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 :)

Now Daniel Balogh presents challenges of inscriptions in the Dharma project https://dharma.hypotheses.org/ What can Indic epigraphy learn from the Graeco-Roman classics (and #EpiDoc #TEI) and where does it need to go beyond?
DHARMA project ERC n° 809994 – The Domestication of “Hindu” Asceticism and the Religious Making of South and Southeast Asia.

Pleiades: A community-built gazetteer and graph of ancient places

Pleiades gives scholars, students, and enthusiasts worldwide the ability to use, create, and share historical geographic information about the ancient world in digital form.

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.
