The recent availability of relatively inexpensive powerful computer systems opens up a host of new possibilities for many fields, among them e. g., research on Oriental languages. Due to industrious collecting activities a wealth of written material has been accumulated whose evaluation by traditional means might. given the available human resources. take decades or even centuries. Much of the necessary work is of clerical nature. and could well be automated. once the material is in machine-readable form. But the necessary software is usually not available, or not affordable, and will probably have to be developed from scratch, preferably in a cooperation between Orientalists and computer experts. Also the encoding of the data is a manual process that should have to be performed only once, and some prior consideration is advisable to avoid the necessity of duplication of effort.

As an example, imagine the building of a catalog for a large number of Arabic manuscripts. This could possibly be handled by using one of the available bilingual word processors. But the data format used will probably be private and not easily accessible, and since these tools are geared towards generating a printed version only, there is no easy way to include additional descriptive information which could otherwise be used for further evaluations. In the sequel we present some recommendations which we believe can be helpful, and report on first results of their application...
