  1. A year in the life of the council Laurent Romary, TEI council chair

  2. Making the whole thing work Editorial support Council Source forge TEI list • TEI modules, classes, elements • TEI customizations • TEI documentation • TEI Tools Community

  3. Ground work • One +single+ F2F meeting @ Dublin • Vision: Making the TEI infrastructure more coherent • Coherent behaviors for coherent semantics • E.g. datable, spanning • “Bibl gang”: bibl, biblStruct • idno, biblScope, recommended practices for author description, etc. • Integrating mechanisms for a better coverage of document types • E.g. Manuscript transcription work • Making the management of customization more coherent • E.g. TEI Tite [Kevin Hawkins (Council liaison), Perry Trolard (author of Tite and part of the Mellon grant that funded development of AccessTEI), and Greg Spurlock (from Apex CoVantage)]

  4. Ground work – cont. • Implementation: hundreds of little steps • Cf. SourceForge: GO!! • Invisible changes • New mechanisms in ODD • From Roma to Roma • New Roma based on XSLT2 stylesheets • Coherence with OxGarage – coherence across endeavors (ePub, ISO, etc.) • Difficult to keep the vision… • Desperately missing a second meeting… • And, and, and, even more

  5. The TEI is part of the internet world • IETF/IANA registration: • “defining an 'application/tei+xml' media type for markup languages defined in accordance with the Text Encoding and Interchange guidelines” • <TEI>, <teiCorpus> • .tei, .teiCorpus, .odd • Action coordinated by S. Lundberg • Individual submission under review by Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) • Next step: Publication. Can occur during November • Full text: • http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-lundberg-app-tei-xml-07.txt • http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-lundberg-app-tei-xml/ for further info

  6. TEI and ISO – a long standing date • The need for convergence • Joint projects • FSR-FSD • ISO –TEI project (ISO back-office schema) • Wider use of ODD in ISO/TC 37/SC 3 (TMF) and SC 4 (MLIF, MAF, TimeML, FSR, FSD) • Thanks to ODD gurus: LR, LB, SR (making things work) • TEI mechanisms in ISO • Technical convergence: e.g. @target • Cf. work on MAF, meta-data • Going further • MAF (Morphosyntactic annotation framework) as a joint TEI-ISO module?

  7. Going further… • Next meeting in the US – “American Midwest” • Carrying on the evolution of ODD • Explicit modularity • Less magic • TEI mechanisms (e.g. attribute classes) as reusable building block — cf. crystals • Closer work between ISO and TEI • Linguistic SIG? • ISO gives the models – the TEI make them real • TEI new host configuration • Impact on editorial support • Tool maintenance strategy
