SUMMARY:Processing Your XML/TEI with the XML Family of Languages (DHSI 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Description \n\n\n\nThis class teaches you how to navigate and process XML using tools designed for the purpose–XSLT\, XQuery\, and Schematron. We cover these together as members of the same XML family\, sharing a common syntax in XPath. New and experienced coders of XML will benefit alike from this course\, whether just beginning a project or seeking to update and refresh skills. Our goals are 1) to share strategies for systematically building archives and databases\, and 2) to increase participants’ confidence and fluency in extracting information coded in XML in those archives and databases. XPath is the center of the course\, but we will show you how it applies in multiple XML processing contexts so that you learn how these work similarly and how these are used\, respectively\, to validate documents and to transform them for publication and other reuse. We’ll apply XPath to check for accuracy of text encoding–to write schema rules to manage your coding (or your project team’s coding). \n\n\n\nYou’ll practice and gain fluency in writing XPath expressions and patterns\, including sequence expressions\, regular expressions\, datatypes\, predicates\, operators\, and functions (from the core library and user-defined). We’ll write XPath to calculate how frequently you’ve marked a certain phenomenon\, or locate which names of people are mentioned together in the same chapter\, paragraph\, sentence\, stanza\, or annotation. You’ll learn how XPath can help you to build exciting visualizations from XML code (such as to make a chart like a timeline or a network graph). Whether you are an XML beginner or a more experienced coder\, you’ll find that strengthened skills in XPath and the XML family will help you with systematic encoding\, document processing\, and project management. \n\n\n\nPrerequisites: Some experience with XML markup. No prior experience with programming is required. \n\n\n\nInstructor(s)\n\n\n\nElisa Beshero-Bondar is Program Chair of Digital Media\, Arts\, and Technology and Professor of Digital Humanities at Penn State Erie\, The Behrend College. She teaches undergraduate students to code and build digital projects with the XML family of languages. Elisa led the technical development of the Frankenstein Variorum project combining Python\, XSLT\, and TEI to compare 5 distinct digital versions of the novel Frankenstein. She  is also founder and director of the Digital Mitford Project which has hosted  coding  workshops for graduate students\, faculty\, scholarly editors\, and librarians interested in learning coding and digital project management methods used in the project. She was elected to the TEI Technical Council in 2015\, which she now chairs\, and where she works with ten other members from around the world in revising the TEI Guidelines and schema and supporting the TEI community. \n\n\n\nDavid J. Birnbaum is Professor Emeritus from the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Pittsburgh. He has been involved in the study of electronic text technology since the mid-1980s\, has delivered presentations at a variety of electronic text technology conferences\, and has served on the board of the Association for Computers and the Humanities\, the editorial board of Markup languages: Theory and practice\, and the Text Encoding Initiative Council. Much of his electronic text work intersects with his research in medieval Slavic manuscript studies\, but he also often writes about issues in the philosophy of markup. \n\n\n\nClick here for an example of previous syllabus and course material (2025)

