Die Möglichkeiten der automatischen Textergänzung auf Papyri

Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the current work status of the eAQUA subproject for Papyrology. The text divides into three sections, corresponding to the originally target of the subproject: the classification of papyri, the textcompletion and the identification of unknown literary fragments. Presented in more detail is particularly the tool to the textcompletion. The user will be made familiar with the various procedures and the different ways in terms of search strategies. Text-Mining can be of great help here, since it puts together the pieces and finds parallel texts. Many documentary papyri and inscriptions share certain formulas, structures of the text, and keywords, which reveal them as typical public records. Therefore, on the basis of known parallels, they can be completed.
