Abstract

The paper introduces multi-domain database for documentation of Prague's collection of cuneiform tablets. The complexity of documentation of the individual tablets is the most important innovation the database represents. It allows scholars to study the tablets in previously unachievable complexity of relations and context. Open formats and strict quality of data standards support reasonable hope of avoiding 'digital obsolescence' frequently observed in digitization projects.
