  DAMOS is a (MariaDB) relational database, which contains all the published Mycenaean documents. These are administrative documents which constitute the earliest attestation (ca. 1400-1150 BCE) of the Ancient Greek language. The data in DAMOS can be accessed, searched and browsed online since the launch of its online interface in 2013. In this paper, after a general introduction on the data and the database structure, we describe the export function which we recently added to DAMOS and its online interface. This allows users to export data from the database as Epidoc-TEI compliant XML files. EpiDoc is an international, standard subset of TEI, used for the digital edition of documentary Ancient Greek and Latin texts, currently expanding to other epigraphic traditions (e.g., runes, ogham). The present work builds also on the collaboration with the EpiDoc community on the adaptation of EpiDoc to suitably represent the Mycenaean documents. The aim of the EpiDoc export function is, thus, in compliance with the FAIR data principles, to increase the integration of the Mycenaean data with other similar datasets, to provide a sustainable format for the long time archiving of the DAMOS data, and to make it easier to reuse these data. Finally, we briefly discuss the planned development of an import function, which would enable users to contribute data to DAMOS by uploading EpiDoc-XML files with new or revised versions of the Mycenaean texts, thus allowing, and fostering, collaborative work on the digital edition of the Mycenaean documents.
