Creating Your TEI-XML Editing Project: A Personalized Workshop for Beginners to TEI
October 3 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm Eastern Daylight Time
Are you planning on using text encoding or TEI-XML to prepare your editing project, but you don’t know where to start? Join eLaboratories for a 90-minute workshop on October 3 at 12:00 PM EDT, where you’ll begin setting up your project in consultation with eLabs guide Christopher Ohge.
In discussing the next steps for preparing your TEI-based edition, you’ll learn about the basic mechanics of TEI-XML, some of the TEI-XML programming elements that are commonly used, and the various resources needed for working in TEI-XML. You’ll then put this knowledge into practice by creating a TEI-XML document specific to your project in consultation with the workshop presenter.
This workshop is ideal for those who have an edition or project in mind that they would like to prepare using text encoding, but are new to TEI. Please note that this workshop is limited to 20 registrants.
