“…Most of the above-mentioned projects (except the Epigraphica Europea, which is essentially a searchable image databank featuring some metadata) are based on the Leiden encoding system 4 . However, since the introduction of the EpiDoc initiative in the late 1990s [4,24], several EpiDoc based epigraphic projects have been launched, perhaps most notably the Vindolanda Tablets Online 5 and the Inscriptions of Aphrodisias (IAph2007) [25,26] or lately for instance the Cretan Institutional Inscriptions [27]. More or less obvious advantages of the system such as controlled vocabularies 6 , metadata and a wide variety of possibilities for encoding semantically rich information -e.g.…”

Relying on the annotation scheme proposed by Álvarez-Mellado et al. [1], this paper attempts to refine the proposed model for the annotation of named entities and adapt it to the needs of (medieval and early modern) epigraphy, exemplified in this article by the case of the MEMIS corpus, which brings together medieval and early modern inscriptions from the area of present-day Slovenia. Digital humanities (DH) tools and protocols provide us with ways to access and process elements of historical evidence on epigraphic monuments as documents: In addition to actual events, they include, in particular, names of persons and places. Named Entity Recognition (NER) is therefore of paramount importance for the extraction of biographical, prosopographical, etc. data. Building on the previous work of DH researchers in the field of encoding standards for humanities texts, this paper focuses on the previously unexplored medieval and early modern inscriptions in the northern Istrian (now Slovenian) towns of the former Republic of Venice.

This paper discusses the challenges addressed in the digital scholarly encoding of the fragmentary texts of the languages of Ancient Italy according to the TEI/EpiDoc Guidelines in XML format. It describes the solutions and customisations that have been adopted for dealing with the peculiarities of our epigraphical documentation and with the formalisation of epigraphical information deemed interesting for data retrieval in a historical linguistic perspective. The making of a digital corpus consisting of new critical editions of selected inscriptions is a work carried out in the context of the project ”Languages and Cultures of Ancient Italy. Historical Linguistics and Digital Models”, which aims to investigate the languages of Ancient Italy by combining the traditional methods, proper to historical linguistics, with methods and technology proper to the digital humanities and computational lexicography. More specifically, the purpose of the project is to create a set of interrelated digital language resources which comprise: 1) a digital corpus of texts editions; 2) a computational lexicon compliant with the Web Semantic requirements; 3) a relevant bibliographic reference dataset encoded according to the FRBRoo/LRMoo specifications. Additionally, selected textual data and scientific interpretations will be encoded using CIDOC CRM and its extensions, namely CRMtex and CRMinf. The present contribution thus tackles one of the main aspects of the project, and proposes significant innovations in the encoding of critical editions for epigraphic texts of fragmentary languages, which will hopefully foster future interoperability and integration with other external datasets, a paramount concern of the project.