SUMMARY:Publier avec des limites (DHSI 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Description \n\n\n\nComment publier dans un contexte de limites ? \n\n\n\nLes humanités numériques sont une approche pluridisciplinaire pour la recherche scientifique\, mais constituent aussi une démarche critique par rapport au numérique. L’émergence des grands modèles de langage et leurs intelligences artificielles génératives posent des questions sociales cruciales quand aux modèles épistémologiques et à l’impact écologique qui sous-tendent les technologies de nos sociétés. Ce cours propose d’interroger et de mettre en pratique cette démarche critique propre aux DH dans le champ de la publication\, et plus spécifiquement de la publication scientifique. \n\n\n\nÀ travers une dizaine de séances réparties sur une semaine\, ce cours permet d’appréhender les mécanismes de production et de diffusion de la publication scientifique\, en prenant en considération des limites techniques et énergétiques. Que ce soit dans une perspective d’autonomisation (prépublication\, carnet de recherche\, diffusion autonome\, fanzine de recherche) ou dans un cadre institutionnel plus classique (dépôts institutionnels\, multi-diffusion numérique\, impression à la demande)\, ce cours aborde toutes les questions liées à la publication scientifique dans un contexte de transition écologique\, en souhaitant explorer différentes voies : expérimentales\, alternatives\, marginales ou radicales. Structuration de contenus\, partage et versionnement de documents\, production de formats de sortie standards (XML)\, fabrication de sites web\, création de brochures et de fanzines\, utilisation de l’impression à la demande\, etc.\, autant de techniques qui seront présentées et manipulées. \n\n\n\nTrois objectifs complémentaires sont au cœur de cette proposition : 1. l’acquisition de compétences en publication (imprimée et numérique)\, directement applicables à l’issue du cours ; 2. la compréhension et l’application des principes de low-tech\, de minimal computing\, et de permacomputing\, avec des ressources concrètes ; 3. le développement de chaînes de publication via l’assemblage de logiciels\, de programmes ou de services. \n\n\n\nCette formation s’adresse à toutes personnes de la communauté DH qui interrogent ses pratiques de publication scientifique\, aucun bagage technique n’est demandé\, des connaissances en libre accès/open access sont nécessaires\, quelques connaissances en balisage/HTML/XML sont un plus. \n\n\n\nEnseignant.e(s)\n\n\n\nAntoine Fauchié est maître de conférences (assistant professor) à l’Université Grenoble Alpes\, en France\, où il co-coordonne le Master Métiers du livre et de l’édition. Ses recherches s’inscrivent en sciences de l’information et en études de l’édition\, et portent sur les processus techniques d’édition dans différents domaines éditoriaux\, dont l’édition scientifique\, ainsi que sur les démarches de critique des technologies en lien avec les mouvements dits de low-tech ou de permacomputing (observation\, analyse et expérimentation). Sa thèse\, soutenue en janvier 2024 et intitulée “Fabriquer des éditions\, éditer des fabriques : reconfiguration des processus techniques éditoriaux et nouveaux modèles épistémologiques”\, est une exploration de chaînes d’édition non conventionnelles via des études de cas et la réalisation de prototypes et de modélisations éditoriales (https://these.quaternum.net).

SUMMARY:Responsible Computing and the Climate Crisis: Tools\, Principles\, and Actions (DHSI 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Description \n\n\n\nThis course surveys several important tools and approaches to understand how digital research impacts the climate\, and what we can do to think through and make responsible decisions as DH researchers. The course will broadly follow the organisation of the Digital Humanities Climate Coalition’s Toolkit (https://sas-dhrh.github.io/dhcc-toolkit/)\, a collaborative project which I have coordinated since its release in 2022 and on which I have subsequently taught several workshops. The toolkit provides advice on minimal computing\, maximal computing\, institutional change\, working practices\, grant writing\, and teaching. \n\n\n\nThe intended audience for the course is broad: it can accommodate graduate students\, academics\, librarians and archivists\, and academic administrators. Given that digital tools (hardware and software) are now ubiquitous and have environmental consequences\, we all have to think carefully about the tools we choose and the ways we consider responsible practices within our professional contexts. \n\n\n\nThis course will offer a blend of hands-on computational work with theoretical reflections and pragmatic suggestions for change\, while also showing how responsible environmental decisions connect to social justice issues. It will rely on accessible hardware and software (e.g.\, laptops and particularly open-source tools). \n\n\n\nInstructor(s)\n\n\n\nChristopher Ohge is Senior Lecturer in Digital Approaches to Literature at the School of Advanced Study\, University of London\, where he teaches in the MA programme in the History of the Book. He has been the lead coordinator of the toolkit that the Digital Humanities Climate Coalition released in 2022 and has participated in several events and workshops to highlight the environmental impacts of digital technologies. He is also the author of the book Publishing Scholarly Editions: Archives\, Computing\, and Experience (2021) and other writings on nineteenth-century literature\, textual editing\, and digital humanities.

