Introduction to XML for Social Sciences and Humanities: Part 3

This four-part intensive will introduce a suite of related technologies, centered on XML, for working with structured texts and data.  The course begins by introducing basic concepts with an exercise in creating an HTML webpage.  After that, it will move to cover several important XML applications, with exercises in dynamic mapping (with KML) and structured markup of literary and historical texts (with TEI).  Part 3 will introduce advanced XML concepts and XPath, and the course will end with an introduction to XQuery, for scripting in an XML environment.  The course assumes no familiarity with programming, but each day builds upon the previous one.

Registration note: To participate in multiple parts of this intensive, please be sure to register for each day separately.
