Overview
Content description
In this Digital Humanities from University of Antwerp participants will acquire a set of basic computer skills such as XML mark-up language and handwritten text recognition to design a fully-fledged, TEI-compatible Digital Scholarly Edition and deploy keystroke logging technology to record and analyse born-digital texts.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- the basic syntactic rules of the descriptive meta-markup language XML;
- what the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) is, and how its XML-based vocabulary is used to transcribe source material;
- what IIIF is and how it is used for making digital objects available online;
- how Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) works and how to use the Transkribus platform for the (automatic) transcription of source documents;
- how the Axolotl XML editor can be used for HTR postprocessing (i.e. to encode the revision process as recorded in the documents) and to collaborate in a digital editing project;
- how to use XPath to query and navigate through XML documents;
- how to use XSLT to transform XML documents into another data format, such as HTML;
- how to use HTML and CSS for creating web pages as part of a digital edition;
- how keystroke logging software can be deployed for editing digital writing processes;
