If you want to run an EpiDoc workshop
If you would like to run or host an EpiDoc training workshop at some point, please in the first instance contact the Markup list to canvass the possible trainers for their availability.
Please be prepared to:
- raise money to fund travel and accommodation (at least) for two or preferably three experienced trainers to visit and run the workshop
- begin planning the workshop at least 6 months ahead, and be flexible
- provide a seminar room with space for 10-15 participants to sit comfortably, with wireless internet access and data projection
- ...

Questions for discussion on Markup
typology of interpuncts and other g-types(done)- typology of letterforms/letter fragments (Daniel)
- encoding word-spacing on source text (Zheira)
- and layout features generally: image+text; directionality and orientation; text-formatting; genre+format relationship? (Celia)
- referent of @xml:lang: source or edition? (Terhi)
- msPart or similar when objects (incl. fragments) are primary in edition (Emmanuelle)
- @type on msPart? (Ulrike)
- interlinear spacing: layout or handNote? (Emmanuelle)
- encourage full segmentation/tokenization (cf. insaphdoco); or offer severallevels of conformance? (Thomas)
- New edition-type value: qualitycontrol: highlight "invisible" features, flag missing attributes, impossible dates, etc. (Emmanualle)
- Bibliographic control (various levels: inscription; project; corpus; global); via API? via namespaced uris? Relate to biblio authority training session? Related to IDEs bibl-abbr? Relate to CMR/DAI thinking...?
- relationship of text and editorial theories to (a) material evidence, (b) other kinds of evidence, (c) scholarly reasoning behind evidence (@resp, @source/@ed, @evidence) (Emmanuelle)
Guidelines improvements needed
- why/when list language tags in header?
- default that lb is word-dividing?
- default text direction?
XSLT fixes needed
- spacing around milestones (and lines) when no tei:w markup
- omit first milestone element in each line
Rahtz re nbsp in egXML
Future meetings
- GB: hackathon to convert crappy corpus to EpiDoc
- Emmanuelle: philological modelling of text and user needs prior to modelling encoding
- cf. limitations of VREs (below) (RB)
- Ulrike: examine whether EpiDoc (and TEI?) model is driven by underlying assumptions of theory of text (transformation reveals some of this)
- make explicit transformation rules and assumptions behind them (EM)
- Ryan: workshop to try to create LOD from participants' own EpiDoc collection; and identify resources for linking to
- Emmanuelle: mine Markup list for good practices, deprecated practices, discussions that never finished, decisions that never made it into Guidelines (workshop, or student project)
- Frank: (link to LOD workshop) automatic enrichment of EpiDoc data (NER, period links, disambiguation)
- Angela: editing practice, and discussion of other editing environments, tools, shortcuts, assistants.
- incorporate into EpiDoc Summer School practice some day? (GB)
- Celia: Virtual Research Environments: test VREs for working with XML, editors, tools, linking data. CSAD VRE, TextGrid, Papyri.info?, TAPAS, (EFES?), others..?
- Ulrike: bring along existing EpiDoc files to hack on: visualizations, indexing, upconversion, linked data, unpredictable/undesirable re-use
- Emmanualle: how to evaluate electronic publications [in epigraphy]
Training suggestions
- Summer School training:
- slideshow on <supplied>+<gap> combinations
- more examples on screen, working together
- set concrete homework for every day private study
- make time for participants to present their work / their needs
- Advanced training:
- introduction to XSLT, XPath, XQuery
- customizing and adapting EpiDoc XSLT
- project management, setting up project, identifying technical tasks/skills
- advanced markup, linking, vocabularies, LOD
- especially bibliography
- EpiDoc tools tutorial
- Kiln tutorial
