If you know of one, post it in the comments.

The primary issue though is that the source material isn't digitized yet.

As it happens, whilst the sources mentioned in the article (Old Assyrian archival texts excavated in Kaneš, Turkey) are unfortunately not yet available online, there are a substantial number of cuneiform texts available in interactive, scholarly-edited forms on the Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus: http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/projectlist.html

Admittedly there are swathes of cuneiform tablets which aren't available online yet (for example the OA texts, Old Babylonian letters, many tablets that haven't even been entered into museum catalogues yet) but the online corpus presents some very rich material.

There is also a Github repository https://github.com/oracc
