I am looking for examples of digital humanities projects that examine non-canonical figures (individuals or small groups of people). I will use the information as context for a digital humanities project that I am working on.
Examples of projects that examine non-canonical figures?

MemberWhat do you mean by non-canonical? There is a fairly large number of prosopographical projects that are focused on people connected by a common thread, for example:
Syriac (http://syriaca.org/)
Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England (http://www.pase.ac.uk/index.html)
Roman Republican people (http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2012-07mr.html)I'm also vaguely aware of projects to network people related to cuneiform or ancient papyri. All of these projects involve anonymous or otherwise barely-known people who are only attributed by scant fragments of evidence.
Linked data methodologies are fundamental in most or all of these projects.
