'''Extension of CMC-core for the annotation of wiki talk pages:'''

A '''[https://www.uni-due.de/germanistik/chatkorpus/tei/cmccore/cmc-wikitalk.zip ''cmc-wikitalk'']''' schema was produced by [http://teic.github.io/TCW/howtoChain.html ODD chaining] with CMC-core and was used for encoding the wikipedia talk example.

=== About this schema ===

This ODD describes an encoding schema for genres of computer-mediated communication (CMC) / social media. It is meant to define a basic setup that one needs to encode CMC corpora, but which is not in the TEI yet.

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Harald Lüngen, Laura Herzberg, and Ciara R. Wigham.

The schema is based on version P5 (3.3.0) of the [http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/P5/ TEI Guidelines for Electronic Text Encoding and Interchange] (henceforth: ‘TEI-P5’) and uses customizations to adapt the models defined in TEI-P5 for the modeling of structural and linguistic peculiarities of CMC genres. The schema takes into consideration previous schema drafts that have been developed by members of the SIG (the 'DeRiK schema' described in [https://jtei.revues.org/476 Beißwenger et al. 2012], the 'CoMeRe schema' described in [http://www.jlcl.org/2014_Heft2/1Chanier-et-al.pdf Chanier et al. 2014], and the 'CLARIN-D schema' described in [https://www.linguistics.rub.de/konvens16/proceedings.html Lüngen et al. (2016)]) as well as discussions on a core schema at the [https://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php?title=SIG:CMC/SIG_meeting_in_Vienna,_30_September_2016 SIG meeting in Vienna at the TEI conference on 30 September 2016]] and a meeting of the SIG core group in Essen on 21 June 2017.

=== Status of the schema ===

This schema and examples shall accompany a TEI feature request to be submitted to the TEI Council by the end of 2019. A rationale for the models included in the schema is given in the ODD and in the articles under [[#References]].

=== Characteristics of the schema: TEI customizations ===

The ODD introduces '''four types of customizations''' :

# A new module named 'cmc' is introduced. It is referenced by the new model classe model.divPart.cmc, by the new attribute class att.global.cmc, and by the new element <post>.
# The new element <post> has is introduced.
# The new attribute class att.global.cmc is introduced. It defines the new global attribute creation. The existing attribute class att.global has been modified to additionally be a member of att.global.cmc
# The class model.divPart.cmc is defined. model.divPart.cmc is a member of model.divPart and serves as a container of the new, CMC-specific element <post>.

In addition to these customizations, we have prepared encoding examples for the genres chat, wiki talk, second life, and twitter, based on existing corpora.

= Mission statement =

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments. A TEI standard for the representation of those genres and their structural and linguistic peculiarities is a desideratum both in the fields of digital humanities and computer sciences. Such a standard would foster interoperability between language resources as well as the analysis and automatic exploitation of resources of that kind in several respect:
*It would allow scholars for building interoperable CMC corpora for different languages and thus enhance the empirical basis for doing '''CMC research across languages and cultures'''.
*It would allow scholars for building CMC resources which are interoperable with text and speech corpora that are already represented in TEI and thus pave the way for corpus-based '''research on language use across different types of corpora''' (= comparative analysis of the language use in CMC, in edited text and in spoken language).
*Through including models for the description of not only verbal but also of non-verbal acts, it would allow scholars to describe and analyse '''CMC accross different modalities'''.

The '''TEI special interest group (SIG) "computer-mediated communication"''' is developing and discussing suggestions for adapting the TEI guidelines for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication. The focus of the group's work is on (but not limited to) tasks such as:
*modeling user contributions (''posts'') to written CMC interactions (which share features both with written and spoken language) as well as the interplay of written posts, spoken utterances and non-verbal acts in multimodal CMC environments;
*modeling CMC document structures (''"CMC macrostructures"'' – e.g., forum threads, wiki talk pages, chat logfiles, Twitter timelines etc.);
*annotating linguistic features within user posts (''"CMC microstructures"'' – elements such as emoticons, addressing terms, hashtags; quotes from prior posts; etc.);
*representing linked data and media objects connected with/embedded in CMC discourse;
*metadata schemas for the description of CMC resources;
*developing perspectives for the representation of discourse in multimodal cmc environments in which the participants in one interaction space combine a variety of modalities from written, spoken and non-verbal modes.

= Documentation of schema drafts from the SIG =
There are several TEI schemas that have been developed and discussed in the context of the work of the SIG. When designing new drafts, the models specified in previous drafts as well as the discussions within the group have been taken into consideration. The drafts are listed below in reverse chronological order:

=== ''"CMC-core schema"'' (2019): TEI Schema and ODD from the ''TEI CMC SIG'' ===

'''Context:''' The ODD describes the the core of the previous schemata, i.e. the basic setup that one needs to encode a CMC corpus, but which is not in the TEI yet. It was developed by four core members of the TEI CMC SIG.

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Laura Herzberg, Harald Lüngen, Ciara Wigham.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous customisations (CLARIN-D, CoMeRe, DeRiK):''' More reducing to the max:
*Removal of the <prod> element; we came to the conclusion that its functions are well expressed by the available TEI elements <kinesic> and <incident>.
*Removal of elements and redefinitions that were needed only for wiki talk corpora; these should not be part of the core and were moved in a sub-schema.
*Renaming of the former attribute @auto as @creation and a redefinition of its value set

=== ''"CLARIN-D schema"'' (2015): TEI Schema and ODD from the CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN'' ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres (chats, tweets, whatsapp, wikipedia talk pages, ...) as part of the work of the German [http://de.clarin.eu/en/curation-project-1-3-german-philology CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN''].

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Eric Ehrhardt, Axel Herold, Harald Lüngen, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous schema drafts (CoMeRe, DeRiK):'''
*Reduction of new elements through re-modeling some CMC-specific concepts from the previous schemas with „standard“ TEI (guiding principle: "reduce to the max": introduction of new models and modification of existing models only for concepts which are needed ''in any case''; for everything else: definition of best practices for the use of existing models in TEI-P5)
*Definition of an interface to part-of-speech annotations (using <w> and <phr>)

'''ODD / documentation of the schema:''' see detail page: '''[[SIG:CMC/CLARIN-D schema draft for representing CMC in TEI (2015)]]'''

'''Presentations of the CLARIN-D schema:''' The schema will be discussed in two panels at the following conferences:
* ''[http://wiki.tei-c.org/images/0/0b/TEIMM2015_panelproposal_submitted-3.pdf TEI across corpora, languages and genres: Towards a standard for the representation of social media and computer-mediated communication.]'' Panel at the Annual Conference and Members Meeting of the Text Encoding Initiative 2015: [http://tei2015.huma-num.fr/en/ "Connect, Animate, Innovate"], Université Lumière, Lyon 2 (F), 29 October 2015 (organized by Michael Beißwenger & Thierry Chanier).

=== ''"CoMeRe schema"'' (2014): TEI schema and ODD from the CoMeRe network ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed in the context of the French network [https://corpuscomere.wordpress.com/ CoMeRe (Communication médiée par les réseaux)] and used for annotation of [http://www.ortolang.fr/api/content/comere/latest/comere.html several corpora of French CMC] (SMS, tweets, chat, weblogs, multimodal CMC, ...).

'''Authors:''' Thierry Chanier, Céline Poudat, Benoit Sagot, Georges Antoniadis, Ciara R. Wigham, Linda Hriba, Julien Longhi, Djamé Seddah.

