= Intro =
This page is a working page for the Future of TEI ODD meeting taking place immediately after the DH2012 conference in Hamburg. At the meeting on the Sat/Sun 21/22 July 2012, we will be discussing some of the problems with TEI ODD, where we want it to go in the future, and how to implement those changes.

This meeting is taking place on the Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 July 2012, in room 222 in the West Wing Building. There are some venue maps at:

http://www.dh2012.uni-hamburg.de/venue/university-of-hamburg/venue-maps/

There is also a TEI ODD panel as part of the DH2012 conference, on Wednesday 18 July 2012 11:00-12:30 in Lecture Hall B. This will provide a lot of background for the discussions on the weekend so we hope you can make it to both. http://www.dh2012.uni-hamburg.de/conference/programme/abstracts/future-developments-for-tei-odd/

We hope you can also attend the TEI ODD Panel http://www.dh2012.uni-hamburg.de/conference/programme/wednesday-july-18/ on Wednesday 18 July 2012 11:00-12:30.

Some of the problems are discussed on the [[ODD-dev]] page. Feel free to update this with more issues and link to them from the agenda.

The agenda is fairly flexible, and some issues to discuss are listed on the [[ODD-dev]] page. Mostly, after some introductions and discussion, we will attempt to break into groups to discuss particular points to see if there are any recommendations we can make back to the TEI Technical Council.

== TEI Special Interest Group on Manuscripts (TEI MS SIG) ==

=== News ===

'''Agenda for the SIG meeting: London 8th of November 2008.'''

* 9:30-11:00
** Working papers panel: presentations and discussion
* 11:30-13:00
** End of discussion (if necessary)
** Working Groups:
*** Manuscript description Enhancement (chair: Torsten Schassan); the WG Wiki page can be found [[msDesc enhancement|here]]
*** Genetic editions (chair: Fotis Iannidis); the WG Wiki page can be found [[Genetic Editions |here]]
* 14:00-15:30
** Working Groups: continuation
* 16:00-17:30
** Working Group: report and discussion
** Approval of possible actions (features requests; bug reports, etc.)
** Drawing of an agenda for the SIG on going work

=== Introduction ===

The goal of the TEI Special Interest Group on Manuscripts is to bring together users of the TEI who wish to improve the encoding strategies for marking up transcriptions and editions of manuscript materials.

This SIG will explore a range of issues common to editing manuscripts, including:
# how to handle time based encoding
# how to record place based encoding
# how to encode fragments
# how to record codicology (the substance of the medium, ink stints, etc); Robinson noted that the TEI already has mechanisms to record this, but it needs to be better documented
# issues of substitutions
# issues of variation
# to clarify the role of using the critical apparatus tagset in manuscript transcription (which is dependent on whether one is encoding an edition or encoding a manuscript transcription)

It will do this by:
* running a mailing list on this topic
* assess the TEI and suggest improvements/alterations to the TEI-Council

The SIG is setup by:
* Elena Pierazzo of the University of Pisa (Italy)
* Susan Schreibman of the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (US), who is also a member of the TEI Council.
* Edward Vanhoutte of the Centre for [http://www.kantl.be/ctb/ Scholarly Editing and Document Studies] of the Royal Academy of Dutch Language and Literature (Belgium), who is also a member of the TEI Council.

The SIG is convened by Elena Pierazzo who also manages the TEI-MS-SIG List

The SIG runs a mailing list on this topic. To join visit http://listserv.brown.edu/tei-ms-sig.html

=== Activities ===

The SIG met at the Third Annual TEI Members' Meeting in Nancy, France on 08 November 2003. The report can be found [http://www.tei-c.org.uk/Activities/SIG/Manuscript/mssigr01.html here].

The second meeting of the SIG was held at the Fourth Annual TEI Members' Meeting at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, USA, 23 October 2004. The report can be found [http://www.tei-c.org.uk/Activities/SIG/Manuscript/mssigr02.html here].

The third meeting of the SIG was held at Seventh Annual TEI Member's Meeting at University of Maryland, College Park, 3nd of November 2007. The agenda of the meeting can be found [[MS SIG Agenda 2007|here]]; the report can be found [[MS SIG Report 07|here]]. During the meeting several task forces were created to deal with specific problems: the task forces main page can be found [[MS task forces|here]].
