Or: Wout går till Sverige Two days ago, I packed my bags, boarded a plane, and set off to Sweden. To Gothenburg Landvetter, to be exact — departing in Deurne instead of Zaventem due to the tragic events that took place in Brussels only last week. Still, we try to move on, and as it was such a beautiful day,…
In Cologne, the DiXiT 2 conference is drawing to a close, as the last half day of talks has started. It’s been a great conference so far, with a rich social programme and a series of very interesting talks. And I’m especially looking forward to Arianna Ciula’s closing keynote on Modelling Textuality. Something to look…

Today, the BDMP Encoding Manual became freely accessible to anyone with an internet connection. In the first phase of transforming the BDMP’s in-house encoding manual into a more user-friendly documentation website, the website’s core materials (basically everything in our The Tags section) were only made available to BDMP contributors who logged into the website. The reason was…
On June 8-9, the University of Antwerp (the Lexicon’s home base) hosts the second edition of DHBenelux, a young international initiative that strives to further the dissemination of, and collaboration between Digital Humanities projects in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.

Yesterday and today, I added two new sources to the Lexicon of Scholarly Editing: “Denkt aleer ge doende zijt, … Elektronische Teksteditie.” by Dirk Van Hulle, and “…en doende, denkt dan nog.
