    1997 CETH Summer Workshop on SGML and the TEI: Making Text Work July 27 to August 1, 1997 Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey

    Due to continuing demand, the application deadline for the 1997 CETH Summer Workshop has been extended to Monday, June 2. Applications continue to be accepted on a rolling basis, but space is limited, please do not delay.

    "The CETH Summer Workshop will have both an introductory and an advanced track. Plenary sessions will concentrate on topics that (we believe) are worth coming to even for people who have heard them discussed before. Breakout sessions in the advanced track will cover topics that make no sense to beginners but which may be useful to active users of TEI or other SGML tag sets. We think this will be the first systematically planned *advanced* TEI instruction anywhere."

    --Gregory Murphy CETH

    The 1997 CETH Summer Workshop is an intensive, one-week course of study that focuses on the application of SGML (the Standard Generalized Markup Language) and the TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) encoding scheme in the humanities. The Workshop is open to beginning and advanced users alike. The goal is to provide in-depth coverage of the fundamentals of electronic document markup, and issues related to the use of SGML and the TEI in practice.

    There will be opportunity for beginners to learn the basics of document markup using SGML. A number of topical sessions aimed at all levels of expertise will cover the use of the TEI core and additional tag sets, document analysis, project management, and on- and off-line delivery. Advanced users will have the opportunity to explore other subjects, including, but not limited to: modifying and extending the TEI DTD; designing hypertext and other forms of linking; working with different character sets; and writing programs to support SGML.

    Sessions will be evenly divided between lecture and hands-on work. Participants will be encouraged to pursue work on their own projects in supervised labs. Time will be allotted for one-on-one consultations between participants and instructors. There will be a wide range of commercial, free- and share-ware SGML software used in the classroom and available for experimentation in the laboratory.
