Stylo: a semantic text editor | Stylo, un éditeur de texte sémantique
2024-02-14 00:00 - 23:59 | British Columbia
Date: 14 February 2024

We’ll be presenting the main features of Stylo, a web-accessible semantic text editor for writing in the humanities and social sciences. Since the project’s launch in 2017, one of its objectives has been to provide a tool capable of changing and improving the academic publishing chain, particularly the workflow of journals in the humanities and social sciences.

Stylo is based on a principle known as single source publishing: from a single source Stylo can produce different objects in various formats such as HTML, PDF, XML. The implementation of this principle relies first and foremost on a WYSIWYM (What you see is what you mean) interface and the use of three formats to manipulate the source: Markdown for body text, YAML to serialize metadata and BibTeX to structure bibliographic references.

In this workshop, we’ll show how to create and write text in Stylo, as well as the various functions for manipulating the elements that will form the source of our documents, which we can then export in a variety of formats.

À l’occasion de cet atelier pour les HSS Winter Series, nous présenterons les principales fonctionnalités de l’outil Stylo, un éditeur de texte sémantique accessible sur le Web et destiné à l’écriture en sciences humaines et en lettres, afin d’en assurer la prise en main.

Depuis les débuts du projet en 2017, l’un des objectifs poursuivis est de fournir un outil capable de changer et d’améliorer la chaîne de publication académique, notamment le flux de travail des revues en SHS.

Stylo repose sur un principe nommé single source publishing : à partir d’une seule source, Stylo peut produire différents objets en divers formats tels que HTML, PDF, XML.

L’implémentation de ce principe passe d’abord par une interface WYSIWYM (What you see is what you mean) et l’emploi de trois formats pour manipuler la source : le Markdown pour le corps de texte, le YAML pour sérialiser les métadonnées et le BibTeX pour structurer les références bibliographiques.

Lors de cet atelier, nous verrons ensemble comment créer et rédiger un texte dans Stylo ainsi que les différentes fonctionnalités pour manipuler les éléments qui constitueront la source de nos documents que nous pourrons ensuite exporter en divers formats.

The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) | Le Text Encoding Initiative (TEI)
2024-02-14 00:00 - 23:59 | British Columbia
Date: 14 February 2024

This workshop will introduce the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI): the de facto standard in the humanities for creating digital texts. In this workshop, we will discuss the scholarly and technical affordances are of using the TEI, answering why it is that so many digital humanities resources—including Early English Books Online (EEBO), Eighteenth Century Collections Online, and the Women Writers Project—use TEI to enrich their digital archives. We will also discuss the wide variety of tools and platforms built by the TEI community for creating, sustaining, and publishing TEI encoded texts. No prior experience with markup languages, text encoding, or the digital humanities necessary.

3D Visualization
2024-02-16 00:00 - 23:59 | British Columbia
Date: 16 February 2024

3D visualization has been used in traditional scientific computing for several decades to visualize the results of multidimensional numerical simulations. In humanities, 3D visualizations have been mostly restricted to specialized areas such as game engines, architectural renderings, virtual environments, photogrammetric processing, and visualization of point cloud data. In this short course, we will use the 3D space to visualize differences in vocabularies in a given set of texts as 3D scatter plots and 3D graphs — think of this as an extension of traditional 2D plotting to the third dimension, where now you can suddenly visualize much bigger datasets. This lecture-style course will have many live demos you can try running on your computer after the course.

Instructors include Wikipedia assignments in the classroom as a method of experiential education and researchers use it to mobilize knowledge and drive research impact. Instructors: Alexandra Wong, John Dupuis, William Denton.

Join the Libraries for a discussion to share how you could use Wikipedia, do use it, or would like to.

Safeguarding yourself online
2024-03-06 00:00 - 23:59 | York University, 4700 Keele Street, Toronto, Ontario, M3J 1P3, Canada
Date: 6 March 2024

As graduate students or faculty members, we are often asked to make our research visible, have an active online profile, and engage with other academics in social media circles. However, the push for engaged, online public scholarship is sometimes at odds with what we know of online behaviour: the subject of your research may make you a target for online harassment, doxxing, and other forms of abuse. This workshop provides a sobering glimpse into the nature of research harassment and provides an empowering approach to managing your risk and online safety through the use of threat modelling and strategic action. Instructor: Kris Joseph.

Participants in this workshop may also be interested in the “Safeguarding your Research Data: Privacy and Security Tools” session on February 28.
