SUMMARY:QGIS Intensive Series: Mapping for Academic Publication (Reference Maps)
DESCRIPTION:In this beginner-friendly workshop\, you will learn to create simple\, static maps to accompany academic publications. You will be introduced to a variety of maps as well as best practices in cartography. This workshop is suited for anyone who wants to make a map of their research area\, or whose project involves data with a spatial component. To make our maps\, we will use QGIS\, a free and open-source Geographic Information System (GIS) for analyzing\, modifying\, and visualizing spatial data. \n\n\n\nBy the end of this workshop\, you will have the confidence to: \n\n\n\n\nDecide what kind of map best conveys your research or contextualizes your study area;\n\n\n\nFind and download relevant spatial data;\n\n\n\nLoad datasets into QGIS and style them as data layers;\n\n\n\nCompose a map that includes a title\, scale bar\, legend\, and north arrow; and\n\n\n\nExport this map into formats compatible with print and digital publication.\n\n\n\n\nNOTE: The fundamental skills and concepts pertaining to spatial data\, map types\, and the QGIS interface will not be covered during this workshop. Therefore\, prior to the workshop date\, please review our Introduction to Mapmaking with QGIS (https://ubc-library-rc.github.io/gis-mapping-intro/) \n\n\n\nThis workshop is designed for those with no experience using GIS. It is taught by a graduate student in Geography with expertise in GIS and cartographic methods. \n\n\n\nWorkshop link: https://ubc-library-rc.github.io/gis-reference-mapping/ \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThings to do before arriving:\n\n\n\nQGIS is a free and open source desktop geographic information system (GIS). It can be installed on Windows\, MacOS\, and Linux using the download instructions here: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html. This workshop will use the latest Long Term Release version. Please make sure you have this installed on your computer. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nDate: Tuesday\, August 11\, 2026  \n\n\n\nTime: 10:00am – 12:00pm (British Columbia) \n\n\n\nPresenter: Lily Crandall-Oral

SUMMARY:Introduction to Markdown digital workflows
DESCRIPTION:Plain text formats have received increasing attention from scholars in recent years and have been described as among the best ways to store knowledge persistently. This workshop will introduce you to the benefits of using plain text files and simple markup formats to create flexible\, robust\, and future-proof workflows for digital scholarship\, research\, and knowledge. We will begin with a brief introduction to the Markdown text format and create a short sample document which with the use of a few simple tools that can be converted into a website\, dynamic slideshow presentation\, PDF\, and even a formatted PhD thesis. We will also cover how to migrate existing « closed » files like Word documents and PowerPoint presentations into more accessible plain text Markdown (or similar formats like Asciidoc)\, for archival\, collaboration\, version control\, and other purposes. \n\n\n\nSee website (link below) for more details. \n\n\n\nTuesday\, 11 August\, 2026\, 11:00am-1:00pm (British Columbia) \n\n\n\nPresenter: Kamal Abou Mikhael

SUMMARY:TEI 2026: LEAF Commons Tool Suite
DESCRIPTION:This half-day workshop introduces textual scholars and practitioners to the LEAF Commons tool suite (https://www.leaf-vre.org/docs/about-leaf/leaf-commons)\, a set of web-based\, modular\, easy-to-use tools supporting text encoding\, named entity recognition\, web annotation\, text analysis and publication without users having to learn markup/coding languages\, and support easy movement between interoperable tools. This freely available suite of tools supports digital scholarly workflows for the collaborative production and publication of scholarly and documentary editions\, and collections on the web\, without the need for software installation. The LEAF Commons suite enables the use of individual tools for specific purposes\, or supports an end-to-end workflow from transcription to publication allowing it to serve a wide range of research and pedagogical uses. This workshop will introduce the tools\, features and functionality\, integrate training materials in multiple languages\, and encourage participants to think critically about how the LEAF Commons tools might help TEI2026 participants make good choices about their own workflows. \n\n\n\nLEAF stands for the Linked Editing Academic Framework\, a collaborative software suite that provides a set of modular tools for text editing and publication.(https://www.leaf-vre.org/) The LEAF Commons tools constitute an accessible\, low-barrier\, no-cost infrastructure for researchers to produce online texts\, editions\, or collections\, whether for teaching or for undertaking research and collaboration on a sustainable basis. The LEAF Commons tools are freely available in the browser\, enabling collaboration and publication through Github\, in addition to permitting local storage or installation in a local stack. The LEAF Commons tools promote reuse of data methodologies in keeping with the FAIR (Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, and Reusable) data principles\, LEAF uses open-source software\, open-access platforms\, and open international standards for best practices in text-encoding (TEI-XML – https://tei-c.org) and web annotation (RDF – https://www.w3.org/RDF/). \n\n\n\nLEAF promotes best practices\, reuse\, and sustainability in the production of digital scholarship in the humanities through tools designed to bridge the gap between scholars with (en)coding experience\, and those who do not. LEAF Commons offers communities of researchers\, teachers\, and students the opportunity to take part in digital knowledge production and open collaboration. The workshop will end with open discussion about pursuing such forms of open knowledge production and collaboration. \n\n\n\nLEAF-Writer: (https://leaf-writer.leaf-vre.org/) an open-source\, open-access multi-lingual Extensible Markup Language (XML) editor that runs in a web browser and offers scholars and their students a rich textual editing experience without the need to download\, install\, and configure proprietary software\, pay ongoing subscription fees\, or learn complex coding languages. This user-friendly editing environment incorporates Text Encoding Initiatives (TEI) and Resource Description Framework (RDF) standards. It incorporates reconciliation with linked open data identifiers and project-specific authorities as part of