Subject: Workshop on Transcription of Medieval MSS at Berkeley
August 19
The Digital Scriptorium Project has prepared another revised version of
the Document Type Definition (DTD) for the encoded transcription of
medieval manuscripts using XML, documentation of that DTD, and a set of
software tools to facilitate their use. These materials will be available
after 8/19/02 to anyone, at UC Berkeley or elsewhere, at
http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/Scriptorium/transcription.html
The Bancroft Library, U. of California, Berkeley, will sponsor a one-day
hands-on workshop (9 a.m. - 4 p.m.) on Monday, August 19 (place TBA). The
workshop will be led by Sharon Goetz and Charles Faulhaber and will cover
all aspects of the use of the transcription guidelines and the software:
downloading and installation, overview of text encoding principles for the
preparation of machine-readable texts, and step-by-step instruction in the
encoding and transcription of medieval manuscripts using the software.
Participants may use manuscripts available on the Digital Scriptorium
website or provide their own.
The workshop is open to anyone, whether affiliatied with UC Berkeley or
not. Therre is no fee, but we can accomodate only 17 participants. If you
are interested in attending the workshop, please contact Charles Faulhaber
(cfaulhab@library.berkeley.edu).
The original DTD was prepared by Michael Sperberg-McQueen, former U.S.
editor of the Text Encoding Initiative. An XML version was prepared by
David Seaman (Electronic Text Center, U. of Virginia). This in turn has
been extensively revised by Sharon Goetz (UC Berkeley). We are deeply
indebted to all three for their work.
