      the collaboration between the NLP
      community and the specialists in various areas of the Humanities
      has become
      more efficient and fruitful due to the common aim of exploring and

      cultural heritage data. It is worth mentioning the efforts made
      during the digitization campaigns in the last years and within a
      series of initiatives in
      the Digital Humanities, especially in making Old Manuscripts

      are several challenges related to the
      above mentioned issues:</p>
    <ul>
      <li>
        Lack of adequate training material for real-size applications:
        although the Digital Libraries usually cover a large number of
        documents, it is difficult to collect a statistically
        significant corpus for a period of time in which the language
        remained unchanged.</li>
      <li>In most cases the language historical variants lack firmly
        established syntactic or morphological structures and that makes
        the definition of a robust set of rules extremely difficult.
        Historical texts often constitute a mixture of several languages
        including Latin, Ancient Greek, Slavonic, etc.</li>
      <li>Historical texts contain a great number of abbreviations,
        which follow different models.</li>
      <li>The conception of the world is somewhat different from ours
        (that is, different thinking about the Earth, different views in
        medicine, astronomy, etc.), which makes it more difficult to
        build the necessary knowledge bases.</li>

    <p class="MsoNormal"
      style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:
      justify">Having in mind the number of
      contemporary languages and their historical variants, it is
      practically
      impossible to develop brand new language resources and tools for
      processing
      older texts. Whenever possible a solution, but at the same time a
      real
      challenge, is to investigate how to adapt existing language
      resources and
      tools, as well as to provide (where necessary) training material
      in the form of
      corpora or lexicons for a certain period of time in history.</p>
