About
The ENCODE guidelines are conceived as a companion reference resource to the ENCODE Online Course, published on the DARIAH teach platoform, and to the ENCODE Database. The distinctive character of this resource is the educational focus, as it has generally been of the ENCODE project, from which they originate.
The ENCODE guidelines aim at being an agile reference resource, a guide, for teachers and learners, to orientate theirselves
in the landscape of digital resources and methods for the the study of ancient writing cultures, a guide which can be used to to find out
where to start, what and where to learn, and if there are already established communities they can join
and best practices and guidelines they can follow.
