<p>The Image, Text, Interpretation: <span class="ubernym uttAbbreviation"><abbr class="uttAbbreviation">e-Science</abbr></span>, Technology and Documents project (also known as eSAD: <span class="ubernym uttAbbreviation"><abbr class="uttAbbreviation">e-Science</abbr></span> and Ancient Documents) aims to use computing technologies to aid experts in reading ancient documents in their complex task. The four year project, being undertaken at the University of Oxford with input from University College London, is funded under the <a href="http://www.ahrcict.rdg.ac.uk/activities/e-science/awards_2007.htm">AHRC-EPSRC-JISC Arts and Humanities e-Science Initiative</a>, and will run until the end of 2011. </p><p>The project will work on creating tools which can aid the reading of damaged texts like the <a href="http://vindolanda.csad.ox.ac.uk/">stilus tablets</a> from <a href="http://www.vindolanda.com/">Vindolanda</a>. Furthermore, the project will explore how an Interpretation Support System (ISS) can be used in the day-to-day reading of ancient documents and keep track of how the documents are interpreted and read. A combination of image processing tools and an ontology based support system will be developed to facilitate experts by tracking their developing hypotheses. </p>
