    WORKSHOPS AT THE DIGITAL RESOURCES FOR THE HUMANITIES CONFERENCE
    University of Sheffield, Wednesday, 13 September 2000

    The following workshops have been organised as part of the Digital
    Resources for the Humanities conference. The workshops will run in
    parallel on the final day of the conference, 13 September 2000 at the
    University of Sheffield. Further information about the conference itself
    is available via http://www.shef.ac.uk/~drh2000/

    The workshop fee includes lunch, refreshments and documentation.

    PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE WORKSHOPS ARE OPEN TO PARTICIPANTS WHO ARE NOT
    ATTENDING THE MAIN CONFERENCE.

    WORKSHOP 1 (half-day, 9.30-12.30)

    Designing Flexible Digital Representations of Historical Source Materials.

    Led by the History Data Service, University of Essex.

    This workshop will discuss the methodology of creating digital
    representations of historical source materials. The workshop will focus on
    the digitisation process and the relationship between the source and the
    result of digitisation. The workshop will articulate and demonstrate the
    standards and elements of good practice relevant to the creation of a wide
    range of data types, from student projects to large-scale research
    projects. Specific software packages and data modelling techniques will
    not be discussed in detail.

    Pre-requisites: moderate level of computer-literacy, though no experience
    of digital resource creation is required.

    Cost: 30 pounds.

    WORKSHOP 2 (full-day, 9.30-4.30)

    Shared joy is double joy: putting your database on the Web.

    Led by Humanities Computing Development Team, University of
    Oxford.

    This workshop is aimed at academics, librarians, IT staff and others who
    have an interest in making a current or planned Microsoft Access database
    available over the Web. The workshop consists of a combination of short
    presentations, and guided hands-on sessions. This is a practical workshop
    that will concentrate on using Active Server Pages technology to make an
    Access database available over the web, and by the end of the day you will
    have created your own simple ASP application. An example database will be
    used throughout the course to illustrate technical and design issues.

    Pre-requisites: Basic knowledge of HTML, FTP, and experience of using
    MS-Access.

    Cost: 75 pounds.

    WORKSHOP 3 (full-day, 9.30-4.30)

    XML: the future of digital information?

    Led by Lou Burnard and Sebastian Rahtz, University of Oxford.

    This workshop aims to give you a practical grounding in the
    technology underlying the future of digital resources: the extensible
    markup language XML. The course will combine formal lecture and
    discussions on XML, XSL and related technologies together with group work
    in hands-on sessions.

    Pre-requisites: moderate level of computer-literacy and some knowledge of
    a markup language (e.g. HTML)

    Cost: 75 pounds
