Teaching the TEI: your practice?
by Marjorie Burghart 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Dear Digital Medievalists, I guess I can safely assume that several people here have an experience teaching the TEI, specifically to an audience of medievalists or historians. After teaching some workshops, I feel more and more that it is highly efficient to teach the TEI not alone, isolated, as a means to encode documents in a smart way, but putting the TEI XML at the center of the other technologies that make its interest immediately evident to the students. For instance, I have experienced that providing the students, when they're finished with their task of encoding a critical edition, with the Version Machine on the one hand and another set of XSLT producing a classic, print-like view of their document greatly helps them understanding not only what encoding is for, but also what they have been doing so far. I am even pondering whether or not including the use of eXist-db in a forthcoming course (which might be pushing it a bit far, I admit). Of course, since XSLT or XQuery are not really easy to grasp in a short period for people without any technical background, and it is not really evident to introduce them to the subtleties of those technologies. Still, it's probably good if the students get some idea of how technologies work together, instead of putting all their trust into the magic IT people will work on their smartly encoded TEI documents to "put them on the web" :) I would be interested in a feedback of your practice: do you, when you teach the TEI, feel the need / manage to integrate notions about other tools and technologies of the XML family? And if so, how do you do that (proper introduction to XSLT? use of packaged tools like the v-machine? etc.). Just curious :) Marjorie -- Marjorie BURGHART EHESS (pôle de Lyon) / UMR 5648 Histoire et Archéologie des Mondes Chrétiens et Musulmans Médiévaux 18 quai Claude Bernard 69007 Lyon - FRANCE

Digital Classicist seminar Call for Papers
by Tupman, Charlotte 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Digital Classicist Seminars (London, 2011) (Apologies for cross-posting. Please circulate widely--we welcome proposals from students as well as established researchers.) Call for Presentations The Digital Classicist will once more be running a series of seminars in Summer 2011, on the subject of research into the ancient world that has an innovative digital component. Themes could include, but are by no means limited to, visualization, information and data linking, digital textual and linguistic studies, and geographic information and network analysis; so long as the content is likely to be of interest both to classicists/ancient historians/archaeologists and information scientists/digital humanists, and would be considered serious research in at least one of those fields. The seminars run on Friday afternoons (16:30 - 19:00) from June to mid-August in Senate House, London, and are hosted by the Institute of Classical Studies (University of London). In previous years collected papers from the DC WiP seminars have been published in an online special issue of Digital Medievalist, a printed volume from Ashgate Press, a BICS supplement (in production), and the last three years have been released as audio podcasts. We have had expressions of interest in further print volumes from more than one publisher. We have a budget to assist with travel to London (usually from within the UK, but we have occasionally been able to assist international presenters to attend, so please enquire). Please send a 300-500 word abstract to gabriel.bodard(a)kcl.ac.uk by April 15th, 2011. We shall announce the full programme at the end of April. http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/index.html (Coörganised by Will Wootton, Charlotte Tupman, Matteo Romanello, Simon Mahony, Timothy Hill, Alejandro Giacometti, Juan Garcés, Stuart Dunn & Gabriel Bodard.) -- Dr Gabriel BODARD (Research Associate in Digital Epigraphy) Centre for Computing in the Humanities King's College London 26-29 Drury Lane London WC2B 5RL Email: gabriel.bodard(a)kcl.ac.uk Tel: +44 (0)20 7848 1388 Fax: +44 (0)20 7848 2980 http://www.digitalclassicist.org/ http://www.currentepigraphy.org/ -- Dr. Charlotte Tupman Research Associate Centre for Computing in the Humanities King's College London 26-29 Drury Lane London WC2B 5RL Tel: +44 (0)20 7848 1237

CfP: Digital Diplomatics 2011
by Georg Vogeler 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

*** appologies for cross-posting *** The study of medieval legal documents (charters, deeds, instruments ...) makes increasingly use of digital tools. The massive growth of documents online - as images, as calendars, as texts - and the attempts made to analyze and discuss diplomatics in the web has motivated us to organize a second international conference on "Digital Diplomatics". It will take place in Naples 29.9.-1.10.2011 and we are looking for proposals. You can find the full presentation of the conference at http://www.cei.lmu.de/digdipl11/ We would like to encourage in particular young scholars and graduate students to present their ideas and projects on using the new technologies for studying old documents. Travel grants will be provided. We are looking forward to hear from you for the organization comitee Georg Vogeler -- ------------------------------------- Dr. Georg Vogeler Historisches Seminar - Historische Grundwissenschaften Ludwig-Maximilians-Universtitaet Muenchen Post: Geschwister-Scholl-Pl. 1 - D 80539 Muenchen e-mail: g.vogeler(a)lrz.uni-muenchen.de http://www.hgw.geschichte.uni-muenchen.de/personen/mitarbeiter/vogeler/ Institut für Dokumentologie und Editorik <http://www.i-d-e.de> Association Paléographique Internationale - Culture .
