The next DH Asia Webinar is by Dr. Kazuhiro Okada from Keio University, Japan :- ) Dr. Okada’s talk is titled “TEI Meets East Asian Materials: Localizing and Internationalizing a De Facto Encoding Standard.” The discussant for this session is Dr. Natsuko Nakagawa from Kyushu University, Japan.
=======
ABSTRACT
TEI has been an acclaimed encoding standard in the Humanities for decades. While considerable efforts have been made to adapt TEI for East Asian materials, significant barriers remain before serious philological encoding projects can be realized. In this talk, I will share my experiences introducing an area-specific writing convention—ruby annotations—into TEI and discuss its impact on East Asian digital philology and the TEI initiative.
