This paper considers what we can gain from enhancing TEI-encoded texts with RDF. We consider the use of Open Annotation Collaboration (OAC) annotations as part of our work for the future. To illustrate our approach, we take as a case study the Sharing Ancient Wisdoms (SAWS) project, which explores and analyses the tradition of wisdom literatures in ancient Greek, Arabic and other languages. It aims to publish its texts digitally in a manner that enables linking and comparisons within and between anthologies, their source texts, and the texts that draw upon them.
