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 […]

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 […]
Computational thinking is an essential skill for anyone wanting to learn to program computers and write code. This workshop takes you through the steps involved in computational thinking, learning how to break down complex problems into smaller parts, identify patterns, and design logical solutions that a computer can execute. Through hands-on activities, you practice techniques […]

We use spreadsheet programs for entering, organizing, subsetting, and sorting data, for generating statistics and plots, and more. This course shows you some best practices that will result in fewer mistakes, greater reproducibility, and easier use of other software tools with data exported from spreadsheets. Learn how to: decide whether a spreadsheet or a database […]
Researchers and librarians often deal with “messy” data. This could include inconsistent interview transcripts, poorly formatted longitudinal datasets, or standardizing names for an authority file. Preparing this data for analysis is a critical step that requires the same level of rigor and reproducibility as the analysis itself. This workshop introduces OpenRefine, a powerful, free, and […]