'''Main characteristics compared to the previous schema draft (DeRiK):'''
*Introduction of an element <prod> for the representation of non-verbal acts
*(re-)efinition of <post>, <prod> and as models which may be combined within one interaction (= installation of one main result of the [[SIG:CMC/1st SIG meeting in Rome, 3 October 2013|SIG meeting 2013 in Rome]]). => make the schema fit for multimodal CMC
*includes a metadata schema for CMC

=== ''"DeRiK schema"'' (2012): TEI schema and ODD for CMC from the DeRiK project ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres as part of the preliminary work for the project [http://llc.oxfordjournals.org/content/28/4/531.full?keytype=ref&ijkey=GXFixqNNy0uW7cO "Building a reference corpzus of German CMC" (DeRiK)]. It is also part of the results of the DFG scientific network ''[http://www.empirikom.net Empirikom]''. After publication in the jTEI (Beißwenger et al. 2012) the schema has further been tested with the Wikipedia talk pages corpus in DeReKo (Margaretha & Lüngen 2014).

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Maria Ermakova, Alexander Geyken, Lothar Lemnitzer, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics:'''
*Introduction of an element model <post> for written user contributions to CMC interactions which combines features of text divisions and spoken utterances.
*Adaptation of the existing element model <div> for the representation of CMC threads and logfiles.
*Models for CMC-specific phenomena below the <post> level.

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments.

The three presentations in the panel gave a report about of experiences with modeling CMC in XML and an outline of phenomena and issues related with the representation of CMC in TEI from the perspective of corpus projects from France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. The overall goal of the panel was to stimulate the further discussion within the TEI community about how a standard for the representation of CMC in TEI should look like and what might be a practical and reasonable way to go about creating such a standard.

= Mission statement =

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments. A TEI standard for the representation of those genres and their structural and linguistic peculiarities is a desideratum both in the fields of digital humanities and computer sciences. Such a standard would foster interoperability between language resources as well as the analysis and automatic exploitation of resources of that kind in several respect:
*It would allow scholars for building interoperable CMC corpora for different languages and thus enhance the empirical basis for doing '''CMC research across languages and cultures'''.
*It would allow scholars for building CMC resources which are interoperable with text and speech corpora that are already represented in TEI and thus pave the way for corpus-based '''research on language use across different types of corpora''' (= comparative analysis of the language use in CMC, in edited text and in spoken language).
*Through including models for the description of not only verbal but also of non-verbal acts, it would allow scholars to describe and analyse '''CMC accross different modalities'''.

The '''TEI special interest group (SIG) "computer-mediated communication"''' is developing and discussing suggestions for adapting the TEI guidelines for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication. The focus of the group's work is on (but not limited to) tasks such as:
*modeling user contributions (''posts'') to written CMC interactions (which share features both with written and spoken language) as well as the interplay of written posts, spoken utterances and non-verbal acts in multimodal CMC environments;
*modeling CMC document structures (''"CMC macrostructures"'' – e.g., forum threads, wiki talk pages, chat logfiles, Twitter timelines etc.);
*annotating linguistic features within user posts (''"CMC microstructures"'' – elements such as emoticons, addressing terms, hashtags; quotes from prior posts; etc.);
*representing linked data and media objects connected with/embedded in CMC discourse;
*metadata schemas for the description of CMC resources;
*developing perspectives for the representation of discourse in multimodal cmc environments in which the participants in one interaction space combine a variety of modalities from written, spoken and non-verbal modes.

= Documentation of schema drafts from the SIG =
There are several TEI schemas that have been developed and discussed in the context of the work of the SIG. When designing new drafts, the models specified in previous drafts as well as the discussions within the group have been taken into consideration. The drafts are listed below in reverse chronological order:

=== ''"CMC-core schema"'' (2019): TEI Schema and ODD from the ''TEI CMC SIG'' ===

'''Context:''' The ODD describes the the core of the previous schemata, i.e. the basic setup that one needs to encode a CMC corpus, but which is not in the TEI yet. It was developed by four core members of the TEI CMC SIG.

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Laura Herzberg, Harald Lüngen, Ciara Wigham.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous customisations (CLARIN-D, CoMeRe, DeRiK):''' More reducing to the max:
*Removal of the <prod> element; we came to the conclusion that its functions are well expressed by the available TEI elements <kinesic> and <incident>.
*Removal of elements and redefinitions that were needed only for wiki talk corpora; these should not be part of the core and were moved in a sub-schema.
*Renaming of the former attribute @auto as @creation and a redefinition of its value set

= Mission statement =

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments. A TEI standard for the representation of those genres and their structural and linguistic peculiarities is a desideratum both in the fields of digital humanities and computer sciences. Such a standard would foster interoperability between language resources as well as the analysis and automatic exploitation of resources of that kind in several respect:
*It would allow scholars for building interoperable CMC corpora for different languages and thus enhance the empirical basis for doing '''CMC research across languages and cultures'''.
*It would allow scholars for building CMC resources which are interoperable with text and speech corpora that are already represented in TEI and thus pave the way for corpus-based '''research on language use across different types of corpora''' (= comparative analysis of the language use in CMC, in edited text and in spoken language).
*Through including models for the description of not only verbal but also of non-verbal acts, it would allow scholars to describe and analyse '''CMC accross different modalities'''.

The '''TEI special interest group (SIG) "computer-mediated communication"''' is developing and discussing suggestions for adapting the TEI guidelines for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication. The focus of the group's work is on (but not limited to) tasks such as:
*modeling user contributions (''posts'') to written CMC interactions (which share features both with written and spoken language) as well as the interplay of written posts, spoken utterances and non-verbal acts in multimodal CMC environments;
*modeling CMC document structures (''"CMC macrostructures"'' – e.g., forum threads, wiki talk pages, chat logfiles, Twitter timelines etc.);
*annotating linguistic features within user posts (''"CMC microstructures"'' – elements such as emoticons, addressing terms, hashtags; quotes from prior posts; etc.);
*representing linked data and media objects connected with/embedded in CMC discourse;
*metadata schemas for the description of CMC resources;
*developing perspectives for the representation of discourse in multimodal cmc environments in which the participants in one interaction space combine a variety of modalities from written, spoken and non-verbal modes.

= Documentation of schema drafts from the SIG =
There are several TEI schemas that have been developed and discussed in the context of the work of the SIG. When designing new drafts, the models specified in previous drafts as well as the discussions within the group have been taken into consideration. The drafts are listed below in reverse chronological order:

=== ''"CMC-core schema"'' (2019): TEI Schema and ODD from the ''TEI CMC SIG'' ===

'''Context:''' The ODD describes the the core of the previous schemata, i.e. the basic setup that one needs to encode a CMC corpus, but which is not in the TEI yet. It was developed by four core members of the TEI CMC SIG.

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Laura Herzberg, Harald Lüngen, Ciara Wigham.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous customisations (CLARIN-D, CoMeRe, DeRiK):''' More reducing to the max:
*Removal of the <prod> element; we came to the conclusion that its functions are well expressed by the available TEI elements <kinesic> and <incident>.
*Removal of elements and redefinitions that were needed only for wiki talk corpora; these should not be part of the core and were moved in a sub-schema.
*Renaming of the former attribute @auto as @creation and a redefinition of its value set

'''ODD / documentation of the schema:''' see detail page: '''[[SIG:CMC/CMC-core schema for representing CMC in TEI (2019)]]'''

=== ''"CLARIN-D schema"'' (2015): TEI Schema and ODD from the CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN'' ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres (chats, tweets, whatsapp, wikipedia talk pages, ...) as part of the work of the German [http://de.clarin.eu/en/curation-project-1-3-german-philology CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN''].

