This strand provides a brief overview of theories and practices in digital scholarly editing. Participants will be introduced to the very basics of markup and text encoding, linked open data and semantic web technologies, documentation and analysis of material textual aspects, and tools and applications for publication. The format will alternate open seminars with laboratory sessions and hands-on exercises restricted to successful applicants of the originally planned summer school. The famous travel report of the Venetian explorer Marco Polo will serve as a starting point (as preserved in an illustrated manuscript copy from the Bodleian Library). Further resources and all teaching materials will be freely accessible on our Github repository.