SUMMARY:Python Programming for Multilingual Texts (DHSI 2026)
DESCRIPTION:      \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescription \n\n\n\nThis course introduces digital history through multilingual text analysis using the Python coding language. It is designed for both beginners and those with some experience\, teaching and revisiting Python basics through Jupyter Notebooks. Participants will complete a full digital history project\, from sourcing primary materials to analysis and visualization. The course’s corpus will be Lady Montagu’s The Turkish Embassy Letters\, detailing her travels to Constantinople (1716-18)\, which are significant for the history of medicine\, and for examining travel and mobility\, cultural exchanges between Europe and the Ottoman Empire. They also offer an ideal bilingual corpus for historical analysis as they were first published in English in 1763\, then translated into French in 1764\, and finally published in a parallel English-French edition in 1816. Participants learn to clean\, analyze\, and visualize multilingual data in Python while exploring how text technologies and analytical techniques differ across source languages\, emphasizing the challenges and opportunities of working with non-English texts in the digital humanities. By the end of the course\, participants will have the tools to design their own digital history project and will have gained hands-on experience in multilingual digital humanities. No prior experience with digital tools is required\, though an interest in historical source analysis is encouraged. \n\n\n\nInstructor(s)\n\n\n\nMerve Tekgürler is a MS candidate in symbolic systems and a PhD candidate in history at Stanford University. Merve’s research spans multilingual digital humanities\, artificial intelligence\, and machine translation\, focusing on the development of Natural Language Processing tools for Ottoman Turkish. They previously taught “Python Programming for Digital Humanities” at University of California\, Berkeley. \n\n\n\nChloé Brault completed her PhD in comparative literature at Stanford in 2025. She works computationally with French-language texts from 1960s Quebec.

SUMMARY:Wiki for Academics: Critical Engagement\, Teaching\, and Knowledge Dissemination (DHSI 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Description \n\n\n\nThis course introduces academics to the Wikimedia ecosystem and its applications in teaching and research. The course will address questions of authority and content attribution\, the reliability of sources\, knowledge equity\, and the political dimensions of open knowledge. Participants will learn how Wikipedia\, Wikidata\, Wikimedia Commons\, and other Wiki projects function\, and how they can be leveraged as tools to foster critical thinking\, teach about misinformation\, engage students in collaborative editing\, and make scholarly knowledge more discoverable and accessible according to FAIR principles. Through a mix of hands-on editing\, critical discussion\, and guided planning\, participants will leave with: \n\n\n\na draft course plan for integrating Wiki tools into their teaching; and a draft research plan for using Wiki projects in their scholarship and knowledge mobilization. \n\n\n\nThis course emphasizes both theoretical and practical approaches\, equipping scholars to critically analyze Wiki platforms while also contributing meaningfully to them. This course also integrates critical theory and practice in understanding and using the Wiki ecosystem. \n\n\n\nInstructor(s)\n\n\n\nPascale Dangoisse: Program Officer for Wikimedia Canada\, I conduct work towards a better representation and integration of historically marginalized people into the Wiki ecosystem. My doctoral research (University of Ottawa) focused on understanding the persistence of systemic discrimination in liberal and progressive political environments. I was also a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Ottawa’s Digital Humanities Lab\, where I worked on the Lesbian and Gay Liberation Canada project (with Prof. Crompton). I continue to teach about the various systemic barriers that people face on a daily basis through Wiki tools and projects.

