XML for Digital Scholarly Editions: A TEI-XML Transcription Workshop

About this workshop

These pages contain the training materials for a full-day modular and reusable workshop that teaches students basic technologies to transcribe documents in TEI-XML for use in a Digital Scholarly Editing, from scratch. It also showcases how XSLT can be used to transform a TEI-XML transcript into one or more web pages, and it may be expanded later to also include some basic HTML and CSS.

The workshop is specifically designed to help teachers include an introduction to (TEI-)XML in courses on Digital Text Analysis, which often mostly focus on introducing students to quantitative approaches to the subject, such as topic modelling. The workshop was originally designed by Wout Dillen as a guest-workshop in such a course on Digital Text Analysis, taught in the University of Uppsala’s MA programme in Digital Humanities. It builds heavily on a similar, shorter workshop Wout designed in a standalone course on ‘Digitala Metoder’ [Digital (Research) Methods)], that was taught at the University of Borås, and puts together a series of materials Wout previously developed for his own classes in various courses across MA programmes in Borås.
