Automatic disambiguation of Latin abbreviations in early modern texts for humanities digital libraries. Rydberg-Cox, J. A. In Proc. of the 3rd ACM/IEEE-CS Joint Conf. on Digital libraries, pages 372--373, 2003. abstract bibtex 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.
