Introduction to TEI XML
URFIST de Rennes, September 27-28 2021
During this 12-hours formation to the Text Encoding Initiative, the participants were given an introduction to XML, then to TEI, followed by several encoding exercises, in order to get them to understand how it works (encoding of metadata, body, text layout, named entities, etc.). Finally, the last part of the formation was a demonstration of few applications that can be made with TEI, such as transformation with XSLT and TEI Publisher.

Introduction to TEI XML
URFIST de Rennes, November 24-25 2022
During this 12-hours formation to the Text Encoding Initiative, the participants were given an introduction to XML and to TEI, followed by several encoding exercises, in order to get them to understand how it works (encoding of metadata, body, text layout, named entities, etc.). Finally, the last part of the formation was a demonstration of few applications that can be made with TEI, such as text mining with XPath and XQuery, transformation with XSLT and publication with TEI Publisher.

ObTIC Workshop, Room 70 (BNF), 2 PM-5 PM
- Workshop 1 - "Automatic Text Recognition" - 01/17/25
This first workshop is dedicated to automatic text recognition, a constantly evolving field that today, with the help of trained models, allows for efficient and rapid acquisition of machine-readable versions of text corpora. After an introduction to the discipline, the workshop will put into practice what has been presented, by applying segmentation and transcription models to the Gallica corpora we will work on, in order to obtain a usable version afterward. - Workshop 2 - "Text Encoding and Annotation" - 03/14/25
This second workshop is dedicated to encoding texts in XML-TEI, the standard currently used to encode literary texts. After an introduction to the XML markup language and the components of the TEI standard, participants will engage in hands-on practice, encoding metadata, the body of the text, and various annotations (semantic, critical, etc.) relevant to the corpus being worked on. - Workshop 3 - "Web Display of Text" - 05/16/25
This third and final workshop in the series is dedicated to the web display of the encoded corpus, allowing participants to concretely observe the various enhancements brought to their corpus through encoding. After a brief introduction to the importance and methods of such a step, the workshop will aim to present and work on several tools for web display.

ATRIUM ATR Summer School
DARIAH Coordination Office, Berlin, Germany, September 1-5 2025
The ATRIUM Summer School will provide an in-depth approach to automatic text recognition with a focus on practical applications in concrete research scenarios. Participants will gain insights into the latest developments in OCR and HTR, focusing on open-source tools such as eScriptorium and workflows that facilitate the digitization and analysis of historical and modern texts.
During one week, the trainer team will alternate methodological input and supervision of hands-on sessions for the participants to improve their automatic text recognition pipelines. Input will cover not only the manipulation of pre-processing, segmentation, layout analysis, and post-processing, but also data management, empowering participants to achieve concrete goals in terms of the management, processing and reusability of their data within the duration of the summer school and beyond.