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Eric Ehrhardt, Axel Herold, Harald Lüngen, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous schema drafts (CoMeRe, DeRiK):'''
*Reduction of new elements through re-modeling some CMC-specific concepts from the previous schemas with „standard“ TEI (guiding principle: "reduce to the max": introduction of new models and modification of existing models only for concepts which are needed ''in any case''; for everything else: definition of best practices for the use of existing models in TEI-P5)
*Definition of an interface to part-of-speech annotations (using <w> and <phr>)

'''ODD / documentation of the schema:''' see detail page: '''[[SIG:CMC/CLARIN-D schema draft for representing CMC in TEI (2015)]]'''

'''Presentations of the CLARIN-D schema:''' The schema will be discussed in two panels at the following conferences:
* ''[http://wiki.tei-c.org/images/0/0b/TEIMM2015_panelproposal_submitted-3.pdf TEI across corpora, languages and genres: Towards a standard for the representation of social media and computer-mediated communication.]'' Panel at the Annual Conference and Members Meeting of the Text Encoding Initiative 2015: [http://tei2015.huma-num.fr/en/ "Connect, Animate, Innovate"], Université Lumière, Lyon 2 (F), 29 October 2015 (organized by Michael Beißwenger & Thierry Chanier).

=== ''"CoMeRe schema"'' (2014): TEI schema and ODD from the CoMeRe network ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed in the context of the French network [https://corpuscomere.wordpress.com/ CoMeRe (Communication médiée par les réseaux)] and used for annotation of [http://www.ortolang.fr/api/content/comere/latest/comere.html several corpora of French CMC] (SMS, tweets, chat, weblogs, multimodal CMC, ...).

'''Authors:''' Thierry Chanier, Céline Poudat, Benoit Sagot, Georges Antoniadis, Ciara R. Wigham, Linda Hriba, Julien Longhi, Djamé Seddah.

'''Main characteristics compared to the previous schema draft (DeRiK):'''
*Introduction of an element <prod> for the representation of non-verbal acts
*(re-)efinition of <post>, <prod> and as models which may be combined within one interaction (= installation of one main result of the [[SIG:CMC/1st SIG meeting in Rome, 3 October 2013|SIG meeting 2013 in Rome]]). => make the schema fit for multimodal CMC
*includes a metadata schema for CMC

=== ''"DeRiK schema"'' (2012): TEI schema and ODD for CMC from the DeRiK project ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres as part of the preliminary work for the project [http://llc.oxfordjournals.org/content/28/4/531.full?keytype=ref&ijkey=GXFixqNNy0uW7cO "Building a reference corpzus of German CMC" (DeRiK)]. It is also part of the results of the DFG scientific network ''[http://www.empirikom.net Empirikom]''. After publication in the jTEI (Beißwenger et al. 2012) the schema has further been tested with the Wikipedia talk pages corpus in DeReKo (Margaretha & Lüngen 2014).

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Maria Ermakova, Alexander Geyken, Lothar Lemnitzer, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics:'''
*Introduction of an element model <post> for written user contributions to CMC interactions which combines features of text divisions and spoken utterances.
*Adaptation of the existing element model <div> for the representation of CMC threads and logfiles.
*Models for CMC-specific phenomena below the <post> level.

The three presentations in the panel gave a report about of experiences with modeling CMC in XML and an outline of phenomena and issues related with the representation of CMC in TEI from the perspective of corpus projects from France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. The overall goal of the panel was to stimulate the further discussion within the TEI community about how a standard for the representation of CMC in TEI should look like and what might be a practical and reasonable way to go about creating such a standard.

= Mission statement =

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments. A TEI standard for the representation of those genres and their structural and linguistic peculiarities is a desideratum both in the fields of digital humanities and computer sciences. Such a standard would foster interoperability between language resources as well as the analysis and automatic exploitation of resources of that kind in several respect:
*It would allow scholars for building interoperable CMC corpora for different languages and thus enhance the empirical basis for doing '''CMC research across languages and cultures'''.
*It would allow scholars for building CMC resources which are interoperable with text and speech corpora that are already represented in TEI and thus pave the way for corpus-based '''research on language use across different types of corpora''' (= comparative analysis of the language use in CMC, in edited text and in spoken language).
*Through including models for the description of not only verbal but also of non-verbal acts, it would allow scholars to describe and analyse '''CMC accross different modalities'''.

The '''TEI special interest group (SIG) "computer-mediated communication"''' is developing and discussing suggestions for adapting the TEI guidelines for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication. The focus of the group's work is on (but not limited to) tasks such as:
*modeling user contributions (''posts'') to written CMC interactions (which share features both with written and spoken language) as well as the interplay of written posts, spoken utterances and non-verbal acts in multimodal CMC environments;
*modeling CMC document structures (''"CMC macrostructures"'' – e.g., forum threads, wiki talk pages, chat logfiles, Twitter timelines etc.);
*annotating linguistic features within user posts (''"CMC microstructures"'' – elements such as emoticons, addressing terms, hashtags; quotes from prior posts; etc.);
*representing linked data and media objects connected with/embedded in CMC discourse;
*metadata schemas for the description of CMC resources;
*developing perspectives for the representation of discourse in multimodal cmc environments in which the participants in one interaction space combine a variety of modalities from written, spoken and non-verbal modes.

= Documentation of schema drafts from the SIG =
There are several TEI schemas that have been developed and discussed in the context of the work of the SIG. When designing new drafts, the models specified in previous drafts as well as the discussions within the group have been taken into consideration. The drafts are listed below in reverse chronological order:

=== ''"CMC-core schema"'' (2019): TEI Schema and ODD from the ''TEI CMC SIG'' ===

'''Context:''' The ODD describes the the core of the previous schemata, i.e. the basic setup that one needs to encode a CMC corpus, but which is not in the TEI yet. It was developed by four core members of the TEI CMC SIG.

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Laura Herzberg, Harald Lüngen, Ciara Wigham.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous customisations (CLARIN-D, CoMeRe, DeRiK):''' More reducing to the max:
*Removal of the <prod> element; we came to the conclusion that its functions are well expressed by the available TEI elements <kinesic> and <incident>.
*Removal of elements and redefinitions that were needed only for wiki talk corpora; these should not be part of the core and were moved in a sub-schema.
*Renaming of the former attribute @auto as @creation and a redefinition of its value set

= Mission statement =

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments. A TEI standard for the representation of those genres and their structural and linguistic peculiarities is a desideratum both in the fields of digital humanities and computer sciences. Such a standard would foster interoperability between language resources as well as the analysis and automatic exploitation of resources of that kind in several respect:
*It would allow scholars for building interoperable CMC corpora for different languages and thus enhance the empirical basis for doing '''CMC research across languages and cultures'''.
*It would allow scholars for building CMC resources which are interoperable with text and speech corpora that are already represented in TEI and thus pave the way for corpus-based '''research on language use across different types of corpora''' (= comparative analysis of the language use in CMC, in edited text and in spoken language).
*Through including models for the description of not only verbal but also of non-verbal acts, it would allow scholars to describe and analyse '''CMC accross different modalities'''.

The '''TEI special interest group (SIG) "computer-mediated communication"''' is developing and discussing suggestions for adapting the TEI guidelines for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication. The focus of the group's work is on (but not limited to) tasks such as:
*modeling user contributions (''posts'') to written CMC interactions (which share features both with written and spoken language) as well as the interplay of written posts, spoken utterances and non-verbal acts in multimodal CMC environments;
*modeling CMC document structures (''"CMC macrostructures"'' – e.g., forum threads, wiki talk pages, chat logfiles, Twitter timelines etc.);
*annotating linguistic features within user posts (''"CMC microstructures"'' – elements such as emoticons, addressing terms, hashtags; quotes from prior posts; etc.);
*representing linked data and media objects connected with/embedded in CMC discourse;
*metadata schemas for the description of CMC resources;
*developing perspectives for the representation of discourse in multimodal cmc environments in which the participants in one interaction space combine a variety of modalities from written, spoken and non-verbal modes.

