June 21–23, 2022, Rome
Instructors: Elina Boeva (Sofia), Marta Fogagnolo (Bologna), with guest appearances from Gabriel Bodard (London) and Paolo Monella (Roma)
This workshop will give students the opportunity to practice EpiDoc using their own inscriptions from the CARMEN project, or elsewhere, with a series of guided exercises, and live support from the instructors. Rather than tuition in new materials, this event seeks to consolidate previously acquired skills in text encoding and epigraphic markup through hands-on practice, questions and help. Your questions and encoding needs will dictate the content of the workshop.
- Make sure you have the Oxygen XML Editor installed on your laptop, with a valid license (either a 30-day trial license, or if that has already expired, a full license paid for by your project)
- Download the EFES visualisation tool (click on the green "Code" button and then "Download ZIP"), and follow the Installation insstructions to be sure it works on your computer. Pay particular attention to the Java Version step. Please let us know before the workshop if you have any problems with this.
- Have headphones that you can use with your laptop, to watch video tutorials without bothering everyone else.
- You should each bring at least 10–20 of your own inscriptions, whether carmina epigraphica or anything else that you have worked on, to practice with during the workshop
- If you already have questions about EpiDoc, please bring them along to share with the group at the workshop
- If you need to revise basic EpiDoc skills, see the videos section below for some online tutorials
