Re: [dm-l] palaeography and computing

Arianna:

"can be described" meant "can be described using words and images," not "can be described using special-purpose tags." The thing that would be most helpful, actually, is a universally accepted "controlled vocabulary" for paleographic description, either verbal or in terms of graphical metrics (or ideally both), on which we could build descriptive structures in XML or whatever. I don't think paleographers are close to having that.

So, when you say "where each glyph used in the manuscript including ligatures or junctures (sorted by hand and script) can be described, linked to a typical image or more and a transcription and transliteration"

what do you mean for "can be described"?
