Abstract

Many museums and libraries digitize their collections of historical manuscripts to preserve the historic documents and to facilitate their browsing. The collections are available as digital images and they need annotation to be accessible and exploitable. The annotations can be created manually, automatically or semi-automatically. Manual annotation is expensive and tedious; hence the reuse of users' experiences, by tracing their actions during the annotation process, helps other users to accomplish repetitive tasks in a semi-automatic manner. In this article we present a digital archive model and prototype of a collaborative system for the management of online ancient manuscript. The application offers an online annotation service, an assistant for semi-automatic annotation, and a tracing system that saves traces of important actions in order to reuse them in a recommender system afterward.
