The proposed project is a collaboration of Dead Sea Scrolls scholars with computer scientists for the digitalization of the Dead Sea Scrolls (henceforth: DSS). This is to be achieved by enhancing and linking the robust databases administered by the participating institutions, by developing advanced digital tools for linking texts and images, and by developing new end-user applications for the publication of critical digital editions.The main aims of the project are:(1) Creating a standardized environment for collaborative production of Scrolls editions, based on a robust interlinked dynamic database of texts, images and annotations. This environment will be mediated to the end user by means of a groundbreaking interface for textual editions, supplying flexible user-defined views of the edition.(2) Producing several exemplary editions utilizing and testing this environment. These will serve the scholarly community in producing other editions.(3) Enhancing the usability of the huge repository of spectral images in the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), by means of a suite of algorithmic tools. These tools will enable mining data from the images and discovering connections between images and/or texts.(4) Enhancing the Göttingen Qumran-Wörterbuch database, a powerful lexical database collected over the past 12 years, by means of various innovative query mechanisms and statistical data evaluation tools for extracting information from it.The main outcome of the suggested project will be in the form of the following products:a. An enhanced hands-on workspace for scholars examining fragments, inspired by the successful similar environment in the Cairo Genizah (Friedberg) Website. This environment will be hosted in the IAA website. It will feature advanced tools for clustering fragments, suggesting joins and jigsaw-puzzling them, as well as monitoring the material reconstructions of scrolls. The environment will also offer paleographic tools and an alignment tool connecting text and image.b. A standardized environment for collaborative production and presentation of DSS editions, which will allow the reader not only access to the 'text' of a given composition, but also access to its distinct copies, to high-res images of the fragments (by means of API linking to the IAA website), to dictionary entries and to parallel texts.c. New editions of the following scrolls and compositions: Damascus Document (Göttingen); The Book of Samuel (Göttingen); Serekh Ha'Edah (Haifa); 4QInstruction (Haifa); Serekh HaYahad (Haifa in collaboration with Paris).d. An inventory collecting and recording all variants of biblical texts in the DSS according to a multi-dimensional classification scheme. Scholars will be able to access this database by searching a given word and/or searching for any of the multiple elements recorded in the system.

拟议的项目是死海古卷学者与计算机科学家为死海古卷(以下简称：DSS)的数字化而合作的项目。该项目的主要目标是：(1)以强大的相互关联的动态文本、图像和注释数据库为基础，为合作制作卷轴版本创造一个标准化的环境。这种环境将通过文本版本的突破性界面传递给最终用户，提供灵活的用户定义的版本视图。(2)利用和测试这种环境制作几个示范版本。这些将服务于学术界制作其他版本。(3)通过一套算法工具，提高以色列文物局(IAA)庞大的光谱图像库的可用性。这些工具将能够从图像中挖掘数据，并发现图像和/或文本之间的联系。(4)通过各种创新的查询机制和用于提取信息的统计数据评估工具，加强Göttingen Qumran-Wörterbuch数据库，这是过去12年收集的一个强大的词汇数据库。建议项目的主要成果将是以下产品：a.受开罗Genizah(Friedberg)网站成功的类似环境的启发，为研究碎片的学者提供改进的动手工作空间。这一环境将在IAA的网站上托管。它将以先进的工具为特色，用于聚集碎片，建议连接和拼图-让它们感到困惑，以及监控卷轴的材料重建。该环境还将提供古地理工具和连接文本和图像的对齐工具。为合作制作和提供决策支持系统版本提供标准化环境，这将使读者不仅可以查阅某一特定作品的“文本”，而且还可以查阅其不同的副本、片段的高分辨率图像(通过与IAA网站的API链接)、词典条目和平行文本。以下卷轴和作品的新版：大马士革文件(Göttingen)；《塞缪尔经》(Göttingen)；Serekh Ha‘Edah(Haifa)；4Q指令(Haifa)；Serekh HaYahad(与巴黎合作)。根据多维分类方案收集和记录决策支持系统中圣经文本的所有变体的清单。学者将能够通过搜索一个给定的词和/或搜索系统中记录的多个要素中的任何一个来访问该数据库。
