Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course is intended to provide a theoretical and practical introduction to XML encoding and data modelling according to the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) standard. After reviewing the empirical and theoretical framework of textual criticism, we will explore computational methods that have been devised for the creation of digital scholarly editions over the last decades. This is mainly a practice-based class: students will acquire the necessary knowledge through hands-on work and practices on both provided real-text sources and material familiar to them.

Students will be required to bring a laptop computer running either the Windows or Macintosh operating system. Please note that tablets are not suitable.

Assessment and permitted materials

Participation in class discussion and preparation, assigned exercises, one intermediate test and a final project consisting of the creation of an edition of a text of the student's choice (to be proposed and agreed beforehand) accompanied by a written paper.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Active participation in class (10%), intermediate test (30%), final project (60% comprising of edition and paper). Each performance is assessed independently. Minimum requirement for positive evaluation is a grade of 51% in each of the assessment categories.
