The second intensive training week, "Digital Editing: Encoding, tagging, and online publishing", introduced the students included in the DEMM project to the digital aspects of textual and manuscript editing. It consisted not only in teaching the students how to model and encode their work in TEI XML (Text Encoding Initiative - the international standard for scholarly digital editions in the Humanities), but also how to use some technologies and tools in order to display and process their encoding.
The workshop took place in in Siena under the supervision of Prof. F.
Stella. The lectures have been delivered by internationally renowned experts of DH and scholarly digital editions, including three former and current elected representatives of the Text Encoding Initiative Consortium.
The Siena week offered also a short introduction to XLST, and some cutting-edge technologies such as EVT (Edition Visualization Technology), Stemmaweb, and some methods for lexical analysis such as authorship attribution or topic individuation, immediatly applied by the students through the new lemmatized tool Lexicon.
