Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae raw data / Datenveröffentlichungen

Raw data: Lemma lists, metadata thesauri, and Egyptian texts

Raw data of the Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae

In addition to the TLA itself, individual scholars or projects also use the digital raw data of the academy project for their respective research or digital applications. They receive these either on the basis of an official cooperation or they use the digital raw data publications that the project publishes on the Internet under a free Open Access license, usually CC BY-SA 4.0 Int. (Creative Commons, Attribution-ShareAlike).

The project repeatedly publishes selected raw data from the TLA. This includes:

Annotated texts
Metadata thesauri
Lemma lists

If your project uses raw data from the project, possibly without us knowing about it, we would be grateful if you could send an e-mail to the research coordinator of the project in Berlin.

Coptic lemma list

Comprehensive Coptic Dictionary in TEI XML (Ausschnitt) — CCL in TEI XML (Ausschnitt)

The Coptic lemma list was compiled in cooperation with the project "Database and Dictionary of Greek Loanwords in Coptic (DDGLC) ” (T.S. Richter, FU Berlin). It is currently still being developed separately in TEI XML format, but will also be integrated into the BTS in the medium term.
