Welcome to the site for the 2019 London Rare Books School module on advanced methods in digital scholarly editing (1-5 July 2019).
Convened by: Dr Christopher Ohge (Institute of English Studies)
Guest Tutors: Dr Gabriel Bodard (Institute of Classical Studies), Dr Tiago Sousa Garcia (Newcastle), Dr Elizabeth Williamson (Exeter)
Venue: IHR Training Room (318), Senate House (North Block), University of London
Have you taken an introduction to the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI), but are unsure of what to do next? Have you started a digital edition, but want to learn more about encoding, querying, publishing and analysing your project? Taught by several scholars with years of practical editing experience, this advanced digital scholarly editing module can help take your digital editing further, showing through several hands-on workshops how to implement advanced computational methods. Students will focus on XML technologies such as advanced TEI encoding, XPath and XSLT, as well as the programming language R to produce text analyses of edition data.
Please note: Students in this module must have a basic understanding of TEI-XML. If you require an introduction to TEI, consider signing up for the LRBS module, Digital Scholarly Editing: An Introduction.
Follow the schedule below, which includes links to the individual days, or navigate to the appropriate day at the top of the page.
(Please note that I will hold office hours in Room 242, Senate House (South Block) from 16.00–17.30 each day after class.)
