Hello - I am sending some information which might be of interest to you,
your members and departments and to the people who visit your site. The
Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative is a collaborative project which
will combine global mapping, imagery, and texts. ECAI provides scholars
and other users with a research resource based on digital technology
which can present complex combinations of data from multiple disciplines
visually and immediately.
The ECAI Conference at the University of Sydney in June 2001 will be an
exciting forum for leading-edge cross-disciplinary discussions and we
welcome participation either as presenters or attendees. To get an idea
of the range and diversity of ECAI'sprojects, you can visit their site
at <http://www.ecai.org/>http://www.ecai.org/
I would appreciate it if you could forward this message to departments,
colleagues, students or members who may be interested in this
interchange between technology and the humanities, and post it to any
lists which may be related, such as archaeology, cultural studies,
heritage management, geography and spatial information.
Many thanks, and please accept my apologies if I have cross-posted or if
this reaches you in error. I have attached an .html file if it is more
appropriate to your needs than email text.

Assistant, ECAI 2001

This three-day hands-on workshop provides an introduction to the theory and
practice of markup languages, with special emphasis on using Extensible
Markup Language (XML) for humanities-based research. It is ideal for anyone

emphasis on the Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines (TEI) and Encoded
Archival Description (EAD).
Participants have the option of registering for the first day only, or for
the entire three days. Day I is ideal for people who are considering a
digitisation project and want to have an understanding of the theory and
practice of text encoding using TEI or EAD.
Days II and III are ideal for individuals who wish to gain more in-depth
knowledge of both XML and text encoding.
Schedule
Day I
Introduction to mark-up languages: HTML/SGML/XML
Introduction to mark-up following the Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines
Day II
