EpiDoc Training Workshop
5-8 September 2011
Institute of Classical Studies, Senate House, London
An EpiDoc training workshop will be offered by the Department of Digital
Humanities, King’s College London, and the Institute for Classical
Studies in September this year. The workshop is free of charge and open
to all, but spaces are limited and registration as soon as possible is
essential.
This workshop is an introduction to the use of EpiDoc, an XML schema for
the encoding and publication of inscriptions, papyri and other
documentary Classical texts. Participants will study the use of EpiDoc
markup to record the distinctions expressed by the Leiden Conventions
and traditional critical editions, and some of the issues in translating
between EpiDoc and the major epigraphic and papyrological databases.
They will also be given hands-on experience in the use of the
Papyrological Editor tool implemented by the Duke Databank of
Documentary Papyri, which facilitates the authoring EpiDoc XML via a
‘tags-free’ interface.
The course is targeted at scholars of epigraphy and papyrology (from
advanced graduate students to professors) with an interest and
willingness to learn some of the hands-on technical aspects necessary to
run a digital project. Knowledge of Greek and/or Latin, the Leiden
Conventions and the distinctions expressed by them, and the kinds of
data that need to be recorded by philologists and ancient historians,
will be assumed. No particular technical expertise is required.
Places on the EpiDoc training week are limited so if you are interested
in attending the workshop or have any questions, please contact
[log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask] as soon as
possible with a brief statement of qualifications and interest.
