  1. Leiden University. The university to discover. DMT Week 3 • Adriaan van der Weel and Peter Verhaar

  2. Leiden University. The university to discover. Where do we stand?

  3. Leiden University. The university to discover. Principles of markup • HTML: • Document instance (your CV) • Stylesheet (css) • Application • Document instance (your CV) • Stylesheet (css) • DTD/Schema • Add: Prologue (XML decl.; DTD)

  4. Leiden University. The university to discover. Text and markup

  5. Leiden University. The university to discover. Knowledge representation • Structure and content • Ontology • What knowable things exist • What are the relationships that hold between them • Tree diagram • The book has structure and content: chapters, paragraphs, footnotes, etc. • XML represents structure and content • Various ontologies - various DTDs

  6. Leiden University. The university to discover. XML Basics 1 • Elements <p>...</p> • Attributes <title type=play>...</title> • Entities • Character: &#xE8; = è • General entities, referencing: • Chunks of text defined elsewhere • Text or image files, etc. • E.g., <p>The &BTCP; aims to ... </p> • Well-formedness, validation • Prologue (XML decl.; DTD)

  7. Leiden University. The university to discover. XML Basics 2 • Open standard (cf de facto standard): • Publicly available • Royalty-free • Fully and publicly documented • NB: ‘Who owns your data?’ • (Lower) ASCII and Unicode: • Platform and software independent • Software independent • Device independent

  8. Leiden University. The university to discover. Open standards 1 • Open standards in a networking world • Why? • Which? E.g., Internet Protocol Suite: • Link layer (physical/data, e.g., ethernet) • Internet layer, facilitating transport, e.g., IP • Transport layer, e.g. TCP • Application layer, e.g., HTTP, SMTP, FTP

  9. Leiden University. The university to discover. Open standards 2 • E.g.: • File format: Pdf, txt • Programming language: PHP, Linux • Style language: CSS, XSLT • Markup metalanguage: SGML, XML • Markup language: DocBook, HTML, EAD, TEI

  10. Leiden University. The university to discover. TEI basics • Text Encoding Initiative, 1987 • Text exchange in the humanities • TEI is a DTD • TEI is a collection of DTD fragments or modules • Platform and software independent (ASCII); open standard; open source • Used in an XML application (diagram) • Document ‘instances’ should be validated against the TEI DTD

  11. Leiden University. The university to discover. TEI DTD • The TEI DTD is modular. We use: • <!DOCTYPE TEI PUBLIC "-//TEI P5//DTD Main Document Type//EN" "http://www.tei-c.org/release/xml/tei/schema/dtd//tei.dtd" [ • <!ENTITY % TEI.header "INCLUDE"> • <!ENTITY % TEI.core "INCLUDE"> • <!ENTITY % TEI.textstructure "INCLUDE"> • <!ENTITY % TEI.transcr "INCLUDE"> • <!ENTITY % TEI.linking "INCLUDE"> • <!ENTITY % TEI.namesdates "INCLUDE"> • ]> • http://www.tei-c.org/release/xml/tei/schema/dtd/

  12. Leiden University. The university to discover. Why this rigmarole? • Print (‘Order of the Book’): • Author’s brain > Book > reader’s brain • Instrument: typography • Digital (‘Digital Order’?): • Author’s brain > Computer > reader’s brain • Instrument: markup • For both typography(=form) and content • So: Need to make text intelligent

  13. Leiden University. The university to discover. Using the computer / UM • Author’s brain > Computer > reader’s brain • Vary output format (paper, pdf, html, mobile phone, etc.) • Exchange • Reuse • Search and select • Count • Change content (order) and form • Etcetera

  14. Leiden University. The university to discover. New research questions? • Chris Anderson (The Long Tail), in Wired ‘The end of theory’ • But: need for hypothesis remains • But: humanities data: • Quantity: not such a wealth of data. Bitty. Discontinuous. • Quality: narrative, evaluative, ambiguous, subjective, conceptual • Who decides the agenda? Need to lead, rather than follow.
