- 3. Discover the world at Leiden University What is Abnormal Hieratic? • A script used in Egypt in the 7th century BCE • Used mostly for contracts and financial statements • Written on papyri • Hieratic: cursive derivative of Egyptian hieroglyphs • Abnormal: harder to read than 'normal' Hieratic • "Abnormal hieratic is actually something that you can learn. And learn to love." – Koen Donker van Heel
- 4. Discover the world at Leiden University Why a "Global Portal" for AH? • Growing interest in studying Abnormal Hieratic, but not enough human resources to teach • (Crash) courses and books only provide limited access to original texts and scripts • Access to digitised AH papyri is still rare; we want to show possibilities • Proof of concept for a 'community of source materials', envisioned by the Faculty of Humanities

- 18. Discover the world at Leiden University Components • WordPress • Plugins, theme • Simple Annotation Server • Indexing script • Elasticsearch • Search script
- 19. Discover the world at Leiden University Open issues • Modelling annotations - HTML ‘blob’ or something more structured? - Parallel transcriptions and translations with TEI? • Authentication for annotations - Access control is still missing - And so is provenance • Zooming in on search results - Using the Mirador API? Or Content Search? • Infrastructure administration - IT Shared Service Centre is more strict in what they install than I am - We're finally about to be reachable from the Internet...
- 20. Discover the world at Leiden University Next steps • Build a Namenbuch (book of names) and dictionary • Add community functionality - Including discussion about annotations • Explore other platforms - Omeka S / Madoc looks great - Craft CMS

Hinweis der Redaktion
- However OS is more than a list of various movements. It is about opening up the research process, opening up your work from the start of your research project to the final conclusions and beyond. This ‘definition’ by the way is a citation of a closed book chapter. More and more research funders, policy makers and institution require open science or FAIR data. EU: starting 2020 ‘open access’ and FAIR data are default. Also journals more and more have a Data Availability Policy (DAP): Authors must make all data publicly available, without restriction, immediately upon publication of the article.” For example PLoS and Nature. Research Life Cycle Univ. California Irivine https://www.lib.uci.edu/dss At its core, Open Science aims at: “increasing research quality, boosting collaboration, speeding up the research process, making the assessment of research more transparent, promoting public access to scientific results, as well as introducing more people to academic research”.

- Leiden University firmly believes in the importance of (fundamental) research that is driven by curiosity. Quality and excellence are pivotal here. The University has almost 600 professors (around 500 professors and 90 professors by special appointment, who have a part-time position). 23.5 per cent of our professors are female. This is not yet in balance, but compared with other Dutch universities we are doing well. Leiden is actively engaged in raising this percentage and aims to appoint an increasing number of excellent women scientists. Researchers are given the freedom and the resources to excel, and they publish more than 5,700 academic and scientific articles every year. The share of Leiden researchers in the most cited publications every year is relatively high and is above the world average. Scientists from Leiden University score highly in acquiring person-related subsidies and awards, nationally (NWO) and internationally (ERC). Around 400 young researchers are awarded a doctorate every year in Leiden. The University has state-of-the-art research facilities including electron microscopes (NeCEN) and a 7 Tesla MRI scanner. The Leiden University Libraries hold unique (Western and Oriental) collections that are used extensively by Leiden researchers. These collections attract scholars from all parts of the world.
