Module structure - milnegeneseo/digital-scholarly-editing GitHub Wiki

Here's a first pass at organizing our modules, proposed by Nick, with some minor modifications from Paul.

Module 1: Introduction

Leads: Beth, Caroline, Fiona
Paul will write about why/how we've created these modules as OER

  • What is scholarly editing?
  • The role of the scholarly editor
  • Traditional vs. digital scholarly editing

Module 2: Designing a scholarly edition

Leads: Beth, Caroline, Fiona

  • Mission
  • Goals
  • Audience

Module 3: Project management and sustainability

Lead: Paul, with some intrusion from Elisa :-)

  • Collaboration! (We presuppose that digital scholarly work is usually / best done in collaboration.)
  • What resources do projects need? (Elisa is eager to write this part.)
  • Slack
  • Git and GitHub
  • Other tools

Module 4: Introducing the Text Encoding Initiative and document data modeling

Lead: Elisa

Support (Thoreau examples) from Beth, Paul, and the targeted sections of the TEI Guidelines

-Fluid text TEI model vs. MS surface and zone. Discussion and examples and questions.

Module 5: Text Encoding for digital scholarly editions

Leads: Nick, Elisa, Rebecca
Support (Thoreau examples) from Beth, Paul

  • Data Modeling and TEI Customization/Schemas (Rebecca)
  • Transcription (what are major strategies and when/why implement different ones; Nick with help from a Thoreau scholar?)
    • diplomatic approaches
    • critical editing
    • genetic editing (this one could be integrated with a history of the Thoreau texts, and maybe a more general module on textual criticism as it relates to Thoreau that Beth mentioned)
  • Annotation (Nick with help from a Thoreau scholar?)
    • textual annotations (when/how to explain transcription and editorial choices)
    • contextual annotations (when/how to explain the contents or imports of content such as people, places, events, etc., as well as more abstract or complicated things like varius -isms and theories being discussed, etc.)

Module 6: Processing marked-up content

Leads: Elisa, Nick, Rebecca

  • generating indexes, tables of contents, etc. to create different views and uses for previously encoded content
  • centralizing references, such as placeography, personography, glossaries, etc.
  • regex and upconverting documents using existing patterns and encoding
  • transforming TEI files into other formats (html, e-book, pdf, etc.)
  • transforming TEI files into derivative works (timelines, maps, graphs, etc.)

Module 7: Publishing a digital edition

Issues to consider for web publishing

Module 8: Suggestions for classroom use

Leads: Fiona, Rebecca, Paul

How to use the modules, teaching tips, TEI as pedagogical tool, example exercises, quizzes
