  Intro to Digital Project
  This digital anthology is a collection of contextual information about the book Ready Player One. There are three selections from the book, Chapter 1 (page 14 & 15), Chapter 6(page 66 & 67), and Chapter 12(page 123 & 124).
  Behind the Scenes: This is a section that include background information introduced in class, such as how to edit XML with Oxygen, how to make footnotes and hyperlinks, etc.
   

  
  Ready Player One was a true project of the digital age.

  Prof. Rosasco's handout on TEI:

  
  Why TEI? Why XML?  - A computer scientist’s answer…
  XML, for a computing specialist, is a way to “keep” information that is far more future proof than, say, MS Word.  (For example – Word once had a bunch of competitors including Wordperfect, Wordstar - even Electric Pencil!)
  Most software stores information in a binary format specific to it.  This is (potentially) specific to both that application, that version, and even the platform (hardware) on which it is used.  This is, from a long term storage/access (and preservation) point of view.
  As a for-instance, a group received many plaudits for rescuing early digital art by Andy Warhol from a demonstration model (so even more unique) version of an Amiga[1].  The complexities of a proprietary file format c1985 required an entire team of specialists and great care.
  XML (which is itself derived from SGML) was in part designed to protect and retain data on the long haul.  It also was intended to be usable across platforms (and the Internet)… and be flexible.  Not for nothing is the “X” for “Extensible” – XML’s definition allows for “schemas”/DTDs that encode additional, specialized meanings that can handle a huge array of disciplines and problems – but do so in a generalized way.  In a sense, it was a way to let the technologists and other experts have what they wanted – a common “setup” for files that retained discipline/area specific ideas.

  Handout from TEI Files presented in class:
  
  Making footnotes and hyperlinks –revised (and simplified!).
   
  1.Footnotes have two parts.  First, you need to indicate the text that you want to be footnoted between one of the following sets of tags (or TEI elements).  What you put in the parentheses really does not matter as long as each footnote has a different number.  I recommend a system such as the following:
   
  <ref target="#n1"></ref >
   
  When you type this in oXygen, type in the <ref> tag first. (Ref stands for reference.) oXygen will automatically generate the </ref> tag right next to your <ref> tag, as follows:
   
  <ref></ref>. 
   
  Whatever you set off in <ref>tags at this point will appear in a different color when viewed in your web browser.
   
  Then, from within the <ref> tag, add the following:
  target="#n1"
   
  What you have in the quotation marks really does not matter as long as it matches what you put into your second set of <ref> tags (below).  But just to keep track of your notes, think of n1 in this example as meaning note 1. 
   
  For the second part of your footnotes, copy and paste your actual footnotes between <back><div></div></back> tags.
