I just sent this message to the EpiDoc Markup list--we'd like to know if
there really is demand for training in Classics-specific markup and
tooling at this price in a Digital Humanities marketplace. Please
circulate this invitation widely.
Last week twelve professional papyrologists were trained in the use of
the new SoSOL tool(*) for tags-free markup of documentary texts. In the
process, c.100 texts were painlessly added to the Duke Databank of
Documentary Papyri.
I'd like to remind people that another EpiDoc+SoSOL training week is
planned as part of the DHO summer school (June 28-July 2), on which see
http://dho.ie/ss2010/ . If any of you might be interested in attending
this workshop (cost is €300 for students, €400 waged--we hope to have a
couple bursaries to help with the cost), or in sending a student or
colleague to be trained in epigraphic or papyrological markup, please
write to the local organizers and/or myself as soon as possible to
express your interest. Registration is still open, but we need to have a
good idea of numbers in the next couple weeks.
(*) on the Papyrological Editor: see http://papyri.info/editor/ or
http://sosol.sourceforge.net/ or
http://idp.atlantides.org/trac/idp/wiki/SoSOL . Full documentation to
follow soon.
Best,
Gabriel
