Abstract
	This paper describes the main challenges faced and the solutions adopted in the frame of the project DASI – Digital archive for the study of pre-Islamic Arabian inscriptions.  In  particular,  it  discusses  the  methodological  and  technological  issues  that  emerged  during  the  conversion  from  the  CSAI  –  Corpus  of  South  Arabian  inscriptions project (a domain-specific, text-based, digital edition conceived at the end of 1990s) to the wider DASI archive for the study of inscriptions in different languages and scripts of ancient Arabia. The paper devotes special attention to: the modelling of data and encoding (XML annotation vs database approach; the conceptual model for the valorisation of the material aspect of the epigraph; the textual encoding for critical editions); interoperability (pros and cons of compliance to standards; harmonization of  metadata;  openness;  semantic  interoperability);  lexicography  (tools  for  under-resourced  languages;  translations),  with  a  view  to  possibly  fostering  reasoning  on  best practices in the community of digital epigraphers beyond each specific cultural/
