Interactive Tools and Tasks for the Hebrew Bible
Résumé
Computer-aided processing of intertextuality offers new promising tools for the visualization of the sources and for the performance of tasks that would barely be possible to do without a digital solution. This contribution explores how the corpus of the Hebrew Bible created and maintained by the Eep Talstra Center for Bible and Computer can support new ways in which we can learn from our ancient texts as modern knowledge workers. It first describes how the corpus was used for the development of Bible Online Learner as a persuasive technology to enhance language learning with, in, and around a database that drives interactive tasks for learners. The achievements obtained through this project so far are very promising. Interactive corpus-technology also has an important bearing on the task of textual criticism as an increasingly specialized area of research that depends on the availability of digital resources. Commercial solutions developed by software companies offer advanced digital scholarly resources from the German Bible Society as a useful alternative to often inaccessible and expensive print versions. Corpus-driven learning and new digital resources will also allow scholars to do new academic tasks in textual criticism and interpretation, and we already now see promising tools for text categorization, analysis of translation shifts, and interpretation emerge as the potential models for the future. The main goal in the future will be to provide easier and more affordable global access for these new tools.
