Egyptologists use encoding to maintain the information on the signs and their places relative to each other when preparing hieroglyphic texts for publication in printed form. A sign can be next to, above, or over another in a hieroglyphic text, and two or more signs can be nested. In order to use digital methods, the texts to be examined must be in machine-readable form, but the lack of such text corpora hinders the digital study of ancient Egyptian texts. gly and containing encoded hieroglyphic text.Ībstract = "With the help of data science, researchers in the humanities can study large amounts of data at once and find regularities that they might not otherwise detect. The tool is openly available and can be used for files with the extension. This paper introduces Gly2Mdc version 1.0, which extracts and cleans the encoding from the binary file.
The aim is to publish annotated texts in a structured form, and a tool is being built to turn the binary format files produced in JSesh into machine-readable form. Ancient Egyptian texts are encoded by hand in JSesh, an open-source hieroglyphic editor. This paper aims to present the first steps towards this goal.
To increase the number of machine-readable hieroglyphic texts, the plan is to develop a workflow that uses automatic transliteration. The encoding uses letter-number combinations from the Gardiner list, a standard reference list for Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
