Subject: EpiDoc Workshop, London, April 22-25, 2013

We invite applications for a 4-day training workshop on digital

text-markup for epigraphic and papyrological editing, to be held in the

Institute for Classical Studies, London. The workshop will be taught by

Gabriel Bodard (KCL), James Cowey (Heidelberg), Simona Stoyanova (KCL)

and Charlotte Tupman (KCL). There will be no charge for the teaching,

but participants will have to arrange their own travel and

accommodation.

EpiDoc (epidoc.sf.net) is a set of guidelines for using TEI XML

(tei-c.org) for the encoding of inscriptions, papyri and other ancient

documentary texts. It has been used to publish digital projects

including the Inscriptions of Aphrodisias and Tripolitania, the US

Epigraphy Project, Vindolanda Tablets Online and Curse Tablets from

Roman Britain, Pandektis (inscriptions of Macedonia and Thrace), and the

Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri. The workshop will introduce

participants to the basics of XML and markup and give hands-on

experience of tagging textual features and object description in EpiDoc

as well as use of the tags-free Papyrological Editor (papyri.info/editor).

No technical skills are required to apply, but a working knowledge of

Greek or Latin, epigraphy or papyrology and the Leiden Conventions will

be assumed. The workshop is open to participants of all levels, from

graduate students to professors or professionals.

To apply for a place on this workshop please email

gabriel.bodard@kcl.ac.uk with a brief description of your reason for

interest and summarising your relevant skills and background, by Friday

March 1st, 2013.
