Applicants should submit their bio and a short proposal presenting their background and interest in the field. The description of a concrete project involving linguistic data that they would like to work on during the training sessions will also be considered in the selection. All documents should be sent as a single PDF-file attachment labelled as “Last Name_DHWorkshopFU.pdf” to Dr. Simona Olivieri simona.olivieri@fu-berlin.de.

Attendees will be required to bring their laptops and sample data to the training sessions, so to be able to work on the application of the methodologies presented by the instructors.

Participation is free of charge.

Program

The workshop will be articulated in a number of training sessions: the instructors will first present the digital methods, and then attendees will work on the application of the methods on their sample data.

Main topics of the working sessions will be:

• XML/TEI markup for scholarly digital editions
• Standards-compliant creation of digital linguistic resources
• Python programming for text and TEI/XML analysis

The workshop will also feature public lectures to present Digital Humanities ongoing projects. Keynote lectures will be given by Simona Olivieri (FU Berlin) together with Giuliano Lancioni (Roma Tre University), Karlheinz Mörth (Director of the Austrian Center for Digital Humanities – Austrian Academy of Sciences), and George Kiraz (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton / Beth Mardutho)
