Abstract

Due to technical constrains of the past, metadata in languages written with non-Latin scripts have frequently been entered using various systems of transcription. While this transcription is essential for data curators who may not be familiar with the source script, it is often an encumbrance for researchers in discovery and retrieval. Until 2011 the Judaica collection in Hebrew and Yiddish of the University Library J. C. Senckenberg were catalogued with transcription only. The aim of this work is to develop an open-source system to aid in the automatic conversion of Hebrew transcription back into Hebrew script, using a multi-faceted approach.