= Documentation of schema drafts from the SIG =
There are several TEI schemas that have been developed and discussed in the context of the work of the SIG. When designing new drafts, the models specified in previous drafts as well as the discussions within the group have been taken into consideration. The drafts are listed below in reverse chronological order:

=== ''"CMC-core schema"'' (2019): TEI Schema and ODD from the ''TEI CMC SIG'' ===

'''Context:''' The ODD describes the the core of the previous schemata, i.e. the basic setup that one needs to encode a CMC corpus, but which is not in the TEI yet. It was developed by four core members of the TEI CMC SIG.

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Laura Herzberg, Harald Lüngen, Ciara Wigham.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous customisations (CLARIN-D, CoMeRe, DeRiK):''' More reducing to the max:
*Removal of the <prod> element; we came to the conclusion that its functions are well expressed by the available TEI elements <kinesic> and <incident>.
*Removal of elements and redefinitions that were needed only for wiki talk corpora; these should not be part of the core and were moved in a sub-schema.
*Renaming of the former attribute @auto as @creation and a redefinition of its value set

'''ODD / documentation of the schema:''' see detail page: '''[[SIG:CMC/CMC-core schema for representing CMC in TEI (2019)]]'''

'''Articles describing CMC-core and its use:'''

*Michael Beißwenger, Laura Herzberg, Harald Lüngen, Ciara R. Wigham: ''CMC-core: A basic schema for encoding CMC corpora in TEI''. Conference poster, 7th Conference on CMC and Social Media Corpora for the Humanities (CMC-Corpora2019). University Cergy-Pontoise, Paris, France, September 9, 2019.( [https://www.uni-due.de/germanistik/chatkorpus/tei/cmccore/poster_teicmccore_2019-08-31.pdf conference poster as pdf] | [https://cmccorpora19.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/15 abstract in conference proceedings] )

=== ''"CLARIN-D schema"'' (2015): TEI Schema and ODD from the CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN'' ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres (chats, tweets, whatsapp, wikipedia talk pages, ...) as part of the work of the German [http://de.clarin.eu/en/curation-project-1-3-german-philology CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN''].

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Eric Ehrhardt, Axel Herold, Harald Lüngen, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous schema drafts (CoMeRe, DeRiK):'''
*Reduction of new elements through re-modeling some CMC-specific concepts from the previous schemas with „standard“ TEI (guiding principle: "reduce to the max": introduction of new models and modification of existing models only for concepts which are needed ''in any case''; for everything else: definition of best practices for the use of existing models in TEI-P5)
*Definition of an interface to part-of-speech annotations (using <w> and <phr>)

'''ODD / documentation of the schema:''' see detail page: '''[[SIG:CMC/CLARIN-D schema draft for representing CMC in TEI (2015)]]'''

'''Presentations of the CLARIN-D schema:''' The schema will be discussed in two panels at the following conferences:
* ''[http://wiki.tei-c.org/images/0/0b/TEIMM2015_panelproposal_submitted-3.pdf TEI across corpora, languages and genres: Towards a standard for the representation of social media and computer-mediated communication.]'' Panel at the Annual Conference and Members Meeting of the Text Encoding Initiative 2015: [http://tei2015.huma-num.fr/en/ "Connect, Animate, Innovate"], Université Lumière, Lyon 2 (F), 29 October 2015 (organized by Michael Beißwenger & Thierry Chanier).

=== ''"CoMeRe schema"'' (2014): TEI schema and ODD from the CoMeRe network ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed in the context of the French network [https://corpuscomere.wordpress.com/ CoMeRe (Communication médiée par les réseaux)] and used for annotation of [http://www.ortolang.fr/api/content/comere/latest/comere.html several corpora of French CMC] (SMS, tweets, chat, weblogs, multimodal CMC, ...).

'''Authors:''' Thierry Chanier, Céline Poudat, Benoit Sagot, Georges Antoniadis, Ciara R. Wigham, Linda Hriba, Julien Longhi, Djamé Seddah.

'''Main characteristics compared to the previous schema draft (DeRiK):'''
*Introduction of an element <prod> for the representation of non-verbal acts
*(re-)efinition of <post>, <prod> and as models which may be combined within one interaction (= installation of one main result of the [[SIG:CMC/1st SIG meeting in Rome, 3 October 2013|SIG meeting 2013 in Rome]]). => make the schema fit for multimodal CMC
*includes a metadata schema for CMC

=== ''"DeRiK schema"'' (2012): TEI schema and ODD for CMC from the DeRiK project ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres as part of the preliminary work for the project [http://llc.oxfordjournals.org/content/28/4/531.full?keytype=ref&ijkey=GXFixqNNy0uW7cO "Building a reference corpzus of German CMC" (DeRiK)]. It is also part of the results of the DFG scientific network ''[http://www.empirikom.net Empirikom]''. After publication in the jTEI (Beißwenger et al. 2012) the schema has further been tested with the Wikipedia talk pages corpus in DeReKo (Margaretha & Lüngen 2014).

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Maria Ermakova, Alexander Geyken, Lothar Lemnitzer, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics:'''
*Introduction of an element model <post> for written user contributions to CMC interactions which combines features of text divisions and spoken utterances.
*Adaptation of the existing element model <div> for the representation of CMC threads and logfiles.
*Models for CMC-specific phenomena below the <post> level.

'''Extension of CMC-core for the annotation of wiki talk pages:'''

A '''[https://www.uni-due.de/germanistik/chatkorpus/tei/cmccore/cmc-wikitalk.zip ''cmc-wikitalk'' schema version]''' was produced by ODD chaining with CMC-core and was used for encoding the wikipedia talk example.

=== About this schema ===

This ODD describes an encoding schema for genres of computer-mediated communication (CMC) / social media. It is meant to define a basic setup that one needs to encode CMC corpora, but which is not in the TEI yet.

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Harald Lüngen, Laura Herzberg, and Ciara R. Wigham.

The schema is based on version P5 (3.3.0) of the [http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/P5/ TEI Guidelines for Electronic Text Encoding and Interchange] (henceforth: ‘TEI-P5’) and uses customizations to adapt the models defined in TEI-P5 for the modeling of structural and linguistic peculiarities of CMC genres. The schema takes into consideration previous schema drafts that have been developed by members of the SIG (the 'DeRiK schema' described in [https://jtei.revues.org/476 Beißwenger et al. 2012], the 'CoMeRe schema' described in [http://www.jlcl.org/2014_Heft2/1Chanier-et-al.pdf Chanier et al. 2014], and the 'CLARIN-D schema' described in [https://www.linguistics.rub.de/konvens16/proceedings.html Lüngen et al. (2016)]) as well as discussions on a core schema at the [https://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php?title=SIG:CMC/SIG_meeting_in_Vienna,_30_September_2016 SIG meeting in Vienna at the TEI conference on 30 September 2016]] and a meeting of the SIG core group in Essen on 21 June 2017.

=== Status of the schema ===

This schema and examples shall accompany a TEI feature request to be submitted to the TEI Council by the end of 2019. A rationale for the models included in the schema is given in the ODD and in the articles under [[#References]].

