This three-day workshop explored the development of skills in the application of text encoding techniques appropriate to resource creation and analysis in the arts and humanities and using the latest recommendations of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI P5) The main goal of the workshop was to investigate effective ways of training Arts and Humanities Researchers in advanced encoding techniques, with a view to identification of both appropriate training methodologies and suitable teaching resources for tailored courses about the TEI. Participants were given detailed specifications for group work during the workshop and recorded their work on group wikis.

The event featured guest lectures from several leading figures in the field.