the encoding process. LEAF-Writer is particularly valuable in pedagogical contexts\, enabling instructors to teach students good encoding practices without also needing to teach students coding or installing software locally. \n\n\n\nLEAF-TE: (The LEAF Turning Engine – https://www.leaf-vre.org/docs/features/leaf-te) is a headless API that enables users to easily and automatically transform documents between formats. It converts HTR/OCR output and MS Word to TEI-XML for importing into LEAF-Writer. It also exports from LEAF-Writer to HTML\, Markdown\, RDF\, CSV\, and plain text for exporting encoded texts for publishing\, analysis\, and preparing for linking textual data. \n\n\n\nNERVE: (the Named Entity Relationship and Vetting Environment – https://nerve.lincsproject.ca/) is an application that performs Named Entity Recognition (NER) on machine-readable texts\, allowing users to identify candidate entities in a document\, review\, and correct the results\, to produce both TEI markup and/or Linked Open Data (LOD) Web Annotations. Users can export their reconciled data in TEI-XML or JSON formats to an online repository or to their desktop. NERVE can be used in conjunction with LEAF-Writer\, or as a stand-alone tool. \n\n\n\nDToC: (the Dynamic Table of Contexts – https://www.leaf-vre.org/docs/features/dtoc) provides an online interactive reading and publication environment for digital scholarly texts where the two conventional overviews provided in print editions – the table of contents and the index – have been dynamically merged to provide an interactive online e-reading experience that leverages the power of XML markup. Users can build a DToC edition from one or more TEI-XML files\, then curate and label the underlying elements and attributes in order to understand where named entities\, topics\, and concepts can be traced within the edition. Editions can be stored using URLs and shared with readers as published or teaching texts. \n\n\n\nRequirements and Availabilities: \n\n\n\n\nParticipants will need a web-enabled laptop computer (not a tablet or a mobile device).\n\n\n\nNo software installation is required.\n\n\n\nSample texts in multiple languages will be provided\, which participants will continue to have access to after the workshop; participants can also test their own documents in TEI-conformant XML.\n\n\n\n\nPresenters: J.

SUMMARY:TEI 2026: Low-cost\, low-infrastructure\, low-threshold strategies for authoring and publishing TEI (and friends)
DESCRIPTION:This half-day workshop will introduce strategies for working with TEI with minimal resources at one’s disposal. We will discuss low-cost\, low-infrastructure\, and low-threshold solutions for getting started with TEI projects from authoring to publishing\, with the inclusion of other related XML formats such as MEI and MathML or also LaTeX-based MathJax. \n\n\n\nIn particular\, attendees will be first introduced to using the free code editor Visual Studio Code with the extension Scholarly XML. First released in 2020 and greatly updated in 2025\, Scholarly XML (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=raffazizzi.sxml) has provided a lightweight and easy-to-use solution for simple TEI encoding work\, such as RELAX NG and Schematron validation\, and schema-aware suggestions. \n\n\n\nAttendees will also be introduced to CETEIcean as a way of publishing TEI with minimal (or no) transformation (Cayless and Viglianti 2018). The main focus of the workshop will be learning how this approach can be used to generate simple static pages to be hosted on free services such as GitHub or Netlify. This workshop is aimed at attendees of all technical levels\, including those who do not typically write code\, as well as those who already have some programming experience and are interested in learning a leaner approach to TEI work. \n\n\n\nMotivation: \n\n\n\nDigital humanities projects that result in the creation of digital output—typically a website— are prone to what Smithies et al. call the “digital entropy of software and digital infrastructure” (2019). Static sites have become a common choice for archiving legacy projects that risk going offline (Smithies et al. 2019\, Summers 2016) because they only require the absolute minimum from hosting infrastructure: a server to distribute documents at a given address. The Endings project at the University of Victoria\, British Columbia (https://endings.uvic.ca/)\, for example\, recommends static sites as a viable strategy for ensuring the longevity of Digital Humanities project publications. When projects decay\, “[t]hose in charge of infrastructure are also determining\, particularly in the long term\, the scholarly worth of a project\, whether it should remain online\, and in what form” (Viglianti and del Rio Riande\, 2025). In this perspective\, static sites can also function as a component in a plan of ‘graceful degradation’. In this workshop\, we want to explore and discuss how much TEI users and DH-project researchers and maintainers can do without relying on costly and unreliable infrastructure. The same lightweight infrastructures that support graceful degradation and long-term accessibility are also attractive for researchers with limited technical support or financial resources. This workshop therefore approaches sustainability not as a concern that emerges at the end of a project\, but as a design principle that can inform TEI workflows from the outset. \n\n\n\nSchedule and requirements: \n\n\n\nAfter an introduction to the motivations for this workshop\, we will cover the following topics: \n\n\n\n\nInstalling and using Scholarly XML extension for VS Code for authoring and validating TEI.\n\n\n\nSetting up CETEIcean in a simple web page.\n\n\n\nExploring multimodal examples using additional libraries such as Verovio (MEI) and MathJax (LaTeX)\, as well as browser-compatible formats such as MathML and SVG.\n\n\n\nPublishing on GitHub pages and Netlify.\n\n\n\nDiscussion of sustainability\, graceful degradation\, and long-term maintenance of TEI publications.\n\n\n\nShow and tell: Participants are invited to present and discuss their own lightweight publishing strategies. We’d love to see your approach!\n\n\n\nExample TEI documents will be provided. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own TEI to work with.\n\n\n\nParticipants must bring their own laptop and be able to install (free) software on it. Internet access will be required.\n\n\n\n\nReferences: \n\n\n\nCayless\, Hugh\, and Raffaele Viglianti. “CETEIcean: TEI in the Browser.” Presented at Balisage: The Markup Conference 2018\, Washington\, DC\, July 31 – August 3\, 2018.

