CROSSING EXPERIENCES IN DIGITAL EPIGRAPHY - ANN...

Although a relevant number of projects digitizing inscriptions are under development or have
been recently accomplished  Digital Epigraphy is not yet considered to be a proper discipline
and there are still no regular occasions to meet and discuss. By collecting contributions on
nineteen projects - very diversified for geographic and chronological context  for script and
language  and for typology of digital output - this volume intends to point out the
methodological issues which are specific to the application of information technologies to
epigraphy.The first part of the volume is focused on data modelling and encoding  which are
conditioned by the specific features of different scripts and languages  and deeply influence
the possibility to perform searches on texts and the approach to the lexicographic study of
such under-resourced languages. The second part of the volume is dedicated to the initiatives
aimed at fostering aggregation  dissemination and the reuse of epigraphicmaterials  and to
discuss issues of interoperability.The common theme of the volume is the relationship between
the compliance with the theoretic tools and the methodologies developed by each different
tradition of studies  and  on the other side  the necessity of adopting a common framework in
order to produce commensurable and shareable results. The final question is whether the
computational approach is changing the way epigraphy is studied  to the extent of renovating
the discipline on the basis of new  unexplored questions.
