Second CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
COST Action IS 1305 European Network of e-Lexicography
TRAINING SCHOOL 2015
“Standard tools and methods for retro-digitising dictionaries”
6 July ‒ 10 July 2015, Lisbon, Portugal



Funded by COST Action IS 1305 the Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas
of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa is hosting the first ‘European Network
of e-Lexicography’ Training School, in Lisbon.

COST Action IS1305 invites researchers in countries participating in COST
Action IS 1305 (http://www.cost.eu/about_cost/cost_countries) to submit
applications for a Training School that will be held in Lisbon from Monday
6 July to Friday 10 July 2015.

By retro-digitisation we mean the process of converting existing print
dictionaries into digital publications. The training school aims to bring
together students from many countries. They will be introduced to each
step of the process of retro-digitisation by means of theoretical courses
and hands‑on sessions.

Topics and Format

‒        Introduction (presentation of different successful
retro-digitisation projects)

‒        How to produce a digital copy of dictionaries (digitisation from
paper to image to text)?

‒        How to encode and enrich dictionary data (requirements, standards
and tools)?

‒        How to manage retro-digitisation projects (project design,
resources, time schedule, budget)?

Classes will combine theoretical instructions on standard tools and
methods for retro-digitising dictionaries with practical lessons, giving
participants the opportunity to work on their own material and learn the
steps necessary to transform a printed dictionary into a marked-up
dictionary as a basis for a database or an online-publication.
