The “electronic Babylonian Library” (eBL) Platform
"The goal of the electronic Babylonian Library (eBL) platform is to advance the publication and reconstruction of cuneiform tablets worldwide. By offering a versatile platform for editing tablets and texts and for annotating editions and photographs, and a suite of tools for epigraphic, lexicographic and historiographic research, it aims to accelerate dramatically the pace at which the written documentation of ancient Mesopotamia is recovered for the modern world.
The eBL platform is based at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) and the Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften (BAdW), and it is hosted by the Leibniz-Rechenzentrum der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (LRZ). It was initially developed with funding from a Sofja Kovalevskaja Award (Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung, 2018–2024). Since 2022, further development has been supported by the Cuneiform Artefacts of Iraq in Context project (CAIC, BAdW, 2022–2046)."

Cuneiform Commentaries Project
"Mesopotamian commentaries represent the world’s oldest cohesive group of hermeneutic texts. Numbering nearly 900, the earliest date to the eighth century and the latest to ca. 100 BCE. The purpose of this website is to make the corpus available both to the scholarly community and a more general audience by providing background information on the genre, a searchable catalog, as well as photos, drawings, annotated editions, and translations of individual commentary tablets. For the first time the cuneiform commentaries, currently scattered over 21 museums around the globe, will be accessible on one platform.
The Cuneiform Commentaries Project is funded by Yale University (2013-2016) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (Division of Research Programs “Scholarly Editions and Translations,” 2015-2018)."
