Abstract (AI)
It is incumbent upon libraries holding Arabic manuscripts to provide access to digitized surrogates of their holdings. Users require access both by authority list and by content. Thus, an exhaustive cataloguing method is essential. The TEI P5 Manuscript Description module is a suitable tool for manuscript cataloguing, but it lacks certain features that would allow for exhaustive description of ancient Arabic manuscripts. In this article we make several suggestions that would augment the TEI P5 Manuscript Description module allowing for a richer and more accurate description and cataloging of ancient Arabic manuscripts.
Key Findings
1
Enhanced cataloguing is intended to improve access to digitized Arabic manuscript surrogates through both authority-based and content-based discovery.
2
The TEI P5 Manuscript Description module is suitable for cataloguing Arabic manuscripts but lacks features needed for exhaustive description.
3
The adaptation responds to libraries’ need for comprehensive metadata describing digitized holdings of ancient Arabic manuscripts.
4
The proposed adaptation augments TEI P5 to support richer and more accurate cataloguing of ancient Arabic manuscripts.
