For all exercises, you are encouraged to use your own texts from your project, or texts that you are interested in and know well. If you want suggestions, you may copy texts and/or descriptive data from some of the following projects:
- Epigraphic Database Heidelberg (Latin inscriptions)
- PHI Epigraphy (Greek inscriptions)
- Papyri.info (Greek Papyri)
- Inscriptions of the Northern Black Sea (mostly Greek inscriptions)
- Roman Inscriptions of Britain (Latin inscriptions)
- Collection of Greek Ritual Norms (Greek inscriptions)
- US Epigraphy project (mostly Latin inscriptions)
Details of the daily exercises follows:
-
Encode transcription features and display in EFES : take at least 5 inscriptions or papyri (more if they are all very short), create a copy of the EpiDoc Template (right-click on the link and "save link as…"), and encode the basic Leiden-like transcription features in EpiDoc. Copy your files into the
content/xml/epidoc/folder of your EFES install, and check that you can see the text in your browser. Workaround in Oxygen if you can't use EFES - Advanced transcription features : Continue practicing as above, but also find some papyri or inscriptions with more advanced features (editorial corrections, ancient scribal substitution, etc.) to encode.
- Encode history and description of object : Keep practicing all of the above, but also encode the history and description of the objects in your EpiDoc files.
- Tag indexing features : Add to your EpiDoc files encoding for features of the text or edition that it would be useful to index in your project. If these are features that are already catered for by EFES, you may (after harvesting and indexing) see whether they appear in the EFES indexes when you upload them.
Files to download and copy (right-click on the link and "save link as…"):
NB1: make a copy of the template under a new name (which should not include any spaces) before editing it, so you can have a new copy for each EpiDoc text you edit.
NB2: do not copy the schema file (tei-epidoc.rng) into the EpiDoc folder in EFES, or the programme will not be able to harvest and index properly.
