Friday April 19
Digital Scholarship Lab, Rockefeller Library, Brown University (Providence, RI)

The Brown Library and the Center for Digital Scholarship are proud to host two presentations by the designers of the popular <oXygen/> XML Editor:

Getting the Most out of <oXygen/>
Customizing your <oXygen/> Working Environment

We are very lucky that Syncro Soft’s George Bina and Radu Coravu will be in Providence, and have agreed to present these two demonstrations. This will be a great opportunity for questions, answers, and discussion about using the <oXygen/> editor in your digital humanities work.

<oXygen/> is widely used in the DH XML community. It is a very powerful tool for editing, transforming, querying and generally interacting with XML documents. It has also been very responsive to the needs of DH practitioners: schemas and stylesheets for TEI, EAD, and other core digital humanities standards are bundled into the standard <oXygen/> package.

10:30-12 Getting the Most Out of <oXygen/>

This presentation is targeted at users who are getting started with <oXygen/>, or who have been using it, but have not started exploring its capabilities yet. It will cover Author Mode, using the different <oXygen/> panes, simple CSS, simple use of frameworks, online schemas, and more. We are leaving plenty of time for conversation, and hope that you will bring your questions and projects.

1:30-3:00 Customizing your <oXygen/> Working Environment

This presentation is intended to demonstrate more advanced uses of <oXygen/> such as custom frameworks, accessing data from external files, scripting Author mode using XSLT or XQuery, extensions and plugins.

Please come to either or both of the presentations. There will be time for lunch with George and Radu in between the two sessions, and plenty of time for discussion! So come with questions about what you’d like to learn about <oXygen/>.
