Minutes London 03-2009

2009-03-25T17:33:06Z

Malte: /* Technical support */

[[category:Genetic Editions]]
''Present: Katrin Dennerlein, Paolo D'Iorio, Fotis Jannidis, Gregor Middell, Elena Pierazzo, Malte Rehbein, Moritz Wissenbach.''

''Discussion led by Elena Pierazzo, minutes by Gregor Middell.''

==Organization==

===Technical infrastructure/ Workflow===

* coordination takes place in this wiki
* project has to be announced on the news bar at http://tei-c.org/
* wiki will be reorganzied in 2 distinct parts: a public one (with announcements, draft specs …) and an internal one with information, that is less interesting to the general public
* list of sponsors has to go on the wiki as well
* ''Google Docs'' used for the (internal) specification process
* draft versions of the specification are checked out as a PDF document and put on the wiki every week, so we can gather feedback

===Conference in Paris===

* ITEM provides up to 3 rooms for the conference; definitely 1 on both days, possibly 3 on the second
* Paolo D'Iorio coordinates the room allocation with ITEM
* we want to offer lunch at the conference (attendants shall ''confirm'' their participation upon registration)
* SIG will invite speakers and organizers to a dinner as well
* Paolo D'Iorio organizes hotel, dinner bookings, internet access, beamer
* Malte Rehbein manages registration
* registration deadline is 17.04. (first come, first serve)
* conference program will be split up into 2 sections:
** a common program with presentations and public discussions
** a workgroup-oriented program with talks, which are oriented toward certain aspects of the specification

====Spending institution====

* TU Darmstadt/ Universität Würzburg (chair of Fotis Jannidis) will be spending institution
* in case of any restrictions NUI Galway can serve as a workaround
* funding will be provided by ALLC, ACH, TEI and Galway
* Fotis Jannidis contacts sponsors as soon as the ultimate recipient of reimbursements is determined

====Program: 1. day====

* start at 02:00pm
* one coffee break
* 2 sessions, 4 talks each, 15 min/talk + 5 min/discussion
* (edition) project presentations

====Program: 2. day====

* start at 09:00am
* present the SIG work: 45 min
* 10:00am: discussion
* 11:00am: coffee
* 11:30am: discussion
* 01:00pm: lunch
* 02:00pm:discussion, wrap up, roadmap, outlook
* finish at 03:30pm

====Technical support====

* we want to offer an optional web publication service, so attendants can refer online to all the examples during discussion [not necessarily online: important is that the examples, i.e. images etc. are easily accessible during the discussion, so one powerpoint presentation including all images would do the job --[[User:Malte|Malte]] 13:33, 25 March 2009 (EDT)]

==Specification==

===Deliverables===

# a presentation of the draft specification at the conference
# the XML schema
# a contribution to the TEI guidelines

===Theoretical framework===

* the specification shall be independent of presuppositions made by a particular theoretical framework
* therefore a couple of typical dichotomies in editorial theory have to be recognized
* first there is the notion of ''fact (or representation) vs. interpretation''
* maybe we should think of differing ''levels of interpretation'' instead
* reason: we might not be able to cleary differentiate between „what's there“ (document/fact) and „how does it relate“ (text/interpretation)
* this leads to the second opposition, that is central to editorial theory: ''document vs. text''
* Paolo D'Iorio explains the HyperNietzsche approach to handle this opposition
* HyperNietzsche bases its functionality on a thorough manuscript description, that happens on the documentary level
* the interpretative acts (constituting a text) build upon the manuscript description
* to summarize the HyperNietzsche experience while trying to adopt TEI guidelines: the '''Text''' Encoding Initiative does not handle "the document level" very well thus far
* for genetic editions though, this level is crucial

