    The ERC project DASI is aimed at digitizing the overall epigraphic heritage of the ancient Arabian peninsula, in order to enhance knowledge of the pre-Islamic Arabian languages and cultures. This paper describes the challenges faced and the solutions proposed in the construction of a digital lexicon tool for under-resources languages such as those attested in the epigraphic documentation of pre-Islamic Arabia.

    The ERC-Advanced Grant project DASI has contributed to define and foster best practices  in the digitization of pre-Islamic Arabian inscriptions. As one of the early attempts at digitizing the epigraphic heritage related to Semitic languages, it has been facing specific challenges. This contribute focuses on challenges and solutions chosen to describe epigraphs and encode and represent their texts, according to standards. Moreover, a digital lexicon tool for linguistic study of under-resources languages is illustrated.

    DASI is an ERC-Advanced Grant project (n. 269774) aimed at digitizing the pre-Islamic inscriptions from Arabia and fostering best practices for the digitization of the epigraphic heritage related to Semitic languages. This paper describes the content model, the standards chosen, and exemplifies the vocabularies in view of a possible harmonization of data pertaining to the specific domain. The architecture of the system and the tools for encoding and retrieving textual content are also illustrated.

    6th EAGLE International Event "Off the beaten track. Epigraphy at the borders
    (Bari - Italy, September 24th to 25th, 2015).
    The ERC-Advanced Grant project DASI has contributed to define and foster best practices 
    in the digitization of pre-Islamic Arabian inscriptions. As one of the early attempts at digitizing the epigraphic heritage related to Semitic languages, it has been facing specific challenges. This contribute focuses on challenges and solutions chosen to describe epigraphs and encode and represent their texts, according to standards. Moreover, a digital lexicon tool for linguistic study of under-resources languages is illustrated.

    Rencontres Sabéennes 19, University of Pisa (June 18-20, 2015).
    The challenges faced in the computational treatment of the Semitic languages are well-known and only partially resolved. They are even more complex when under-resourced languages are concerned, as those attested in the epigraphic heritage of ancient Arabia. Indeed, it is the study of these languages that can profit from a computational approach.
    At the fourth year since its funding from the ERC, the project DASI– Digital Archive for the Study of pre-Islamic Arabian inscription has directed its efforts towards the enhancement of linguistic research, starting from those corpora of texts whose digitization is completed in the archive and whose linguistic features still deserve to be fully appreciated (Hadramitic, Minaic and Qatabanic). A tool has been created for the semantic and morphological annotation of the lexical items recorded in DASI. The paper describes the architecture and the functioning of this tool, with examples of the workflow.
