        Subject: Workshop: Create and Showcase Your Digital Critical Edition

[From:   Chantal Pivetta <00006ab126bd9dd8-dmarc-request@JISCMAIL.AC.UK>]

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to kindly bring to your attention the workshop Create and
Showcase Your Digital Critical Edition: A Step-by-Step Guide with
Digital Philology for Dummies (DPhD) and Edition Visualization
Technology (EVT) – DHNB
<https://dhnb.eu/conferences/dhnb2025/workshops/create-and-showcase-your-digital-critical-edition/>
conducted by Prof. Roberto Rosselli Del Turco (University of Turin), 
Renato Caenaro (CEO of SilentWave SRLS) and Chantal Pivetta 
(University of Lund). The workshop will take place in *Tartu on 
March 4, 2025*, during the DHNB2025 conference, "Digital Dreams 
and Practices." I apologize for the short notice, but registration is 
still open in case anyone is interested.

During the workshop, we will work together on diplomatic and synoptic
digital editions, as well as on digital critical editions! The workshop
is open to anyone interested in digital scholarly editions or in the
transcription of texts in XML/TEI format, as well as their visualization
and navigability. Beginners eager to learn are welcome, as are experts
who can take advantage of the more advanced and newly introduced
features of the tools presented.

Everyone is welcome—just bring your laptop!

Workshop Outcomes

Participants in this workshop will gain practical skills in
transcribing, encoding, and visualizing digital texts using Digital
Philology for Dummies (DPhD) and Edition Visualization Technology (EVT).
They will complete a prototype digital edition that can serve as a
foundation for future projects and acquire a comprehensive understanding
of the Digital Scholarly Edition (DSE) workflow.

In detail:

  1. Transcription and Encoding Skills: Learn how to transcribe and
     encode texts, including manuscripts and printed materials, using
     Digital Philology for Dummies (DPhD). This skill is essential for
     creating accurate digital editions that preserve the textual and
     structural nuances of original documents.
  2. Familiarity with TEI Standards: Gain a foundational understanding of
     the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) standards, widely used in digital
     humanities for encoding textual features. This knowledge will be
     valuable for future digital editing projects.
  3. Mastering Edition Visualization Technology (EVT): Develop
     proficiency in using EVT to display and interact with encoded texts.
     Key skills include:
       * Integrating transcriptions with high-quality images
       * Visualizing textual variants
       * Navigating through different layers of the text
  4. Creating User-Friendly Digital Editions: By the end of the workshop,
     you will know how to produce digital editions that are both accurate
     and accessible, making them ideal for academic research and teaching.
  5. A Practical Digital Edition: Engage in hands-on work with provided
     materials and software throughout the workshop, resulting in a
     practical digital edition that you can take away as a prototype.
     This will serve as a foundation for developing more advanced
     editions or incorporating your own research materials.
  6. Application to Future Projects: Reflect on how the methods and tools
     presented in the workshop can be applied to your research projects,
     helping you plan and implement your own digital scholarly editions.
