From Gabriel Bodard:
Last week twelve professional papyrologists were trained in the use of the new SoSOL tool(*) for tags-free markup of documentary texts [see EpiDoc – Son of SOL Training Session, King’s College London]. In the process, c.100 texts were painlessly added to the Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri.
I’d like to remind people that another EpiDoc+SoSOL training week is planned as part of the DHO summer school (June 28-July 2), on which see DHO Summer School 2010. If any of you might be interested in attending this workshop (cost is €300 for students, €400 waged – we hope to have a couple bursaries to help with the cost), or in sending a student or colleague to be trained in epigraphic or papyrological markup, please write to the local organizers and/or myself as soon as possible to express your interest. Registration is still open, but we need to have a good idea of numbers in the next couple weeks.

]]>An EpiDoc – Son of SOL workshop will be held at the Center for Computing in the Humanities (King’s College, London) on March 8-13, 2010.
The aim of the workshop is to introduce participants to the use of EpiDoc Guidelines for encoding fragmentary texts preserved on stones and papyri.
For previous workshops and summer schools on the same topic, see the page in the Digital Classicist Wiki: EpiDoc Summer Schools.
