Research use of DĀMOS Linear B texts

Research use of DĀMOS Linear B texts

Dear DĀMOS team,

I am a high school student in India building a benchmark that tests decipherment methods on short-text corpora. Linear B would be an ideal real-world check, since its texts are short and its language is known.

I understand DĀMOS is available under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Is there a way to export the transliterated texts in bulk for non-commercial research use? I would cite DĀMOS fully and not redistribute the data beyond what the licence allows.

Best regards,
Arnav Goel

I'm afraid you're asking the wrong people.  This is the Linux DAMOS
which is a Data Access Monitoring tool.  You should probably be talking
to these people instead:

Thank you for kindly explaining that and Cc-ing damon@, Matthew.  Arnav, as
Matthew mentioned, seems you are using a wrong contact point.


Thanks,
