Abstract :
[en] In this paper, we present the Thot Sign List (TSL), an international project that aims at building an online repertoire of hieroglyphic signs and functions (http://thotsignlist.org/). After a brief history of the project, we introduce the data model, which meets the requirements formulated in Meeks (2013) and Polis & Rosmorduc (2013, 2015), and discuss the use of shared thesauri for the metadata (Thesauri and Ontologies for documenting ancient Egyptian resources; http://thot.philo.ulg.ac.be). In a second step, we describe the end-user interface, highlighting the interest of this tool for scholars and students alike.