SUMMARY:Data Bites - Introduction to Programmatic Data De-identification with R
DESCRIPTION:Workshop: Programmatic Data De-identification with R \n\n\n\nThis practical workshop\, delivered by the UBC Library Research Data Management team\, introduces programmatic approaches to de-identifying sensitive research data in R. Through hands-on exercises using a realistic survey dataset\, participants will apply a structured workflow\, from assessing privacy risks to exporting a shareable\, de-identified dataset. \n\n\n\nParticipants will learn how to: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify privacy risks in research data\, including direct identifiers\, dates\, geographic variables\, and free-text fields.\n\n\n\nApply de-identification methods in R using dplyr\, including removal\, generalization\, suppression\, anonymization\, and pseudonymization.\n\n\n\nRun quality assurance checks to confirm a dataset is sufficiently de-identified before sharing.\n\n\n\nExport a de-identified dataset and a data key file\, and understand best practices for securely storing each.\n\n\n\n\n— \n\n\n\nNote 1: Participants familiar with R and RStudio are welcome to follow along on their own workstations. If you are new to R\, we recommend watching first to learn how R can be used for analysis and data de-identification\, then practicing later with the resources introduced during the session. \n\n\n\nDate: Wednesday\, July 15\, 2026  \n\n\n\nTime: 10:00am – 11:00am (British Columbia)  \n\n\n\nPresenters: Eugene Barsky\, Vanessa Choy\, Grigory Artazyan

SUMMARY:Powerful searching with Regular Expressions
DESCRIPTION:Regular expressions are a powerful and standardized way of representing patterns in text using special symbols and syntax. A core part of many programming languages\, search engines\, text editors\, and other commonly-used software\, regular expressions have a surprisingly wide array of uses\, from efficiently finding strings of text in large data sets\, to easily formatting complex documents\, to quickly replacing many small everyday tasks that might otherwise require writing shell scripts or other programs. \n\n\n\nThis hands-on workshop introduces regular expressions (regex) from the ground up. After this workshop\, attendees will understand basic regular expression syntax; they will be able to apply regex syntax in common applications; they will understand when it might be appropriate to use regex; and they will be able to analyze their own workflows and adapt regex solutions to support them. \n\n\n\nTuesday\, August 4\, 2026\, 11:00am-1pm (British Columbia) \n\n\n\nPresenter: Kamal Abou Mikhael

SUMMARY:TEI 2026: Ending Your Digital Project
DESCRIPTION: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 archivable data and an archivable project\, and the importance of preserving the latter as well as the former despite the challenges of digital dependencies. We cover practical steps to “staticize” various types of site\, ask critical questions about interface\, and discuss best practices for design. The course concludes with a documentation exercise that will help participants identify the strengths and weaknesses of an edition’s documentation. \n\n\n\nThe workshop will be co-taught between members of the Endings Project team (Holmes\, Jenstad\, Takeda). Participants will leave with a detailed Endings-compliant project plan for a specific project version\, with timelines\, a list of requirements\, potential outputs\, and an archiving strategy to plan\, develop\, build\, release\, and archive your digital project in maximally sustainable ways. \n\n\n\nPresenters: J.

