SIG Text and Graphics 2016 meeting

at TEI Conference and Members' Meeting in Vienna, Austria, September 26-30, 2016.

when: Friday 30 September, 09.00-10.30

where: Museumszimmer (Museum room)

Minutes

 * 1) facsimile encoding with the recently updated element (cf. TEI-L, GitHub #1439): formerly limited to inline images, can now (as of March 2016 / version 3.0.0) be also used to encode facsimiles. Several examples in the Guidelines already reflect this, but the Guidelines prose needs to be updated accordingly. At the least, cross-references between chapters 11 and 3.9 should be added. See GitHub #1427.
 * 2) linking to coordinate data in non-TEI formats: in some project architectures, image coordinates are stored in external files, e.g. in JSON. Currently there is no encoding mechanism to explicitly link from a TEI to such a non-TEI file. See GitHub #1508.
 * 3) placement of nested elements: may contain and there are examples in the Guidelines of such multi-part images. However, the Guidelines do not say how to indicate the exact position of the inner images. A possible solution might be to allow inside so that both the outer and the inner images can be wrapped in and then positioned using the TEI coordinate attributes. See GitHub #1515.
