Guidelines<\/h1>\n

As you’re planning this project, you will want to think carefully about how to represent the texts you’re encoding. You’ll also want to\u00a0track\u00a0all of the encoding decisions you make in what will become your group’s internal documentation. As explained\u00a0in the assignment sheet<\/a>, you will each encode your documents separately, but you will write this internal documentation as a group. Part of your task, then, is to reach a\u00a0consensus about how you will encode your texts\u2014and to create a set of encoding practices that will work for all<\/em> of your documents.<\/p>\n

You can see an example of the Women Writer’s Project’s documentation here<\/a>. Your own documentation will, of course, be much shorter but it should still contain all essential information on how your project had decided to approach the task of encoding the documents you are publishing.<\/p>\n

For\u00a0guidelines on writing your internal documentation, as well as some notes on the details you might consider, visit\u00a0this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Examples<\/h1>\n

You can download the files I created to demonstrate in class below, with and without our shared analytical categories.\u00a0To start creating your own encoded texts, download the “TEI exercise package” at the WWP’s resources page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
