The Manuel de Codage encoding of hieroglyphs impedes development of corpora
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we discuss the encoding of hieroglyphic text and argue that the set of requirements for an encoding scheme depend on the intended application. Our main claim is that if this application is the development of text corpora with long lifespans and diversity of use, then encoding schemes within the tradition of the Manuel de Codage are unsuitable.

متن کاملOn the Influence of the State Encoding on OBDD-Representations of Finite State Machines
Ordered binaxy décision diagrams are an important data structure for the représentation of Boolean functions. Typically, the underlying variable ordering is used as an optimization parameter. When finite state machines are represented by OBDDs the state encoding can be used as an additional optimization parameter. In this paper, we analyze the influence of the state encoding on the OBDD-represe...
متن کاملOCR of handwritten transcriptions of Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic text

Presented is a proof-of-concept tool that was designed to digitize texts of Urkunden IV in the hand-writing of Kurt Sethe. It automatically recognizes signs and prod...