=== Characteristics of the schema: TEI customizations ===

The ODD introduces '''four types of customizations''' :

# A new module named 'cmc' is introduced. It is referenced by the new model classe model.divPart.cmc, by the new attribute class att.global.cmc, and by the new element <post>.
# The new element <post> has is introduced.
# The new attribute class att.global.cmc is introduced. It defines the new global attribute creation. The existing attribute class att.global has been modified to additionally be a member of att.global.cmc
# The class model.divPart.cmc is defined. model.divPart.cmc is a member of model.divPart and serves as a container of the new, CMC-specific element <post>.

In addition to these customizations, we have prepared encoding examples for the genres chat, wiki talk, second life, and twitter, based on existing corpora.

= Mission statement =

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments. A TEI standard for the representation of those genres and their structural and linguistic peculiarities is a desideratum both in the fields of digital humanities and computer sciences. Such a standard would foster interoperability between language resources as well as the analysis and automatic exploitation of resources of that kind in several respect:
*It would allow scholars for building interoperable CMC corpora for different languages and thus enhance the empirical basis for doing '''CMC research across languages and cultures'''.
*It would allow scholars for building CMC resources which are interoperable with text and speech corpora that are already represented in TEI and thus pave the way for corpus-based '''research on language use across different types of corpora''' (= comparative analysis of the language use in CMC, in edited text and in spoken language).
*Through including models for the description of not only verbal but also of non-verbal acts, it would allow scholars to describe and analyse '''CMC accross different modalities'''.

The '''TEI special interest group (SIG) "computer-mediated communication"''' is developing and discussing suggestions for adapting the TEI guidelines for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication. The focus of the group's work is on (but not limited to) tasks such as:
*modeling user contributions (''posts'') to written CMC interactions (which share features both with written and spoken language) as well as the interplay of written posts, spoken utterances and non-verbal acts in multimodal CMC environments;
*modeling CMC document structures (''"CMC macrostructures"'' – e.g., forum threads, wiki talk pages, chat logfiles, Twitter timelines etc.);
*annotating linguistic features within user posts (''"CMC microstructures"'' – elements such as emoticons, addressing terms, hashtags; quotes from prior posts; etc.);
*representing linked data and media objects connected with/embedded in CMC discourse;
*metadata schemas for the description of CMC resources;
*developing perspectives for the representation of discourse in multimodal cmc environments in which the participants in one interaction space combine a variety of modalities from written, spoken and non-verbal modes.

= Documentation of schema drafts from the SIG =
There are several TEI schemas that have been developed and discussed in the context of the work of the SIG. When designing new drafts, the models specified in previous drafts as well as the discussions within the group have been taken into consideration. The drafts are listed below in reverse chronological order:

=== ''"CMC-core schema"'' (2019): TEI Schema and ODD from the ''TEI CMC SIG'' ===

'''Context:''' The ODD describes the the core of the previous schemata, i.e. the basic setup that one needs to encode a CMC corpus, but which is not in the TEI yet. It was developed by four core members of the TEI CMC SIG.

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Laura Herzberg, Harald Lüngen, Ciara Wigham.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous customisations (CLARIN-D, CoMeRe, DeRiK):''' More reducing to the max:
*Removal of the <prod> element; we came to the conclusion that its functions are well expressed by the available TEI elements <kinesic> and <incident>.
*Removal of elements and redefinitions that were needed only for wiki talk corpora; these should not be part of the core and were moved in a sub-schema.
*Renaming of the former attribute @auto as @creation and a redefinition of its value set

=== ''"CLARIN-D schema"'' (2015): TEI Schema and ODD from the CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN'' ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres (chats, tweets, whatsapp, wikipedia talk pages, ...) as part of the work of the German [http://de.clarin.eu/en/curation-project-1-3-german-philology CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN''].

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Eric Ehrhardt, Axel Herold, Harald Lüngen, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous schema drafts (CoMeRe, DeRiK):'''
*Reduction of new elements through re-modeling some CMC-specific concepts from the previous schemas with „standard“ TEI (guiding principle: "reduce to the max": introduction of new models and modification of existing models only for concepts which are needed ''in any case''; for everything else: definition of best practices for the use of existing models in TEI-P5)
*Definition of an interface to part-of-speech annotations (using <w> and <phr>)

'''ODD / documentation of the schema:''' see detail page: '''[[SIG:CMC/CLARIN-D schema draft for representing CMC in TEI (2015)]]'''

'''Presentations of the CLARIN-D schema:''' The schema will be discussed in two panels at the following conferences:

=== ''"CoMeRe schema"'' (2014): TEI schema and ODD from the CoMeRe network ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed in the context of the French network [https://corpuscomere.wordpress.com/ CoMeRe (Communication médiée par les réseaux)] and used for annotation of [http://www.ortolang.fr/api/content/comere/latest/comere.html several corpora of French CMC] (SMS, tweets, chat, weblogs, multimodal CMC, ...).

'''Authors:''' Thierry Chanier, Céline Poudat, Benoit Sagot, Georges Antoniadis, Ciara R. Wigham, Linda Hriba, Julien Longhi, Djamé Seddah.

'''Main characteristics compared to the previous schema draft (DeRiK):'''
*Introduction of an element <prod> for the representation of non-verbal acts
*(re-)efinition of <post>, <prod> and as models which may be combined within one interaction (= installation of one main result of the [[SIG:CMC/1st SIG meeting in Rome, 3 October 2013|SIG meeting 2013 in Rome]]). => make the schema fit for multimodal CMC

= Mission statement =

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments. A TEI standard for the representation of those genres and their structural and linguistic peculiarities is a desideratum both in the fields of digital humanities and computer sciences. Such a standard would foster interoperability between language resources as well as the analysis and automatic exploitation of resources of that kind in several respect:
*It would allow scholars for building interoperable CMC corpora for different languages and thus enhance the empirical basis for doing '''CMC research across languages and cultures'''.
*It would allow scholars for building CMC resources which are interoperable with text and speech corpora that are already represented in TEI and thus pave the way for corpus-based '''research on language use across different types of corpora''' (= comparative analysis of the language use in CMC, in edited text and in spoken language).
*Through including models for the description of not only verbal but also of non-verbal acts, it would allow scholars to describe and analyse '''CMC accross different modalities'''.

The '''TEI special interest group (SIG) "computer-mediated communication"''' is developing and discussing suggestions for adapting the TEI guidelines for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication. The focus of the group's work is on (but not limited to) tasks such as:
*modeling user contributions (''posts'') to written CMC interactions (which share features both with written and spoken language) as well as the interplay of written posts, spoken utterances and non-verbal acts in multimodal CMC environments;
*modeling CMC document structures (''"CMC macrostructures"'' – e.g., forum threads, wiki talk pages, chat logfiles, Twitter timelines etc.);
*annotating linguistic features within user posts (''"CMC microstructures"'' – elements such as emoticons, addressing terms, hashtags; quotes from prior posts; etc.);
*representing linked data and media objects connected with/embedded in CMC discourse;
*metadata schemas for the description of CMC resources;
*developing perspectives for the representation of discourse in multimodal cmc environments in which the participants in one interaction space combine a variety of modalities from written, spoken and non-verbal modes.

= Documentation of schema drafts from the SIG =
There are several TEI schemas that have been developed and discussed in the context of the work of the SIG. When designing new drafts, the models specified in previous drafts as well as the discussions within the group have been taken into consideration. The drafts are listed below in reverse chronological order:

=== ''"CMC-core schema"'' (2019): TEI Schema and ODD from the ''TEI CMC SIG'' ===

'''Context:''' The ODD describes the the core of the previous schemata, i.e. the basic setup that one needs to encode a CMC corpus, but which is not in the TEI yet. It was developed by four core members of the TEI CMC SIG.

