This five-day course combines in-depth coverage of the latest version of
the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines for the encoding of
digital text with hands-on practical exercises (using oXygen) in their
application. If you are a project manager, research assistant, or
encoder working on any kind of project concerned with the creation or
management of digital text, this course is for you.
You should be generally computer literate (web, email, word-processors)
for this course. You may already be broadly familiar with the idea of
textual editing, perhaps (but not necessarily) with some experience of
producing HTML web pages, or of traditional scholarly editing. You
should be enthusiastic about the possibilities offered by digital
technologies and keen to learn more. You should be prepared to get your
hands dirty at the keyboard and you should not be afraid of a little
technical jargon.
At the end of the course we hope to have given you:
1. a good grounding in the theoretical issues underlying the use of
text markup, XML in particular;
2. an understanding of the purpose and principles of the Text
Encoding Initiative;
3. a survey of the full range of modules constituting the TEI's
current Recommendations;
4. experience of how the TEI scheme can be customized for particular
applications, and internationalized for different languages.
5. an introduction to some of the tools and methods in which TEI
documents are published and processed
Using OUCS' excellent teaching facilities, we will also provide you with
practical experience in:
* using online tools to build, verify, and document a TEI-conformant
schema
* using XML editing software to
o create new encoded texts
o standardize existing digital texts
* using a variety of web-based and desktop tools to display and
analyse TEI documents
The course will be taught by the TEI@Oxford team: Lou Burnard, James
Cummings, and Sebastian Rahtz, with the assistance of other invited TEI
experts.

Hi,
I want to distribute set of sample XML files and XSLT transformations. I
can create project and if I create per-project transformation scenarios
those scenarios are saved to project file. But I also want to maintain
association between files and transformation scenarios that should be
applied on them. However oXygen stores such association against absolute
URL of file which doesn't work when project and all files are moved to
different computer into different folder. I have tried to modify project
file manually to use relative paths and variables like ${pdu}, but
oXygen was not able to recognize association then.
Is it possible to achieve this in oXygen 10.2?
TIA,
Jirka
