TEI Workshop: mark-up and scholarship Yale's Bass Library was the location for a 3-day workshop on the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI http://www.tei-c.org/index.xml) led by Julia Flanders and Syd Bauman from Brown University for librarians, archivists, scholars, editors, and digital humanists. The TEI workshop included hands-on practice, presentation, and discussion during which the attendees learned the essentials of TEI markup and discovered how markup languages such as TEI can support scholarship in the digital age. The workshop was organized by Yale University Library's Standing Committee on Professional Awareness (SCOPA) and the Yale Digital Humanities Working Group, with the support of the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. The instructors work for Brown University's Women Writers Project, a research and publication project focusing on early women's writing in English that is part of the Center for Digital Scholarship at Brown.
