Taught Invisible XML today to my undergrads for the first time. Fun to write a deliberate grammar instead of grabbing at patterns haphazardly with ad hoc regular expressions! Well, both are fun, but ixml makes you feel like a serious wielder of Unicode lore. Or a Cheshire Cat.

DHSI 2026 Scholarship Applications due by 15 February! dhsi.org/scholarships/ We hope you enroll and check out our course in week 2!

@teiconsortium.bsky.social @digitalhumanities.bsky.social

Everyone's learning AI. But who's teaching data prep, output validation, and sustainable infrastructure? Our DHSI course Week 2 June 15-19: "Processing Your XML/TEI" teaches you XPath, XSLT, XQuery, and Schematron—skills to apply WITH AI tools on your terms. Future-proof your work.

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

DHSI Processing XML Feature A presentation created with Slides.

Ready to go for the #MLA26 Session 1 tomorrow morning! I'm part of the DHSI workshop panel, talking about our course for June 2026 Week 2, + WHY we care about processing TEI / XML in the age of AI, too. @teiconsortium.bsky.social @digitalhumanities.bsky.social

Thanks for the detailed review! I've been exploring AI in the context of processing informational tree structures (XML and JSON documents) as a coding aid and maybe found something similar: a problem (I think in LLMs under the hood) with coping w/ nested hierarchies, + even simple markup of "...".

Tim Berners-Lee Invented the World Wide Web. Now He Wants to Save It In 1989, Sir Tim revolutionized the online world. Today, in the era of misinformation, addictive algorithms, and extractive monopolies, he thinks he can do it again.

Here's an article for our students! I remember when the WWW, hypertext links, + browsers were new, but to my students it's always been there...The article tells of the web's origins in context w/ the era of Big Tech's AI. That context is urgent for us all just now.

We digital humanities people know the TEI as a “scholarly technology” with enormous thanks to @juliaflanders.bsky.social and our community working together intelligently, cooperatively, and imaginatively over the years. We are the #TEI!

Our closing keynote for #TEI2025 is @juliaflanders.bsky.social , who speaks earnestly of TEI’s ongoing relevance in an ethical formulation of our technologies and data structures.

Next TEI Conference: August 10–15, 2026, Vancouver, BC Canada.

Our opening keynote at TEI 2025

Close up of slide calling for greater recognition for digital scholarly editing

At #TEI2025 the opening keynote Jadwiga Kita-Huber emphasizes the need for universities in Poland to recognize digital scholarly editions as research for the faculty and scholarly community! This is serious research—and this needs to be respected!

Standing to the side, listening with amusement, is our host and eminent stylometer, Jan Rybicki.

Here, @djakacki.bsky.social and I collaborate in a big thank you statement to the hosts and supporters of #digitalhumanities at @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social from the
@teiconsortium.bsky.social . We love being here in Kraków for TEI 2025!

I'm going to guess that the XSLT is run before posting to the website because that's how most of my own projects work. But client-side XSLT in the browser would be an excellent possibility!

Lol...😅🎶🤣

DIGIT AI for Localized TEI/XML Assistance A presentation about a small explainable AI project to fine-tune a language model with a graph RAG built with the TEI Guidelines.

We are so excited to be presenting shortly at #dh2025 on making a small explainable AI model “DigitAI” w/ our knowledge graph made from the #TEI Guidelines, and the declarative power of XSLT 3 (and 4) in work like this! Here are our slides!

Delighted to be learning from Javier Cha (opening keynote at #DH2025) about the RAG modeling we’re exploring now! I love how he tracks the progress from Cytoscape network viz to neo4j graph modeling in small systems for humanities data!