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Laura Herzberg, Harald Lüngen, Ciara Wigham.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous customisations (CLARIN-D, CoMeRe, DeRiK):''' More reducing to the max:
*Removal of the <prod> element; we came to the conclusion that its functions are well expressed by the available TEI elements <kinesic> and <incident>.
*Removal of elements and redefinitions that were needed only for wiki talk corpora; these should not be part of the core and were moved in a sub-schema.
*Renaming of the former attribute @auto as @creation and a redefinition of its value set

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Eric Ehrhardt, Axel Herold, Harald Lüngen, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous schema drafts (CoMeRe, DeRiK):'''
*Reduction of new elements through re-modeling some CMC-specific concepts from the previous schemas with „standard“ TEI (guiding principle: "reduce to the max": introduction of new models and modification of existing models only for concepts which are needed ''in any case''; for everything else: definition of best practices for the use of existing models in TEI-P5)
*Definition of an interface to part-of-speech annotations (using <w> and <phr>)

'''ODD / documentation of the schema:''' see detail page: '''[[SIG:CMC/CLARIN-D schema draft for representing CMC in TEI (2015)]]'''

'''Extension of CMC-core for the annotation of wiki talk pages:'''

A '''[https://www.uni-due.de/germanistik/chatkorpus/tei/cmccore/cmc-wikitalk.zip ''cmc-wikitalk'' schema version]''' was produced by ODD chaining with CMC-core and was used for encoding the wikipedia talk example.

=== About this schema ===

This ODD describes an encoding schema for genres of computer-mediated communication (CMC) / social media. It is meant to define a basic setup that one needs to encode CMC corpora, but which is not in the TEI yet.

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Harald Lüngen, Laura Herzberg, and Ciara R. Wigham.

The schema is based on version P5 (3.3.0) of the [http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/P5/ TEI Guidelines for Electronic Text Encoding and Interchange] (henceforth: ‘TEI-P5’) and uses customizations to adapt the models defined in TEI-P5 for the modeling of structural and linguistic peculiarities of CMC genres. The schema takes into consideration previous schema drafts that have been developed by members of the SIG (the 'DeRiK schema' described in [https://jtei.revues.org/476 Beißwenger et al. 2012], the 'CoMeRe schema' described in [http://www.jlcl.org/2014_Heft2/1Chanier-et-al.pdf Chanier et al. 2014], and the 'CLARIN-D schema' described in [https://www.linguistics.rub.de/konvens16/proceedings.html Lüngen et al. (2016)]) as well as discussions on a core schema at the [https://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php?title=SIG:CMC/SIG_meeting_in_Vienna,_30_September_2016 SIG meeting in Vienna at the TEI conference on 30 September 2016]] and a meeting of the SIG core group in Essen on 21 June 2017.

=== Status of the schema ===

This schema and examples shall accompany a TEI feature request to be submitted to the TEI Council by the end of 2019. A rationale for the models included in the schema is given in the ODD and in the articles under [[#References]].

=== Characteristics of the schema: TEI customizations ===

The ODD introduces '''four types of customizations''' :

# A new module named 'cmc' is introduced. It is referenced by the new model classe model.divPart.cmc, by the new attribute class att.global.cmc, and by the new element <post>.
# The new element <post> has is introduced.
# The new attribute class att.global.cmc is introduced. It defines the new global attribute creation. The existing attribute class att.global has been modified to additionally be a member of att.global.cmc
# The class model.divPart.cmc is defined. model.divPart.cmc is a member of model.divPart and serves as a container of the new, CMC-specific element <post>.

In addition to these customizations, we have prepared encoding examples for the genres chat, wiki talk, second life, and twitter, based on existing corpora.

The schema takes into consideration previous schema drafts that have been developed by members of the SIG (the 'DeRiK schema' described in [https://jtei.revues.org/476 Beißwenger et al. 2012], the 'CoMeRe schema' described in [http://www.jlcl.org/2014_Heft2/1Chanier-et-al.pdf Chanier et al. 2014], and the 'CLARIN-D schema' described in [https://www.linguistics.rub.de/konvens16/proceedings.html Lüngen et al. (2016)]) as well as discussions on a core schema at the [https://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php?title=SIG:CMC/SIG_meeting_in_Vienna,_30_September_2016 SIG meeting in Vienna at the TEI conference on 30 September 2016]] and a meeting of the SIG core group in Essen on 21 June 2017.

=== Status of the schema ===

This schema and examples shall accompany a TEI feature request to be submitted to the TEI Council by the end of 2019. A rationale for the models included in the schema is given in the ODD and in the articles under [[#References]].

=== Characteristics of the schema: TEI customizations ===

The ODD introduces '''four types of customizations''' :

# A new module named 'cmc' is introduced. It is referenced by the new model classe model.divPart.cmc, by the new attribute class att.global.cmc, and by the new element <post>.
# The new element <post> has is introduced.
# The new attribute class att.global.cmc is introduced. It defines the new global attribute creation. The existing attribute class att.global has been modified to additionally be a member of att.global.cmc
# The class model.divPart.cmc is defined. model.divPart.cmc is a member of model.divPart and serves as a container of the new, CMC-specific element <post>.

In addition to these customizations, we have prepared encoding examples for the genres chat, wiki talk, second life, and twitter, based on existing corpora.

=== About this schema ===

This ODD describes an encoding schema for genres of computer-mediated communication (CMC) / social media. It is meant as a contribution to the work and discussions in the [[SIG:Computer-Mediated Communication|special interest group “Computer-mediated communication" (CMC-SIG)]] of the [http://tei-c.org Text Encoding Initiative (TEI)]. The schema has been developed in the context of the [http://de.clarin.eu/en/curation-project-1-3-german-philology CLARIN-D curation project "ChatCorpus2CLARIN"].

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Eric Ehrhardt, Axel Herold, Harald Lüngen and Angelika Storrer.

The schema is based on version P5 (2.9.0) of the [http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/P5/ TEI Guidelines for Electronic Text Encoding and Interchange] (henceforth: ‘TEI-P5’) and uses customizations to adapt the models defined in TEI-P5 for the modeling of structural and linguistic peculiarities of CMC genres. The schema takes into consideration previous schema drafts that have been developed by members of the SIG (the 'DeRiK schema' described in [https://jtei.revues.org/476 Beißwenger et al. 2012], the 'CoMeRe schema' described in [http://www.jlcl.org/2014_Heft2/1Chanier-et-al.pdf Chanier et al. 2014]) as well as feedback and discussions on these previous drafts received at the [[SIG:Computer-Mediated_Communication#Documentation_of_SIG_activities|TEI conferences 2011 and 2013]] and at workshops held in the context of the [http://www.empirikom.net/ DFG scientific network Empirikom].

=== Status of the schema ===

Consider this schema as a draft and as a basis for further discussions. A rationale for the models included in the schema will be given as part of the panel [http://wiki.tei-c.org/images/0/0b/TEIMM2015_panelproposal_submitted-3.pdf “TEI across corpora, languages and genres: Towards a standard for the representation of social media and computer-mediated communication”] at the [http://tei2015.huma-num.fr/en/panelsround-tables/ TEI Conference and Members Meeting 2015 in Lyon]. We are looking forward to feedback and further suggestions at the conference, via the [[SIG:Computer-Mediated Communication|SIG space in the TEI wiki]] and/or via the SIG’s mailing list (tei-cmc@googlegroups.com).

