As a student assistant at the junior professorship for Digital Humanities of Dr. Ulrike Henny-Krahmer, I provide support in the organization and implementation in the areas of research and teaching. My work is mainly focused on the research and preparation of information that will contribute to the establishment of a DH program at the University of Rostock. In addition, I am involved in the creation of digital text collections, including the development of transformation scripts and text encoding in XML according to the standard of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI).
