1997 CETH Summer Workshop on SGML and the TEI: Making Text Work
July 27 to August 1, 1997
Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey

Due to continuing demand, the application deadline for the 1997 CETH
Summer Workshop has been extended to Monday, June 2.  Applications
continue to be accepted on a rolling basis, but space is limited,
please do not delay.

"The CETH Summer Workshop will have both an introductory and an
advanced track.  Plenary sessions will concentrate on topics that (we
believe) are worth coming to even for people who have heard them
discussed before. Breakout sessions in the advanced track will cover
topics that make no sense to beginners but which may be useful to
active users of TEI or other SGML tag sets.  We think this will be the
first systematically planned *advanced* TEI instruction anywhere."

	--Gregory Murphy
	  CETH

The 1997 CETH Summer Workshop is an intensive, one-week course of
study that focuses on the application of SGML (the Standard
Generalized Markup Language) and the TEI (Text Encoding Initiative)
encoding scheme in the humanities. The Workshop is open to beginning
and advanced users alike. The goal is to provide in-depth coverage of
the fundamentals of electronic document markup, and issues related to
the use of SGML and the TEI in practice.

There will be opportunity for beginners to learn the basics of
document markup using SGML. A number of topical sessions aimed at all
levels of expertise will cover the use of the TEI core and additional
tag sets, document analysis, project management, and on- and off-line
delivery.  Advanced users will have the opportunity to explore other
subjects, including, but not limited to: modifying and extending the
TEI DTD; designing hypertext and other forms of linking; working with
different character sets; and writing programs to support SGML.

Sessions will be evenly divided between lecture and hands-on work.
Participants will be encouraged to pursue work on their own projects
in supervised labs. Time will be allotted for one-on-one consultations
between participants and instructors. There will be a wide range of
commercial, free- and share-ware SGML software used in the classroom
and available for experimentation in the laboratory.

The CETH Summer Workshop will be held in the new Scholarly
Communications Center located in Alexander Library, on Rutgers'