SUMMARY:TEI 2026: Schematron in ODD
DESCRIPTION:Topic: “Schematron in ODD”: Using Schematron in in TEI customizaitons to constrain your TEI documents in ways that are difficult or impossible to express in PureODD without . \n\n\n\nObjective: Participants should leave the workshop with at least a working knowledge of the basics of Schematron\,¹ XPath\,² how these are used in an ODD customization\, and a list of resources for learning more. With luck\, participants (at least those who arrive with a TEI customization and the desire to add some difficult constraints to it) will leave with TEI ODD files that generate Schematron that performs the checks they would like their project data to pass. Appeal to the community: I have no idea if community members will find this appealing or not. I know for sure they *should* find it very appealing\, but a) most people may already know this stuff\, and b) many people may not realize how important it is. That said\, I think it is pretty easy to make the argument that \n\n\n\n\ncatching errors in your encoding earlier is better\n\n\n\nthus catching errors in your customized TEI schema is a good thing\n\n\n\nthere are lots of errors to be caught that are difficult or impossible to catch using PureODD without .\n\n\n\n\nA great example of this is checking that the value of @ref attributes of point to a \, and that those of \n\n\n\nThis workshop will start with an ~½-hour talk on Schematron\, what it is\, and how it fits into ODD\, followed by an ~½-hour introduction to XPath (this part will be ditched if all participants are already comfortable with XPath). It will then quickly progress to a hands-on practice session with participants writing Schematron in an ODD to solve an assigned constraint. The rest (and hopefully most) of the time will be spent with participants working with their own ODDs creating and applying constraints needed for their own data. \n\n\n\nPrerequisites: \n\n\n\n\nParticipants should be familiar with ODD\, at least in a “I download it from Roma” kinda way.\n\n\n\nThe more XPath participants know\, the better.\n\n\n\nParticipants should arrive with the capability to generate RELAX NG and Schematron schemas from their customization ODDs. (Typically this would mean using Roma or oXygen\, but TEI Garage or commandline or anything else is fine\, too. But we do not want to spend class time setting folks up for generating schemas. If a prospective participant is having trouble with that\, I would be willing to meet (virtually) with them in early–mid July.)\n\n\n\nParticipants should arrive with the capability to validate their TEI documents against both RELAX NG and Schematron. (oXygen will do\, but any other method is fine\, too — I use jing and a front-end to SchXslt2 on the commandline\, myself.)\n\n\n\n\nNotes \n\n\n\n¹ That is\, the basic idea that Schematron gives us the ability to select a bunch of nodes from the tree\, and for each one ask “starting from this particular node\, is this XPath true?”\, and to issue a message if the answer is “no”. I.e.\, \, @context\, \, \, @test\, \, and . More advanced topics like phases\, abstract patterns\, and diagnotics will not be covered\, or only discussed if a question comes up to which they are the best answer. \n\n\n\n² That is\, the basic XPath required to perform simple tree navigation in a TEI document: axis\, paths\, steps\, predicates\, and some functions and operators; and (for testing)\, the concept that if an XPath returns one or more nodes it counts as true(); if it returns zero nodes it counts as false(). \n\n\n\n³ You need to remove from both model classes it is in\, and add it back to the content models of and manually. In the case of this is not particularly difficult — ( ( sic\, corr) | ( corr\, sic ) | ( model.choicePart\, model.choicePart+ ) ). But for you have to create *two* entire specifications for \, one for when @type is « catch » and another for when it is not. \n\n\n\nPresenter: S. Bauman
