Week 1, Day 3: Wednesday, July 13, 2022
Synopsis
Moving from model to implementation. The third day is devoted to developing the digital editing workflow as a computational pipeline. Session one extends the command line skills introduced Tuesday. In session two we discuss applications of modeling to our laboratory edition, explore alternatives to TEI, and encode a sample document together. In the afternoon, we return to XQuery to create our first computational step in the pipeline. In a special topic session, Patrick Juola introduces stylometry as an example of integrating statistical description and evaluation into the perspectives exposed within an edition.
Outcome goals
- Practice file management at the command line.
- Push your personal repository to GitHub.
- Practice Git at the command line.
- Navigate enabling and enforcing schema paradigms.
- Make explicit our assumptions about TEI, our data, markup decisions, and edition goals.
- Explore the relationship between research questions and markup decisions.
- Consider how the laboratory edition data might look different with different research questions and markup.
- Explore how data models and the computational pipeline work together.
- Create our first computational pipeline together.

We’ll end each day with a request for feedback, based on a general version of the day’s outcome goals, and we’ll try to adapt on the fly to your responses. Links to the feedback forms are in our Slack workspace in the #daily-feedback channel (posting from Mason on Mon, July 11).
