About Interscript
The Interscript project was first conceived in 2017 stemming from the work at ISO 24229 "Codes for script conversion systems" of ISO/TC 46/WG 3. The initial work was led by Ribose.
A method was needed to allow for interoperability of transliteration systems of identical definitions, and also a way to implement machine-executable script conversion systems such that they are platform-independent and also independent of programming languages.
The need and benefits of allowing script conversion systems to be implemented in a machine-readable format, compared to the traditional way of expressing conversion rules in plain text, are clear. A new platform-independent language was developed to allow encoding of script conversion systems and applied to all systems implemented by Interscript, numbering over 200+.
Interscript is continuously growing in terms of number of systems, features, as well as in scope.
