A Baker-Nord Digital Humanities Event
The Workshop will run 4-6 March 2015. Participants should plan to attend all three days.

This three-day workshop is designed for individuals who are contemplating embarking on a text-encoding project, or for those who would like to better understand the philosophy, theory, and practicalities of encoding in XML (Extensible Markup Language) using the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines. No prior experience with XML is assumed, but the course will move quickly through the basics.
Cost of the workshop is:
- Free for CWRU Students, Faculty, and Staff
- $30 for non-CWRU Students
- $150 for non-CWRU Faculty and Staff
You must sign up and pay in advance to attend. Individuals registering through the BNC website will be contacted for payment arrangements closer to the event date.
