Professor Schreibman is the originator and editor of The Versioning Machine, a tool to compare and display multiple versions of text encoded according to one of the methods described in the TEI's Apparatus chapter. Professor Schreibman has been involved with the TEI community for many years, serving on both the Consortium's Board and Technical Council. She is the Coordinator of the #dariahTeach consortium. Susan Schreibman is Professor of Digital Humanities and the Director of An Foras Feasa, the Humanities Institute at Maynooth University. This begins with a brief overview of the TEI Guidelines, along with two exercises applying principles you have learned. Unit III provides opportunities to apply what you have learned in the previous units. This unit also introduces schema and DTDs, with exercises on how to model XML via a DTD Unit II delves into XML in more detail: discussing the building blocks of XML and an overview of its rules and structures. This unit focuses on XML, how it was developed, its structure and form, and the standard used in the rest of the course, the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Unit I is an introduction to textual scholarship, modelling, and markup languages: what they are, their history, and some of their uses and characteristics.

This course is divided into three main units, with each lesson further subdivided into lessons: There are also practical hands-on exercises which allow students to practice the theory learned. Rather, this course focuses on text encoding, its history and uses. While there are other equally valid ways to store, preserve, and distribute textual data (such as using a relational structure), this course will not cover those methods. It focuses on a particular method, that of text encoding, using eXtensible Markup Language (XML), and a specialised schema common to humanities research, The Text Encoding Language (TEI). This course is an introduction to the theories, practices, and methods that are used in the humanities for the encoding of texts for research, for preservation, and for online distribution.