===Methodology===

* we want to propose a standard, we do not want (even better: we cannot) prescribe one, given the complex landscape of editorial practices
* in the beginning we will work on a pseudo-encoding, which is tightly bound to our own terminology
* in a second step, we will try to map this pseudo-encoding to the actual TEI encoding framework, probably in cooperation with someone from the TEI Council
* the same step-by-step approach shall be taken for the standardization process
* first we develop an application profile aka. TEI customization
* when that proves to be of general interest, we rework it into a separate chapter for the TEI guidelines

==Aspects of Genetic Editions==

===Topological description on the document level===

* the description functions hierarchically on 3 levels:
* highest level: the ''page''
* pages contain ''zones''
* zones are are nestable, groupable, can overlap and have a depth level (aka. belong to a layer)
* zones are arbitrary in as much as they can be defined by layout and/or semantic aspects
* on a third level, zones normally contain (among other entities) ''lines''

===Dating===

* on the one hand the dating of a witness may not be directly related to its encoded content, it therefore has to go into the header
* on the other hand, dates added by the original author as metadata to the text on the witness should be encoded without necessarily going into the header [can be embedded within a Functional Mark]
* dating can be justified by prose and/or by reference to a characteristic of a manuscript (e.g. hand)

<teiHeader>
<datingDesc>
<dating ....>
<div1>...</div1>
</dating>
</datingDesc>
</teiHeader>

===Time/ Chronology===

* we want to express time as absolute and relative measures
* express absolute time by adapting the existing date element/attributes; see http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ND.html#NDATTSda
* express relative time as predecessor/successor-relationships
** might be a direct relationship: next, previous
** might be a „sorting“ relationship: before, after
** relationships may also be expressed via a numbering scheme
** relationships may have 1:n cardinality, e.g. one witness is dated before a set of others

===Grouping changes (“changesets”)===

* forming changesets is necessary to group text passages, which all form one revision
* implemented either via a wrapping element (e.g. <revision/>) or via a stand-off mechanism for spatially disparate changes

===Alterations===

* alterations are practically related to the ''collation'' of texts
* we need to deal with collation as a separate aspect of genetic editions
* for example we need an expression for ''ommissions'' as a textual feature, that results from relating texts via collation
* another set of alterations to be expressed is the one, that results from authors ''fixating'' a text passage by overwriting it (e.g. a penciled passage fixated with ink)
* marginal notes have to be differentiated from ''functional marks'' commanding an alteration (e.g. „move this passage over there”)

===Deletions===

====“marked as used”====

* passages happen to be striked through, which marks the passage to be used at another location
* two-step markup
* first: markup the block on the document level
* secondly: describe the function (“mark as used”)

====Overwriting====

* overwriting is a special case of a deletion

===Undoing alterations===

* how to express on the document level, that an alteration has been taken back, e.g. a striked through passage being reinstantiated via a dotted underlining
* <restore/> already exists for undoing an deletion, but we might need a more general approach
* possible solutions via an element or via an attribute “undo”
* proposal: add a generic element <undo/> with an attribute referring to the action being undone
* can be further differentiated by a type attribute, e.g. immediate correction vs. revising
* this is preliminary: we have to open up this solution to discussion

===Transpositions===

* current approach: express transpositions as pairs of additions and deletions
* we also want to express transpositions as an atomic operation, because it might be expressed as such on the document as well
* first: make the segment to be transposed adressable
* either via an identifiable wrapping element or via a “cross-cutting” <seg/>
* secondly: markup “functional mark”, which might be in the text (e.g. a superlinear “add ‘is’ here”), with an element like <fm/>
* relate the functional mark to the identified passages

<add><fm type="addition">add</fm> ‘is’ here</add>

* either refer to the passage added via attributes
* or it might be implicit, which passage is transposed, because the <fm/> is contained in an <add/> or <delete/>
* maybe we can generalize the idea of a ''functional mark'' (<fm/>)
* we markup passages on the representational level, but also on the semantic level, on which they command alterations

===Clarification===

* think of clarification as a ''repetition'' of a text
* this idea can also offer a solution for encoding fixations

