WWP Advanced Seminars on Scholarly Text Encoding

In 2008, the WWP received a grant from the NEH Institutes in Advanced Topics in Digital Humanities to support a series of advanced seminars on special topics in scholarly text encoding, building on our two-year introductory seminar series. This program supported seven seminars between July 2009 and June 2011.

This advanced seminar series focused on two topics:

• Manuscript encoding: These workshops focused on the detailed challenges of encoding manuscript materials, including editorial, transcriptional, and interpretive issues and the methods of representing these in TEI markup.
• Contextual information: These workshops focused on TEI methods for formalizing and representing information about context: named entities such as people and places, thematic analysis and keywords, text classification, glossaries and annotations.

Travel funding is available of up to $500 per participant.
