lat-Epig/ DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5211341
To launch Lat-Epig on myBinder (as Voila application) click on the following icon
No need for powerful computer, as the tool runs on external servers with a single click. This option is ideal if you want to test the tool or do small searches (with up to 1000 results). Searches with more than 1000+ results will still run, however, the interactive map may not be created. For creation of interactive maps based on large searches we recommend to use some of the other options (see below).
The Epigraphik-Datenbank Clauss / Slaby (EDCS) is a digital collection of more than 500,000 Latin inscriptions, created by Prof. Manfred Clauss, Anne Kolb, Wolfgang A. Slaby, Barbara Woitas, and hosted by the Universitat Zurich and Katolische Universitat Eichstat-Ingoldstadt.

When it starts, click the fast-forward button, or choose the Kernel menu and choose Restart & Run All
.
This option should be used for testing, smaller searches, or demonstration of the Lat Epig. Large searches may take long and may not render properly (as the memory on the myBinder is limited). If you need to perform large seraches, we recommend using the Docker option.
docker run hello-world
Hello from Docker! This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
docker run -p 8888:8888 denubis/lat-epig-scraper:main
http://localhost:8888/voila/render/EpigraphyScraper.ipynb
and you should see the Lat Epig interface.Note: If your computer is low on memory, we recommend using Firefox instead of Chrome. If you have troubles starting Docker, close Chrome, and all non-essential software and try again with Firefox browser.
We recommend using Ubuntu 18.04+. For testing or development purposes mainly.
