Subject: 1997 CETH Summer Workshop == Extended Application Deadline
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.

The CETH Summer Workshop will be held in the new Scholarly Communications
Center located in Alexander Library, on Rutgers' historic College Avenue
