Project Overview

The TEI by Example';this.style.color = '#ff0000';" onMouseOut = "this.innerHTML = 'TEI by Example';this.style.color = '#000000';">TEI by Example (TBE) is an initiative to spread theTEI recommendations creating online tutorials. The project wasimagined by the Centre for Scholarly Editing and Document Studies(CTB) of the Royal Academy of Dutch Language and Literature, theCentre for Computing in the Humanities (CCH) of King???s CollegeLondon, and the Department of Information Studies of UniversityCollege London.

History

The TEI by Example';this.style.color = '#ff0000';" onMouseOut = "this.innerHTML = 'TEI by Example';this.style.color = '#000000';">TEI by Example (TBE) started developing tutorials in2006 guiding individuals through different stages of markup ofdocuments following TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) recommendations.An important point to start of the project was the status of theTEI model. The TEI has created a complex system to supportscholarly text encoding. However, the lack of teaching materialsdiscourages the adoption of TEI guidelines, making it difficult tomeet the expansion plan traced by the TEI consortium. Also, it wasnoticed that there???s no room for feedback or an easy channel tocommunicate with TEI Consortium, making difficult to the learnersolve issues related to these materials.

Until recently most part of the educational materials available on the TEI website came from these workshops. However, the information inside these materials is poorly designed and incomplete since it often needs a presenter to explain the context in the slides, leading to interest lost by the user.

The huge demand for introductory material makes urgent the necessity for an online TEI courses in order to promote the TEI markup framework as a legitimate tool for digital humanities, or humanities computing, and to expand it use. Currently, Learn the TEI';this.style.color = '#ff0000';" onMouseOut = "this.innerHTML = 'Learn the TEI';this.style.color = '#000000';">Learn the TEI section on the TEI website has generic tutorials and documents available to introduce parts of XML used in TEI such as TEI by Example, A Gentle Introduction to XML, and TEI Lite: Encoding for Interchange; an Introduction to the TEI.

Purpose

The TEI by Example';this.style.color = '#ff0000';" onMouseOut = "this.innerHTML = 'TEI by Example';this.style.color = '#000000';">TEI by Example (TBE) project is focused on filling anempty spot in Text Encoding Initiative training. It is an efficientinitiative to address problems based learning in a useful way todevelop or improve markup skills for those new to the TEI. In orderto develop the TBE tutorials the team had to understand technicalpossibilities and limitations afforded by the online environment,and decide how best to integrate these into the tutorialmaterials.

Producing example-based, step-by-step training modules, simulating real-life encoding issues for diverse text types, TEI by example can be a helpful way to promotes the TEI markup framework. TBE developers created a range of freely available online tutorials using the TEI guidelines. These tutorial modules covers eight different areas of electronic text encoding in order to encourage new humanists to develop their projects.

The aims of the project

*

The creation and on-line delivery of a TEI by example course for teaching TEI in higher education and workshops.
The creation and on-line delivery of a software toolkit for teaching text encoding
The documentation of the methodology, workflow and findings of the project in a project report
The deliverables of the project are:
On-line tutorials TEI by example
A printable PDF version of the tutorials TEI by example
An on-line software toolkit for text encoding
A downloadable CD-ROM image for burning off-line toolkits for use by course participants
A project report which could be published in the project reports section of LLC or DHQ, and on the ALLC website
The deliverables will be published and hosted by CCH (King's College London) under endorsement by the ALLC.

Tutorials

The project provides tutorials in eight different areas of textencoding following the guidelines developed by TEI.

0. Introduction to Text Encoding and TEI

1. Common structures and elements

8. Customising TEI, ODD, Roma
