Advanced TEI Seminar at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Welcome
Welcome
This workshop focuses on the representation of manuscripts using the TEI, focusing on a set of central issues: the complex relationship between the physical document and the textual information it carries; the representation of revision and changes to the document; the representation of editorial actions. We will also think about what aspects of manuscript representation can be generalized and shared. Our work will focus on case studies using participants’ own projects, together with presentations, hands-on practice, and discussion.
