'A Virtual Research Environment for the Study of Documents and
Manuscripts'
The scholar interpreting an ancient documentary text has a broad range
of relevant electronic tools available; but the interaction is largely
in one direction and the experience is fragmented by the dispersal of
the electronic resources. Decipherment and transcription are scholarly
activities that naturally benefit from shared visualisation and
multiple perspectives, but the potential of ICT to mediate
collaborative investigation has yet to be fully exploited. A VRE for
the Study of Documents and Manuscripts is a two-year JISC funded
project designed to explore these challenges through the construction
of an integrated collaborative environment for the study of ancient
documentary artefacts.
