边沁抄本正在测试将手稿转录工作外包给公众的可行性。伦敦大学图书馆服务中心拥有60,000对开本的哲学家和法学家杰里米·边沁(Jeremy Bentham，1748-1832)的手稿。转录边沁将把12,500本边沁对开本数字化，并通过基于维基的界面，允许志愿者转录人员暂时拥有手稿图像，并创建TEI编码的转录文本，供伦敦大学学院的专家最终批准。批准的成绩单将与手稿图像一起存储和保存在伦敦大学学院的公共数字收藏库中。该项目创新地利用了传统的图书馆资料。它将刺激公众参与伦敦大学学院的学术档案收藏以及古文字学和手稿转录的挑战；它将提高Jeremy Bentham的工作和思想的知名度；它将创建新的数字资源，供专业研究人员未来使用。在项目接近尾声时，将向其他项目和服务提供转录工具。这篇论文是基于主要作者在2010年丹麦奥胡斯举行的LIBER第39届年会上的一次演讲。
Transcribe Bentham is testing the feasibility of outsourcing the work of manuscript transcription to members of the public. UCL Library Services holds 60,000 folios of manuscripts of the philosopher and jurist Jeremy Bentham (1748–1832). Transcribe Bentham will digitise 12,500 Bentham folios, and, through a wiki-based interface, allow volunteer transcribers to take temporary ownership of manuscript images and to create TEI-encoded transcription text for final approval by UCL experts. Approved transcripts will be stored and preserved, with the manuscript images, in UCL’s public Digital Collections repository. The project makes innovative use of traditional library material. It will stimulate public engagement with UCL’s scholarly archive collections and the challenges of palaeography and manuscript transcription; it will raise the profile of the work and thought of Jeremy Bentham; and it will create new digital resources for future use by professional researchers. Towards the end of the project, the transcription tool will be made available to other projects and services. This paper is based on a presentation given by the lead author at LIBER’s 39th Annual General Conference in Aarhus, Denmark, 2010.
