The complexity of the Arabic script gives rise to a variety of Arabic spelling variants and spelling errors, which can lead to a variety of problems in Arabic information processing. To deal with this issue, the CJKI has created the Database of Arab Names in Arabic (DANA), a one-of-a-kind resource which covers several hundred thousand Arabic script variants and common spelling mistakes, as illustrated in the data sample below. A key feature of DANA is that every Arabic name is normalized and vocalized to produce a database of error-free, fully sanitized Arabic canonical forms. The vocalization is performed by a team of editors with the aid of tools and interfaces designed to achieve maximum efficiency. The canonical forms are used both as a basis for creating accurate romanized variants for our Database of Arab Names (DAN) -- which contains over 2 million romanized variants of Arab names -- as well as Arabic orthographic variants for DANA. |