<repetition type="clarification|fixation|..." position="superlinear" hand=""/>

===Correction===

* supply an additional attribute to <add/> and <delete/> that typifies the alteration (e. g. “instant correction”)

===“Coordinate system”===

* how to express genetic relationships on an inter- and intra-document level
* we need a scheme for addressing the linked passages and a means for describing such relationships/ links
* adopt the HyperNietzsche concept: relational description via ''paths''
* paths are typed, depending on the relation expressed (e.g. a timeline, a conceptual link …)
* paths: define complete paths via a set of vertices (''steps'')
* <linkGrp/> is a candidate for grouping a set of steps forming a path
* steps of a path can be ordered or unordered, but that might belong to the aspect of uncertainty)
* the steps of a path should be describable, so the expressed relationships can be justified or further characterized
* we should import concepts from the critical apparatus here: http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/TC.html
* relationships might be ''transitive'' in nature, should we express that as well
* then: is there a potential scope conflict between the TEI and other graph-oriented markup languages like RDF/XML
* maybe we can differentiate between the description of the relationships itself and their characterization/justification
* the relationships might be described as an RDF graph, which is argumented with TEI-based prose

==Roadmap==

===Organizational tasks===

* conference announcement: Malte Rehbein
* call for more examples on the TEI list: Elena Pierazzo
* apply for a panel on the next TEI Member’s meeting

===Specification tasks===

* as we were not able to deal with all aspects, the further work on the remaining ones is distributed among the SIG members

= Example =

== Brief description ==

''Kundige bok'' is a compilation of
various texts, describing town law of late medieval Göttingen. The texts had been revised many times thus
giving evidence of its active use and reuse over a
period of 150 years. Every change made by the medieval scribes in
kundige bok 2 has to be regarded as a new layer of
the text since it had produced an “update” of the law
by replacing its predecessor. Thus, each text layer
represents a certain stage of the law.

== Sample (with image, transcription and explanation) ==

The particularity, I would like to point out here, is what I call "functional comment". The passage highlighted in the picture reads "Iam non lege" resp. "vacat", indicating that in the next evolutionary step of the development of the law, the corresponding paragraph became obsolete. Thus, the comments kind of act like a deletion.

Download image from [http://www.wemare.de/kb2sample.jpg here]. (We have to find a better way to provide images, the wiki does not allow it as seems to me)

== Comments ==

This is a non-literary example. Textual genetics can be seen here under a different light, since ''kundige bok'' was never changed to create a "final" version. However, I regard the fundamental principles and the way to treat (encode) the textual features the same.

SIG:MSS

2008-06-18T08:59:36Z

Malte: /* News */

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

=== News ===

Dear all,

We got quite a good number of responses to our call for an informal meeting of the SIG MS at the DH2008 in Oulu. We would like to invite everyone who is interested to meet on '''Friday, 27 June, after the last session at 17:45h'''. The meeting will be held in hall HU206 (that's one of the conference rooms).

At the meeting, we would like to report about the submissions we did for the TEI Members Meeting in November, to collate ideas for the all-day SIG workshop and to start the needed activities for that, including an update on the task groups. Any input on these beforehand is very welcome, too.

See you in Finland,
Elena, Amanda, Malte

=== 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]].

Malte: /* TEI Special Interest Group on Manuscripts (TEI MS SIG) */

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

=== News ===

Dear all,

We got quite a good number of responses to our call for an informal meeting of the SIG MS at the DH2008 in Oulu. We would like to invite everyone who is interested to meet on '''Friday, 27 June, after the last session at 17:45h'''. A room will be announced as soon as possible.

At the meeting, we would like to report about the submissions we did for the TEI Members Meeting in November, to collate ideas for the all-day SIG workshop and to start the needed activities for that, including an update on the task groups. Any input on these beforehand is very welcome, too.

See you in Finland,
Elena, Amanda, Malte

=== 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]].
