The Institute for Textual Scholarship and Electronic Editions,
Birmingham, is hosting three workshops from September 22 to September
25 this year. Two are these are one day workshops:
1. Tuesday 22 September: ‘SDPublisher: a new and different XML
publishing system’ This workshop will present a hands-on introduction
to SDPublisher, the new XML publishing system developed by people
associated with ITSEE and Scholarly Digital Editions: see www.sd-editions.com/SDPublisher
.
2. Wednesday 23 September: ‘The Virtual Manuscript Room: linking
resources and scholarship on the web’. This workshop will introduce
the concepts behind the Virtual Manuscript Room project, and their
implementation in the project, with particular emphasis on the use of
metadata in the project to link together manuscript images,
transcripts and resources related to them.
More details of both workshops can be found at http://itsee.bham.ac.uk/vmr/ITSEEworkshops.htm
.
The third is a two day workshop, on the subject of "Tools for
Collaborative Scholarly Editing over the Web", on Thursday 24 and
Friday 25 September. The first day, "Actions: the State of the Art"
on Thursday 24 September, will be open to all: in this,
representatives of projects around the world will give presentations
on what they have done, are doing, or plan to do, to develop tools for
collaborative scholarly editing over the Web. The second day,
'Problems and Futures' on Friday 25 September, will be a series of
discussions on, firstly, three key emerging problem areas
(intellectual property/scholarly authority; sustainability and
interoperability), and, secondly, on the possible shapes of scholarly
editing in the world to come. Attendance at this second day will be
by invitation only, with numbers restricted. More details of this
workshop can be found at http://itsee.bham.ac.uk/vmr/toolscfp.htm.
Attendance at all workshops is open to all (with the restriction to
invitees for the Friday 25 September). We have funding from the JISC
(the Virtual Manuscript Room) and from the European Science Foundation
(through the InterEdition project) and so are able to offer the
workshops without charge. We are interested in hearing from anyone
who would like to present work they are doing in relation to
collaborative editing tools on Thursday 24th, and from anyone who
believes that they have something to contribute to the discussions on
Friday 25th.
Limited cheap accommodation is available close to the workshop venues
(in the Orchard Learning Resource Centre, Selly Oak) for those who act
quickly. We may be able to offer assistance with travel and
accommodation, particularly to people giving presentations on Thursday
24th and taking part in the discussions on Friday 25th.