SUMMARY:TEI 2026: Navigating and Processing Data from the TEI with XPath and XSLT
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n\n\nKnowing how to locate and explore data in your encoding can help to learn how to work with TEI and XML generally. This half-day workshop is designed for people who have some experience with TEI and seek to learn how to work with XML markup for analysis and research. Participants will gain a working\, practical knowledge of the query language XPath and the transformation language XSLT\, and learn how these can help to reduce reliance on software\, packages and plugins that may become obsolete without warning. Further\, XSLT’s functional programming can serve as a way of articulating research questions around a document data model expressed in XML. \n\n\n\nThe emphasis of our workshop is ”pull-processing”\, that is\, extracting data and metadata from markup documents for analysis\, as opposed to providing the reading view of a digital scholarly edition. Markup in documents supplies structures and contexts that are especially useful for processing data\, beyond what we can do with so-called “plain text”. We will demonstrate some basic XPath navigation and calculation functions\, and then show how XPath is applied in XSLT templates to address specific nodes that hold data of interest for visualization. \n\n\n\nWe will process TEI documents composed in various languages represented by our workshop members’ projects\, to show that the code we write is transferable to multiple projects across language and cultural borders. \n\n\n\nParticipants will learn how to “pull” data from TEI and output text formats required for simple online tools\, where the structure of the output data is transferable to many different online calculation programs and amenable to statistical processing. During the workshop we will produce some simple structured documents for storing\, sharing\, and visualizing data: HTML lists and tables as well as plain text tabulated data (CSV or TSV files)\, and (if we have time) simple SVG bar or line graphs. \n\n\n\nWe hope to process some participant-supplied XML before\, during\, and after the workshop. We will carefully document the XSLT that we supply during the workshop to assist participants with revising and adapting the code to their own projects. \n\n\n\nThe workshop material – including documentation\, exercise examples and solutions – will be made available in a publicly and permanently accessible GitHub repository. \n\n\n\nOutline: \n\n\n\n\nReview and refresh understanding of XML tree structures\n\n\n\nOrientation to XPath\n\n\n\nTeach basic XSLT to produce simple outputs ready for analysis and visualization. This includes:\n\n\n\nXML identity transformations to make changes to your markup systematically\,\n\n\n\nXML transformations to HTML that apply simple “push processing”: to show how to work with XSLT templates that process and transform most of your nodes.\n\n\n\nXML transformations for “pull processing”: isolating and exploring data from your markup to make charts in HTML and visualizations in SVG.\n\n\n\nWhile learning XSLT\, participants gain experience with simple HTML elements and structures for informational outputs. If time\, we will provide orientation to SVG elements for simple graphics.\n\n\n\n\nRoom/Materials Required: \n\n\n\n\nParticipants should bring laptop computers if possible.\n\n\n\nInstructors can provide complementary 90- or 120-day licenses for the oXygen XML Editor\n\n\n\n\nThis event is in partnership with SFU Library Research Commons. \n\n\n\nPresenter(s): E.

SUMMARY:TEI 2026: Scholarly Communications and Discoverability
DESCRIPTION: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 editions\, digital exhibits\, TEI-encoded texts\, interactive maps\, and visualizations. Further\, despite shifts away from list-style curriculum vitae (CVs)\, there remains little clarity around how DH/DS activities and outputs should be reported in a researcher’s CV. In this hands-on workshop\, we will address both of these issues. We will begin by addressing scholarly technologies that enable the discovery\, preservation\, and publishing of DH/DS outputs\, discussing ways that researchers can make their research legible and durable (e.g.\, persistent identifiers\, metadata\, repositories). We will then discuss strategies for reporting DH/DS and knowledge mobilization activities and outputs in list-style and narrative-style CVs\, including tools and approaches to demonstrating the value and impact of this work within and beyond the academy. \n\n\n\nWorkshop audience: Researchers at all stages (students\, faculty\, and staff) who are engaged in DH/DS practices \n\n\n\nLearning outcomes: At the end of this workshop\, you will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nEmploy strategies for ensuring the long-term discoverability of digital scholarly editions and TEI-encoded texts\n\n\n\nConfidently seek recognition for your DH/DS activities and outputs\n\n\n\nAccess tools & approaches for reporting your DH/DS and knowledge mobilization activities\n\n\n\nEffectively track and report your DH/DS outputs\n\n\n\n\nPre-requisites: Please bring a copy of your CV to this workshop\, as well as examples of your DH/DS activities and outputs \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker: Ali Moore is a Digital Scholarship Librarian in the Research Commons at Simon Fraser University. Ali’s areas of expertise include open scholarship\, responsible research assessment\, and researcher online presence. She is a co-investigator on a scoping review exploring how knowledge mobilization is reported in CVs (and how tenure and promotion committees evaluate it)\, and a co-investigator in the health and well-being research cluster of The Arts Impact Partnership\, a national coalition reimagining how we understand the impact of the arts. She serves as a member of the SFU Canadian Institute for Studies in Publishing and is a co-convenor of the Association of Research Libraries Engaged Scholarship and Societal Impact Interest Group. \n\n\n\nPresenter: A.

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

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: 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: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: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