=== Characteristics of the schema: TEI customizations and best practices ===

The schema uses '''four types of customizations''':
# The content models of three elements from TEI-P5 have been modified (<s>, , <quote>) to include the model model.floatP.cmc (s.b.)
# The three new elements <post>, <prod>, and <signatureContent> have been introduced.
# Two attribute classes have been modified to introduce the CMC-specific new attribute auto, and to allow the existing attribute who to appear on all elements: att.ascribed, att.global
# Two classes have been introduced to combine the new, CMC-specific elements (model.divPart.cmc), or to combine existing TEI-P5 elements for less restricted usage in CMC documents (model.floatP.cmc): <opener>, <closer> <signed>, <postscript>, <trailer>.

In addition to these customizations, we have defined '''best practices''' for using the TEI-P5 models <w>, <phr>, <signed>, <time>, <div>, <name> and others for annotating CMC phenomena and for adding part-of-speech information for every word token. We'll describe these best practices in the panel at the TEI-MM in Lyon.

= Mission statement =

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments. A TEI standard for the representation of those genres and their structural and linguistic peculiarities is a desideratum both in the fields of digital humanities and computer sciences. Such a standard would foster interoperability between language resources as well as the analysis and automatic exploitation of resources of that kind in several respect:
*It would allow scholars for building interoperable CMC corpora for different languages and thus enhance the empirical basis for doing '''CMC research across languages and cultures'''.
*It would allow scholars for building CMC resources which are interoperable with text and speech corpora that are already represented in TEI and thus pave the way for corpus-based '''research on language use across different types of corpora''' (= comparative analysis of the language use in CMC, in edited text and in spoken language).
*Through including models for the description of not only verbal but also of non-verbal acts, it would allow scholars to describe and analyse '''CMC accross different modalities'''.

The '''TEI special interest group (SIG) "computer-mediated communication"''' is developing and discussing suggestions for adapting the TEI guidelines for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication. The focus of the group's work is on (but not limited to) tasks such as:
*modeling user contributions (''posts'') to written CMC interactions (which share features both with written and spoken language) as well as the interplay of written posts, spoken utterances and non-verbal acts in multimodal CMC environments;
*modeling CMC document structures (''"CMC macrostructures"'' – e.g., forum threads, wiki talk pages, chat logfiles, Twitter timelines etc.);
*annotating linguistic features within user posts (''"CMC microstructures"'' – elements such as emoticons, addressing terms, hashtags; quotes from prior posts; etc.);
*representing linked data and media objects connected with/embedded in CMC discourse;
*metadata schemas for the description of CMC resources;
*developing perspectives for the representation of discourse in multimodal cmc environments in which the participants in one interaction space combine a variety of modalities from written, spoken and non-verbal modes.

= Documentation of schema drafts from the SIG =
There are several TEI schemas that have been developed and discussed in the context of the work of the SIG. When designing new drafts, the models specified in previous drafts as well as the discussions within the group have been taken into consideration. The drafts are listed below in reverse chronological order:

=== ''"CMC-core schema"'' (2019): TEI Schema and ODD from the ''TEI CMC SIG'' ===

'''Context:''' The ODD describes the the core of the previous schemata, i.e. the basic setup that one needs to encode a CMC corpus, but which is not in the TEI yet. It was developed by four core members of the TEI CMC SIG.

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Laura Herzberg, Harald Lüngen, Ciara Wigham.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous customisations (CLARIN-D, CoMeRe, DeRiK):''' More reducing to the max:
*Removal of the <prod> element; we came to the conclusion that its functions are well expressed by the available TEI elements <kinesic> and <incident>.
*Removal of elements and redefinitions that were needed only for wiki talk corpora; these should not be part of the core and were moved in a sub-schema.
*Renaming of the former attribute @auto as @creation and a redefinition of its value set

'''ODD / documentation of the schema:''' see detail page: '''[[SIG:CMC/CMC-core schema for representing CMC in TEI (2019)]]'''

'''Articles describing CMC-core and its use:'''
*Michael Beißwenger, Harald Lüngen (submitted): CMC-core: a schema for the representation of CMC corpora in TEI. (Preview version on request)

In: [https://cmccorpora19.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/15 Proceedings of the 7th Conference on CMC and Social Media Corpora for the Humanities (CMC-Corpora2019).] Cergy-Pontoise University.

=== ''"CLARIN-D schema"'' (2015): TEI Schema and ODD from the CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN'' ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres (chats, tweets, whatsapp, wikipedia talk pages, ...) as part of the work of the German [http://de.clarin.eu/en/curation-project-1-3-german-philology CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN''].

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Eric Ehrhardt, Axel Herold, Harald Lüngen, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous schema drafts (CoMeRe, DeRiK):'''
*Reduction of new elements through re-modeling some CMC-specific concepts from the previous schemas with „standard“ TEI (guiding principle: "reduce to the max": introduction of new models and modification of existing models only for concepts which are needed ''in any case''; for everything else: definition of best practices for the use of existing models in TEI-P5)
*Definition of an interface to part-of-speech annotations (using <w> and <phr>)

'''ODD / documentation of the schema:''' see detail page: '''[[SIG:CMC/CLARIN-D schema draft for representing CMC in TEI (2015)]]'''

'''Extension of CMC-core for the annotation of wiki talk'''

The cmc-wikitalk schema was produced by ODD chaining with CMC-core and was used for encoding the wikipedia talk example

=== About this schema ===

This ODD describes an encoding schema for genres of computer-mediated communication (CMC) / social media. It is meant to define a basic setup that one needs to encode CMC corpora, but which is not in the TEI yet.

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Harald Lüngen, Laura Herzberg, and Ciara R. Wigham.

The schema is based on version P5 (3.3.0) of the [http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/P5/ TEI Guidelines for Electronic Text Encoding and Interchange] (henceforth: ‘TEI-P5’) and uses customizations to adapt the models defined in TEI-P5 for the modeling of structural and linguistic peculiarities of CMC genres. The schema takes into consideration previous schema drafts that have been developed by members of the SIG (the 'DeRiK schema' described in [https://jtei.revues.org/476 Beißwenger et al. 2012], the 'CoMeRe schema' described in [http://www.jlcl.org/2014_Heft2/1Chanier-et-al.pdf Chanier et al. 2014], and the 'CLARIN-D schema' described in [https://www.linguistics.rub.de/konvens16/proceedings.html Lüngen et al. (2016)]) as well as discussions on a core schema at the [https://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php?title=SIG:CMC/SIG_meeting_in_Vienna,_30_September_2016 SIG meeting in Vienna at the TEI conference on 30 September 2016]] and a meeting of the SIG core group in Essen on 21 June 2017.

=== Status of the schema ===

This schema and examples shall accompany a TEI feature request to be submitted to the TEI Council by the end of 2019. A rationale for the models included in the schema is given in the ODD and in the articles under [[#References]].

=== Characteristics of the schema: TEI customizations ===

The ODD introduces '''four types of customizations''' :

# A new module named 'cmc' is introduced. It is referenced by the new model classe model.divPart.cmc, by the new attribute class att.global.cmc, and by the new element <post>.
# The new element <post> has is introduced.
# The new attribute class att.global.cmc is introduced. It defines the new global attribute creation. The existing attribute class att.global has been modified to additionally be a member of att.global.cmc
# The class model.divPart.cmc is defined. model.divPart.cmc is a member of model.divPart and serves as a container of the new, CMC-specific element <post>.

In addition to these customizations, we have prepared encoding examples for the genres chat, wiki talk, second life, and twitter, based on existing corpora.

