New Mailing List - Digital Paleography and Ancient Document Analysis

D-Scribes List - Digital Paleography and Ancient Document Analysis

D-Scribes List is a non-commercial mailing list aiming to connect people interested in Digital Humanities, especially in the fields of Digital Palaeography (Computerized Classification, letter/sign shape comparison), Writer Identification and Ancient Document Analysis (layout, alignment, shape of the fragments, annotating tools). Its creation takes place in the four years SNSF Ambizione project in Basel University: "Reuniting fragments, identifying scribes and characterizing scripts: the Digital paleography of Greek and Coptic papyri".

Open Paleography Project

Open Paleography

The Homer Multitext blog is an appropriate forum to announce a new project growing directly out of experience with the Homer Multitext project, and developing technology that will contribute directly to future work on the HMT project.

For almost three years, the HMT project has been collecting in structured notebooks paleographic observations about the manuscripts we are editing.  With the announcement of the Open Paleography project, we aim to expand this work to a general crowd-sourced collection of paleographic observations.

The Open Paleography project differs from other projects with similar aims in its application of the CITE architecture.  Paleographic observations identify a physical artifact, a textual passage, and a region of interest on a documentary image using technology-independent, machine-actionable URNs.  In turn, each observation itself is identified with a CITE URN.  The openly licensed data set is exposed to the software and end-users in the following ways:

• because all the data sets are CITE Collections, they are available through the CITE Collections Service API
• because data are stored in Google Fusion Tables,  they are available both through Google's programmatic API and through the user interfaces to Google Fusion Tables

The Open Paleography project is currently testing and helping develop two generic applications that work with any CITE Collection. The first is a collaborative CITE Collection editor allowing authorized contributors to add to a CITE Collection from a Web browser.  The second is a general querying and viewing application for end users.  Both of these applications will find immediate application in the HMT project.
