Seminar on Scholarly Text Encoding, April 17-19

This three-day seminar is being held at Texas A&M University from Friday, April 17 through Sunday, April 19, 2009. The application deadline is March 13, 2009. The application form and schedule are available on the information page. This seminar was rescheduled from September due to Hurricane Ike.

Participants need not be currently working on a digital humanities project involving encoded transcription of textual material, but should be seriously considering such work in the future or be actively engaged in a research program in digital humanities for which text encoding would be relevant. Part of the funding for this seminar series goes to provide consultation and advice following the seminar, including assistance with writing grant proposals, advice and assistance on developing TEI schemas and documentation, and guidance on text encoding issues.
