  1. EpiDocHistory, goals, tools Dr Gabriel Bodard, Simona Stoyanova Institute of Classical Studies, University of London Elli Mylonas Brown University

  2. EAGLE Commission

  3. EAGLE • 1999 Silvio Panciera, AIEGL Commission for Epigraphy and Information Technology: • Èimportantechesianoutilizzatiprogrammicheconsentanol'esportazionedeidocumenti in “Document Type Definition (DTD) format”.

  4. AWMC

  5. AWMC • 2000 Tom Elliott, Hugh Cayless, Amy Hawkins, Ancient World Mapping Center (UNC-CH) • EpiDoc Guidelines, version 1

  6. History of EpiDoc: prior art • EpiDoc recommended use of TEI • SGML/XML for literary/linguistic corpora since 1988 • Based on Leiden distinctions (1931) • EAGLE / Krummrey-Panciera 1980/Panciera 1991 • EAGLE fields • EDR / EDH / PETRAE etc. • Expanded for neighbouring disciplines • Papyrology • Other ancient inscribed objects (seals, coins…) • Other scripts (Mycenaean, Cuneiform, Mayan…)

  7. Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) • An XML language designed for the encoding of literary and historical texts, used and supported by a large community of humanities researchers • EpiDoc is a “customization” of TEI, therefore is able to participate and benefit from the larger community

  10. Papyri.info

  11. EAGLE Europeana Network

  12. EAGLE Europeana Network • Migrate more epigraphic datasets • Bi-directional conversion • Community involvement • Wikimedia/Wikidata • Translations • Image identification • Community outreach/contribution • Vocabularies — linked open data

  13. http://wiki.digitalclassicist.org/EpiDoc_Summer_School

  14. Assumptions • Epigraphy and/or papyrology • Leiden Conventions • Greek and/or Latin • Or other traditions • No tech background required

  15. This week you will learn: • XML basics • Well-formedness • Validation • Use of XML editor • How we map TEI to epigraphic edition • How we map TEI to Leiden Conventions • Basic use of EFES publication platform • EpiDoc Guidelines & community resources

  16. EpiDoc Tools • Guidelines • Example XSLT • Converters • (CHETC, SoSOL, crosswalks, Transcoder) • EAGLE Storytelling app • Search and browse environments • Papyri.info / IDEs • Kiln / EFES • Editing environments • SoSOL / Perseids / Tiglio • EAGLE (WikiData / WikiMedia Commons)

  18. EpiDoc Conformance Epigraphic Texts: Leiden Conformance • All sigla and epigraphic distinctions expressed in XML • at least in the epigraphic text  • Adherence to EpiDoc Guidelines Epigraphic Metadata: EAGLE Conformance • All metadata required by relevant database (EDR, EDH, EDB, etc.) tagged according to EpiDoc recommendations http://www.stoa.org/epidoc/gl/5/conformance.html

  19. EpiDoc vs Epigraphy

  20. Teaching Materials • Slideshows, examples, tutorials • All multi-authored, CC-BY licensed • Pool of trainers • (UK, France, Germany, Italy, USA, Bulgaria, Norway, + + +) • Project-funded • Mini-workshops at conferences • London April workshop at ICS

  21. Encoding made me an epigrapher! • Pay attention to • What you're saying • What you mean • What you know/guess/extrapolate • What you want to index/encode • Publish scientifically • Make data and methodology available • Images • Apparatus criticus • Links to comparanda and secondary sources

  22. Encoding made me an epigrapher! • Take responsibility for • Readings • Measurements • Publication • Give credit for • Readings • Contributions • Encoding

  23. Future plans • EFES — EpiDoc Front-End Services • Advanced training • IDEs • Integrated editing environments • Shared bibliographies • Localised guidelines

  24. Text encoding Document analysis: • Identify the structure of your text (you might draw a tree diagram to help visualise and plan) = structural markup • Think about what information you want to be able to represent or search for within the document = semantic markup Metadata: • Who is responsible for creating the document? • Where did the document come from and where is it now? • Is there any bibliographical information related to the document? • How has it been digitised (e.g. converted from another format, or ‘born digital’)?

  25. Markup • Renditional markup captures appearance: • <i>menssana in corpore sano</i> • <i>The Roman Stonecutter</i> • This could <i>just</i> belong to… • Semantic markup captures meanings: • <foreign>menssana in corpore sano</foreign> • <title>The Roman Stonecutter</title> • This could <emph>just</emph> belong to…

  26. Structure of an XML document

  27. XML syntax • Nesting of elements <b><i>some text</i></b> • Overlapping <b><i>some text</b></i>

  28. XML syntax • Elements may have attributes: <elementattribute=“value”>content</element> e. g.: <cityname="Montevideo">capital of Uruguay</city> <coordtype=“latitude”>-7.175</coord> • Comments are useful for documenting <!-- comment here -->

  29. Leiden conventions and EpiDoc Leiden is also a markup language: Mapping Leiden to EpiDoc:
