And I didn't post for the other days, because we did too much and I got too exhausted!
Nevertheless, I would say the #OsloSummerSchool for #SustainableDSE was a success 🙌 !
Proud and enthused by the final presentations: how much participants learned & explored in only a week, most of them starting from scratch, never having seen an XML file or the #TEIGuidelines. They used both #TEIPublisher & #EVT for publication.
💻 We will follow up with a weekly #EncodingLab, open for all in the Oslo area!
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 :)
✍️ Fresh on the #Blog
"From Questionnaire to Interview: Mapping Scholarly Editions at the University of Oslo and Beyond"
In a previous blog post (June 2024), we discussed launching a comprehensive survey to map Digital Scholarly Editions (DSEs) at the University of Oslo and cultural heritage and research institutions in the greater Oslo area. We finished our survey only a few weeks ago, but along the way, we have had to change our approach. […]
🧬⌛ Well, it turns out that I cannot clone myself nor travel through time…
💬 The analysis of 17 90-minute interviews on practices of scholarly editions will have to be extended. There is no chance I can get this done by June.
💼 I will instead prioritise hiring a new student assistant who will start in August and organise a social event for the #SustainableDSE network.
✉️ And work on the presentation for the upcoming conference on #Briefkulturen #LetterCultures #Correspondences in Berlin.
📣 We are hosting the first #SustainableDSE summer school from 22 to 26 September 2025 for people in Oslo and Norway.
"Create a Digital Scholarly Edition From Scratch"

💬 All done!
I have just conducted the final interview in our series on (digital) scholarly editing practices.
My team and I have conducted 17 interviews over nine months, mapping the status quo of scholarly editing at the University of Oslo and other Oslo-based cultural heritage and higher education institutions.
Now, it's time to analyse and write the report, which will inform our feasibility study for building and implementing an infrastructure for #SustainableDSE at the University Library.
