Towards a data model for (inter)textual relationships. Connecting Ancient Egyptian texts and understanding scribal practices
Résumé
[en] The goal of this lecture is theory-oriented: we propose a conceptual data model that allows us to deal with complex textual relationships. It is empirically grounded in our experience of digital annotation of Ancient Egyptian texts. This paper is initially born out of the practical need of annotating and linking together hundreds of textual witnesses in the framework of the Ramses project (Polis et al. 2013; Polis & Winand 2013), the aim of which is to build and publish online (http://ramses.ulg.ac.be) the first richly annotated corpus of Late Egyptian texts (c. 1350-900 BCE).
