Data collected in the field from original manuscripts has been converted into XML files representing individual manuscripts following the guidelines of the Text Encoding Initiative<\/a> (TEI). Individual files were created simultaneously in Arabic, Persian and Turkish and transliterated based on the guidelines provided by the Department of Cataloguing and Acquisitions<\/a> of the Library of Congress (US). Similarly, those names appearing in a manuscript and the related subjects of the works, were standardised, whenever possible, according to the Library of Congress Authority<\/a> headings and provided with a link to the Virtual International Authority File<\/a> (VIAF). When a name could not be found in these databases, we have generated a local authority file that could be used for keeping internal consistency in the treatment of names.<\/p>\n
