While digital humanities (DH) and digital scholarship (DS) are maturing as disciplines, the activities and products of DH and DS are still not consistently or readily understood or valued as research outputs. Part of this challenge is that there are limited structures in place to automatically make visible and discoverable “non-traditional” scholarly outputs like digital […]
TEI markup provides structures that are particularly useful for processing data beyond what we can do with so-called “plain text”. A full-day workshop allows us plenty of time to teach the pull-processing of data from XML/TEI with simple, reusable XSLT templates to represent in simple TSV/CSV, HTML tables/charts, and (if time!) simple SVG graphics. Knowing […]
Using case-studies of both successfully preserved and lost projects, this workshop outlines best practices and concrete approaches for achieving Endings-compliance. We will ask what it means to end a project, what should remain “on the shelf” in 20 years, and what happens when we run projects through existing archiving tools. We address the difference between […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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. In particular, attendees will […]
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 . Objective: 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 […]
Description:This workshop offers a three-hour introduction to the eXtensible Markup Language of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI-XML). We’ll learn why we mark up historical and literary texts and what we can do with encoded texts and data. We’ll cover the basics of XML terminology then discover how TEI documents are structured. We will dig into the “TEI […]

This workshop will introduce you to LaTeX, a typesetting system commonly used in STEM disciplines to create high-quality documents and easily write mathematical equations. We will discuss tools for writing in LaTeX, the structural elements of LaTeX, text formatting, and commands for writing mathematical equations. Whether you are preparing academic assignments, research manuscripts, or technical […]
The ability to effectively track and communicate your research impact is an essential skill for today’s researchers. Profile tools like ORCID, Google Scholar, and McMaster Experts provide valuable spaces to showcase your research outputs, from publications and datasets to creative works, while enabling efficient workflows for demonstrating your impact. This workshop will guide researchers through […]
