PNM is now Persons and Names of the Middle Kingdom and early New Kingdom. In version 5, 13000 persons with their names & titles from the 18th Dynasty before Amenhotep IV are added to existing Middle Kingdom dataset (adding up to a total of 53198 persons) https://t.co/wDOHbVK28A

My last year's book Egyptian Name Scarabs from the 12th to the 15th Dynasty is now available in open access https://t.co/3pMYFrfOJc

@Egy_Linguistics We would be very glad to see you again!

Tobias Konrad and I prepared a Bibliography of Egyptological databases and datasets to give an overview of publicly available databases in Egyptology(past and present).Description: https://t.co/aRLdKxveWm Library: https://t.co/H9ODEp5VmC Corrections/additions highly appreciated

@EgyptMcr @uomsalcstudents @McrMuseum Well, I've also seen my *actual* name written in hieroglyphs 😉

@jmmarreiros @TheLeakeyFndtn @ICArEHB @paleomonrepos @leizarchaeology Congratulations!

How do you choose a colour space for long-term archiving of digital photos? sRGB or Adobe RGB? Or something else? Lots of best practice tips for file formats & metadata, but almost none for the colour space (U.S. National Archives did recommend Adobe RGB 1998 for back in 2004).

@w_carruthers Did you check the "For you"/"Following" switch at the top of the page?

It aims to deal with different varieties of Unicode (including IFAO Unicode) and legacy fonts Transliteration, Umschrift_TTn, and Trlit_CG Times as well as different transliteration conventions such as Wb., Hannig, Schenkel

[A. Ilin-Tomich @ailintom]

Transliteration still poses difficulties to database projects in #Egyptology. Unicode and legacy encoding, flavours of Unicode, diverging conventions complicate matching data across DBs. And DBs can’t natively sort transliteration alphabetically. We need dedicated libraries. 🧵

[A. Ilin-Tomich @ailintom]

While matching names in my PNM DB with Anne Herzberg-Beiersdorf's Prosopographia Memphitica, I drafted a Python library https://t.co/Gsqhm3aAWp to standardise translit strings, produce false-coded strings that are comparable, sortable and storable in DBs & exportable to Unicode.

[A. Ilin-Tomich @ailintom]

@oraecproject I do not know the usage figures of my converter, because tracking is disabled on my website.

[A. Ilin-Tomich @ailintom]

Besides, custom keyboard layouts for Windows for entering Egyptian transliteration in Unicode were updated to support the new sign ï/Ï used in the Leiden Unified system, see https://t.co/fSWe3CGB5p

[A. Ilin-Tomich @ailintom]

The Transliteration to Unicode Converter was updated to support the 2023 version of Trlit_CG Times non-Unicode font with the new sign ï used in the Leiden Unified Transliteration (see OEB webpage). https://t.co/4ikDECECqF

A rather unexpected result of the magnificent @ICE2023Leiden, which finished yesterday, was an award for a poster we presented with @VBoschloos — all the more surprising as it was the first physical poster I've ever presented (@VBoschloos has more experience of this sort though)

[Vanessa Boschloos @VBoschloos]

Do you know what to do with your #scarab finds? Do you know how to unlock the full potential of these small finds? poster at #ice2023 Leiden with Alexander Ilin-Tomich

The latter tool is courtesy of @situxxx and @fthierygeo Here's a short example with links https://t.co/hCY7sOKqap

PNM dataset now includes geographical coordinates for visualisations based on SPARQL endpoint https://t.co/NUzO9J59vY
E.g.,one can put Middle Kingdom (white) and Second Intermediate Period (green) private-name scarabs on a map using QGIS and SPARQL-plugin SPARQLing Unicorn.
