Thursday Feb 13, 16:00 UK = 17:00 CET
Convenors: Gabriel Bodard (Institute of Classical Studies), Martina Filosa (Köln), Simona Stoyanova (Nottingham)

In this session we will introduce the process of publishing XML editions to a web publication, using the example of TEI EpiDoc XML files and the EFES publication platform (EpiDoc Front-End Services). We will give a hands-on demo of opening, viewing individual inscriptions, and generating default indexes and search interface in EFES, and then show a couple of projects that have customized EFES for their own requirements.
In preparation for this session you should download (or clone) the EFES EpiDoc publication platform from Github, and follow the basic instructions to run the "build" file and view the front page in a browser. The rest will be explained in the session.

- Install EFES, add your files to the
/content/xml/epidoc/
directory, run the repository creation, harvesting and indexing, and make sure that you can see your files and any relevant contents in the indices and search results. If anything is missing, try to figure out what is wrong, and bring any remaining questions to class next week. - (Optional) Look in the example EpiDoc files and see how indexable terms (e.g. names, places, symbols) are encoded. Encode some examples of one of these features in your own texts, and if necessary add new values to the relevant authority list so that they can be harvested and will appear in the index. See Alist help. (NB: you may need to re-harvest and re-index before your changes appear in EFES.)
