Date: 
23 June 2021 - 13:30 to 15:30
Location: 
LIBER 2021 Online Conference

 

At LIBER 2021 Online Conference, CLARIN and SSHOC will offer a webinar showcasing how SSH researchers can benefit from the resources and services offered by SSH research infrastructures in order to produce and exploit highly encoded historical textual data. After the webinar, the participants will be able to successfully guide and advise SSH researchers (with a particular focus on literature studies) in their choice amongst existing resources and tools, based on their research question.

 

The participants will be able to:

  • learn about the Text Encoding Initiative format (TEI) which is widely adopted in SSH for the XML-based mark-up of textual documents; and see its potential benefits on concrete examples;
  • learn how to explore and visualise TEI collections with the help of tools and services offered by CLARIN and SSHOC;
  • see how to optimize research workflows with the help of SSH Open Marketplace (SSHOC).

 

The use case will be based on ongoing work carried out within the SSHOC project (WP3) on a corpus of theatrical play texts from the 17th and 18th century covering examples in three languages (English, French, and Spanish). The webinar will also include a hands-on part which will allow the participants to test proposed methods, resources and tools.
