Third ACM/IEEE-CS Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL'03) Automatic Disambiguation of Latin Abbreviations in Early Modern Texts for Humanities Digital Libraries Houston, Texas USA May 27-May 31 ISBN: 0-7695-1939-3
Early modern books written in Latin contain many abbreviations of common words that are derived from earlier manuscript practice. While these abbreviations are usually easily deciphered by a reader well-versed in Latin, they pose technical problems for full text digitization: they are difficult to OCR or have typed and — if they are not expanded correctly — they limit the effectiveness of information retrieval and reading support tools in the digital library. In this paper, I will describe a method for the automatic expansion and disambiguation of these abbreviations.
