- In this paper we will describe a pilot study based on two different subsets of electronic resources to be used in the Virtual Corpus system developed at the Oxford Text Archive (OTA).The Virtual Corpus system is designed to make the OTA more useful for researchers by enabling the selection of texts for a corpus on basis of metadata categories in the TEI header resource description. Currently these categories include such fields as language, date, genre, author etc. (Berglund & Wynne, 2003). In order to make the Virtual Corpus system (VC) even more useful the texts would benefit from data enhancement.This pilot study's aim is to evaluate the necessary procedures for enhancing the metadata available in the TEI header with further categories and also to explore the possibilities for migration of legacy data in a wide range of formats into a TEI-conformant XML format.

Innehållsdesign : Principer, metoder och verktyg samt tillämpningar inom utbildningshistorisk forskning och undervisning

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis explores content design – an area which encompasses the practices and the conceptions of the description, organisation and manipulation of digital content. The overall aim was to identify and examine principles, methods and tools appropriate for content design within the humanities and the social sciences. Another purpose was to investigate the limitations and opportunities of the identified methods and tools by means of modelling and applications of prosopographical materials, designed for research and teaching in history of education. The prosopographical collection consists of three different kinds of sources: transcriptions from biographical reference books, written biographical accounts and digitalised archival sources, such as enrolment registers. These resources were encoded according to the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) guidelines with the purpose to denote specific structures and semantic features of the content. The thesis demonstrates how the prosopographical collection, stored in a master file in TEI/XML format, was encoded and organised and then further transformed, migrated and manipulated by other tools and to other platforms. This resulted in several examples of applications demonstrating a broad range of uses for research and teaching in history of education and alike. One conclusion is that the TEI guidelines serve well as a valuable tool for the markup of rather complex historical materials designed for multiple purposes: for qualitative analyses, and as input to multivariate statistical analyses, and for migration into relational databases. Another conclusion is that such digital collections, provided with markup, could be treated as research tools themselves, because they lend themselves much more than simply access, retrieval or reading. In this prosopographical collection, the markup contributes to make explicit the underlying theories and thus provides scholars, teachers and students with tools to reuse and rearrange the content for other kinds of uses in other areas.

Markup of Educational Content
- 2005

Ingår i: Joint International Conference of the Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing and the Association for Computers and the Humanities.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this presentation is to illustrate the implementation of methods and tools for separating markup, from the actual XML document.This is being done in the project Educational Content Markup where the object is to explore and develop tools and methods for the creation and management of encoded, modularised and portable digital content to be used in educational settings.The underlying idea in the project is to enable the production, use and reuse of document content in different fields of application and to support various groups of users and end-users.Concerning the fields of application our focus is on teaching and learning in higher education and the production of academic research publications.Hence, one group of users are teachers creating e.g. collections of documents to be used in classes. We picture both students and teachers as a group of end-users.Another group of users are scholars and other content providers concerned with document creation and the production process.In this project we have chosen to differentiate two kinds of markup in order to distinguish fields of application and groups of users. Thus, the differentiation described below guides our exploration of methods and the development of tools.
