One main scribe with another checking
A single scribe was the writer of the Doomsday Book. A second clerk checks the scribes work, added some note and further entries.
Many different scribes; but they all generally copied portions of the Bible and not the whole lot.
Scribes, then as now, had many duties. (Today, we would call these people journalists or reporters. They observe events and write about them.) In ancient times, the job of the scribe was provide a written record of all important information, in order to preserve it for future reference. Sometimes, scribes recorded legal contracts or documents for the government; sometimes they reported the official news events so that the public would know the great deeds of their leaders; sometimes they wrote down hymns of praise to the gods and goddesses, to be used in worship. Scribes in ancient Egypt used hieroglyphics (picture-writing) as their means of communication, writing on papyrus, using reed pens dipped in ink.

Domesday Book is really two independent works. One, known as Little Domesday, covers Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. The other, Great Domesday, covers much of the remainder of England and parts of Wales, except for lands in the north that would later become Westmorland, Cumberland, Northumberland and County Durham. There are also no surveys of London, Winchester and some other towns. The omission of these two major cities is probably due to their size and complexity. Most of Cumberland and Westmorland are missing because they were not conquered until some time after the survey, and County Durham is lacking as the Bishop of Durham (William de St-Calais) had the exclusive right to tax Durham; parts of the north east of England were covered by the 1183 Boldon Book, which listed those areas liable to tax by the Bishop of Durham. The omission of the other counties has not been fully explained.

No one person invented the Egyptian Hieroglyphs. Like any language, it developed over many thousands of years. The scribes would learn to use the thousands of pictographs, though.
