Turkology Annual Online – Full bibliographic records

The "Turkologischer Anzeiger/Turkology Annual" (TA), founded by Andreas Tietze (†) and György Hazai (†), is an indispensable systematic bibliography for Turkology and Ottoman Studies. Experts from all over the world contribute to its compilation, which is funded by several institutions including the UNESCO. The volumes edited by the Department of Oriental Studies of the University of Vienna have until now (2021) only appeared in printed form. In a project of the Cluster of Excellence “Asia and Europe” the data was produced between 2009 and 2011. the project digitized the first 26 published volumes at the local MediaLab and produced quality OCR full text using the Abbyy FineReader software. Team members from the Department of Computational Linguistics then analysed and parsed the data into a database. With the end of the project, maintenance of the database became difficult and had to be stopped eventually. Because of the personal engagement of Dustin Heckmann, one of the former project members, not only the data was secured, but also the parsing itself significantly improved. Data provided here shows the last updates from HCTS side (Dustin Heckmann), which are almost complete. Since 2019 the Heidelberg University Library made efforts to transform the project output into a vuFind database. By 2023, all data was migrated to the Fachinformationsdienst Nahost-, Nordafrika- und Islamstudien (Specialised Information Service Middle East-, North Africa- and Islamic Studies), where the web-frontend can be accessed at ta.bibliothek.uni-halle.de.
