Beyond Editing: Advanced Solutions and Technologies

Summer School
Prague =E2=80=93 4-8 Sept. 2017

Organised by the Faculty of Arts, Charles University Prague, and CNRS CIHAM=
 UMR 5648, with the support of DARIAH=E2=80=99s Humanities at Scale program=
me

Call for Applications

This Summer School targets Humanities scholars, librarians and students who=
 have already acquired a working knowledge of digital scholarly editing, es=
pecially TEI encoding, and wish to go further. If the encoding is a crucial=
 step, that translates the modelisation of a text or document into a comput=
er-readable form, scholars need to put this encoding to good use by display=
ing, processing and analysing it. To this end, it is necessary to master ot=
her technologies, which are often more difficult to learn, with much rarer =
training opportunities.

During this week-long school, the participants will learn how to display, t=
ransform and process a scholarly XML edition, with the aim of becoming able=
 to work on their own editions with the latest digital methods.

The week will be organised as follows:

a =E2=80=9Cmain course=E2=80=9D (all the morning sessions), centered on XSL=
T (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformation), a powerful language espe=
cially designed to work with XML;
a few =E2=80=9Csides=E2=80=9D, or workshops, will be offered during the aft=
ernoon sessions, to introduce the participants to more specialised technolo=
gies and solutions allowing them to enhance a scholarly edition (geographic=
al data, linguistic tools, network analysis, etc.)
We invite applications from scholars, students (Master level and beyond), l=
ibrarians, archivists and other research professionals involved in the prod=
uction and valorisation of scholarly digital editions. The selection commit=
tee particularly invites applicants from Central and Eastern Europe.

Bursaries

The participation in the Summer school programme is free, and in addition, =
selected applicants will receive a bursary: DARIAH=E2=80=99s Humanities at =
Scale programme will cover the cost of their travel and accommodation, up t=
o a maximum of 500 EUR (participants will be refunded, up to 500 EUR, after=
 the training school and upon presentation of the receipts).

Venue

The Summer school will be hosted by the Faculty of Arts, Charles University=
, in the historical centre of Prague.
