The database created by Projet Volterra I was one of three such sets of ancient data used as part of the sixth-month LaQuAT (Linking and Querying Ancient Texts) project, a collaboration between the Centre for e-Research, King's College, London and the EPCC, University of Edinburgh, which ran from October 2008 to March 2009.

A demonstration of the results is available.
