Towards Creating A Best Practice Digital Processing Pipeline For Cuneiform Languages
Utrecht, Netherlands, (Jul 12, 2019)Abstract
This publication proposes a best practice digital processing pipeline for cuneiform languages. The pipeline includes the following steps: 1. Annotation of cuneiform tablet 3D scans, 2. Creation of transliterations in ATF and using PaleoCodage to capture cuneiform character variants, 3. Conversion and then annotation of transliterations using TEI (structurally, semantically and liguistically), 4. Creation of semantic dictionaries, 5. Export of the results in various formats to support the needs of many research communities. This poster shows how such a pipeline can be realized using a traditional Git versioning system and a variety of web-based tools assisting in the annotation and export.
