Exhausted, but happy after the 2nd day of the #OsloSummerSchool for #SustainableDSE is over!

After introducing the #TEIGuidelines and other community standards, such as #EpiDoc, #MENOTA, and #DTABf, we explored project encoding documentation and guidelines together with our team of instructors: Elli Mylonas, Floriane Chiffoleau, Roberto Rosselli DelTurco, Renato Caenaro, Karl Farrugia, Chantal Pivetta, and me.

Inspired by our participants' enthusiasm!

1st day of the #OsloSummerSchool for #SustainableDSE successfully ended!

After an intro to Digital Scholarly Editions and the role of Sustainability, we familiarised ourselves w/ #XML and the #OxygenXMLEditor.
Tomorrow, we will explore the #TEIGuidelines and other community standards like #EpiDoc and #Menota

With 16 participants from a wide array of disciplines, 7 instructors from all over the world, and perfect Oslo autumn weather, it feels like a deluxe retreat for nerds and geeks :)

Word has come from a friend in London that Joyce M. Reynolds, D.Litt Cambridge, the eminent epigraphist has died this morning, aged 103. An experimenter and early skeptic of computational methods in #epigraphy, later in her career, Reynolds became an influential figure in the adoption of XML (#TEI and #EpiDoc) for epigraphic publication.

Sit tibi terra levis.

@SylviaFysica Thanks for this!

FWIW and OT (#DigitalHumanities): this slipperiness is why, for #TEI #EpiDoc and for the #PleiadesGazetteer, we settled (after much wrangling) on only: "certain", "less certain", and "uncertain", enshrining these in controlled vocabularies for data entry. A colleague described anything else as "specious exactitude". Corresponds to prior art in text editing: appending a question mark to a "less-certain" assertion and making verbose caveat about an "uncertain" one.