=== About this schema ===

This ODD describes an encoding schema for genres of computer-mediated communication (CMC) / social media. It is meant as a contribution to the work and discussions in the [[SIG:Computer-Mediated Communication|special interest group “Computer-mediated communication" (CMC-SIG)]] of the [http://tei-c.org Text Encoding Initiative (TEI)]. The schema has been developed in the context of the [http://de.clarin.eu/en/curation-project-1-3-german-philology CLARIN-D curation project "ChatCorpus2CLARIN"].

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Eric Ehrhardt, Axel Herold, Harald Lüngen and Angelika Storrer.

The schema is based on version P5 (2.9.0) of the [http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/P5/ TEI Guidelines for Electronic Text Encoding and Interchange] (henceforth: ‘TEI-P5’) and uses customizations to adapt the models defined in TEI-P5 for the modeling of structural and linguistic peculiarities of CMC genres. The schema takes into consideration previous schema drafts that have been developed by members of the SIG (the 'DeRiK schema' described in [https://jtei.revues.org/476 Beißwenger et al. 2012], the 'CoMeRe schema' described in [http://www.jlcl.org/2014_Heft2/1Chanier-et-al.pdf Chanier et al. 2014]) as well as feedback and discussions on these previous drafts received at the [[SIG:Computer-Mediated_Communication#Documentation_of_SIG_activities|TEI conferences 2011 and 2013]] and at workshops held in the context of the [http://www.empirikom.net/ DFG scientific network Empirikom].

=== Status of the schema ===

Consider this schema as a draft and as a basis for further discussions. A rationale for the models included in the schema will be given as part of the panel [http://wiki.tei-c.org/images/0/0b/TEIMM2015_panelproposal_submitted-3.pdf “TEI across corpora, languages and genres: Towards a standard for the representation of social media and computer-mediated communication”] at the [http://tei2015.huma-num.fr/en/panelsround-tables/ TEI Conference and Members Meeting 2015 in Lyon]. We are looking forward to feedback and further suggestions at the conference, via the [[SIG:Computer-Mediated Communication|SIG space in the TEI wiki]] and/or via the SIG’s mailing list (tei-cmc@googlegroups.com).

=== Characteristics of the schema: TEI customizations and best practices ===

The schema uses '''four types of customizations''':
# The content models of three elements from TEI-P5 have been modified (<s>, , <quote>) to include the model model.floatP.cmc (s.b.)
# The three new elements <post>, <prod>, and <signatureContent> have been introduced.
# Two attribute classes have been modified to introduce the CMC-specific new attribute auto, and to allow the existing attribute who to appear on all elements: att.ascribed, att.global
# Two classes have been introduced to combine the new, CMC-specific elements (model.divPart.cmc), or to combine existing TEI-P5 elements for less restricted usage in CMC documents (model.floatP.cmc): <opener>, <closer> <signed>, <postscript>, <trailer>.

In addition to these customizations, we have defined '''best practices''' for using the TEI-P5 models <w>, <phr>, <signed>, <time>, <div>, <name> and others for annotating CMC phenomena and for adding part-of-speech information for every word token. We'll describe these best practices in the panel at the TEI-MM in Lyon.

= Mission statement =

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments. A TEI standard for the representation of those genres and their structural and linguistic peculiarities is a desideratum both in the fields of digital humanities and computer sciences. Such a standard would foster interoperability between language resources as well as the analysis and automatic exploitation of resources of that kind in several respect:
*It would allow scholars for building interoperable CMC corpora for different languages and thus enhance the empirical basis for doing '''CMC research across languages and cultures'''.
*It would allow scholars for building CMC resources which are interoperable with text and speech corpora that are already represented in TEI and thus pave the way for corpus-based '''research on language use across different types of corpora''' (= comparative analysis of the language use in CMC, in edited text and in spoken language).
*Through including models for the description of not only verbal but also of non-verbal acts, it would allow scholars to describe and analyse '''CMC accross different modalities'''.

The '''TEI special interest group (SIG) "computer-mediated communication"''' is developing and discussing suggestions for adapting the TEI guidelines for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication. The focus of the group's work is on (but not limited to) tasks such as:
*modeling user contributions (''posts'') to written CMC interactions (which share features both with written and spoken language) as well as the interplay of written posts, spoken utterances and non-verbal acts in multimodal CMC environments;
*modeling CMC document structures (''"CMC macrostructures"'' – e.g., forum threads, wiki talk pages, chat logfiles, Twitter timelines etc.);
*annotating linguistic features within user posts (''"CMC microstructures"'' – elements such as emoticons, addressing terms, hashtags; quotes from prior posts; etc.);
*representing linked data and media objects connected with/embedded in CMC discourse;
*metadata schemas for the description of CMC resources;
*developing perspectives for the representation of discourse in multimodal cmc environments in which the participants in one interaction space combine a variety of modalities from written, spoken and non-verbal modes.

= Documentation of schema drafts from the SIG =
There are several TEI schemas that have been developed and discussed in the context of the work of the SIG. When designing new drafts, the models specified in previous drafts as well as the discussions within the group have been taken into consideration. The drafts are listed below in reverse chronological order:

=== ''"CLARIN-D schema"'' (2015): TEI Schema and ODD from the CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN'' ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres (chats, tweets, whatsapp, wikipedia talk pages, ...) as part of the work of the German [http://de.clarin.eu/en/curation-project-1-3-german-philology CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN''].

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Eric Ehrhardt, Axel Herold, Harald Lüngen, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous schema drafts (CoMeRe, DeRiK):'''
*Reduction of new elements through re-modeling some CMC-specific concepts from the previous schemas with „standard“ TEI (guiding principle: "reduce to the max": introduction of new models and modification of existing models only for concepts which are needed ''in any case''; for everything else: definition of best practices for the use of existing models in TEI-P5)
*Definition of an interface to part-of-speech annotations (using <w> and <phr>)

'''ODD / documentation of the schema:''' see detail page: '''[[SIG:CMC/CLARIN-D schema draft for representing CMC in TEI (2015)]]'''

'''Presentations of the CLARIN-D schema:''' The schema will be discussed in two panels at the following conferences:

=== ''"CoMeRe schema"'' (2014): TEI schema and ODD from the CoMeRe network ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed in the context of the French network [https://corpuscomere.wordpress.com/ CoMeRe (Communication médiée par les réseaux)] and used for annotation of [http://www.ortolang.fr/api/content/comere/latest/comere.html several corpora of French CMC] (SMS, tweets, chat, weblogs, multimodal CMC, ...).

'''Authors:''' Thierry Chanier, Céline Poudat, Benoit Sagot, Georges Antoniadis, Ciara R. Wigham, Linda Hriba, Julien Longhi, Djamé Seddah.

'''Main characteristics compared to the previous schema draft (DeRiK):'''
*Introduction of an element <prod> for the representation of non-verbal acts
*(re-)efinition of <post>, <prod> and as models which may be combined within one interaction (= installation of one main result of the [[SIG:CMC/1st SIG meeting in Rome, 3 October 2013|SIG meeting 2013 in Rome]]). => make the schema fit for multimodal CMC

= Mission statement = test

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments. A TEI standard for the representation of those genres and their structural and linguistic peculiarities is a desideratum both in the fields of digital humanities and computer sciences. Such a standard would foster interoperability between language resources as well as the analysis and automatic exploitation of resources of that kind in several respect:
*It would allow scholars for building interoperable CMC corpora for different languages and thus enhance the empirical basis for doing '''CMC research across languages and cultures'''.
*It would allow scholars for building CMC resources which are interoperable with text and speech corpora that are already represented in TEI and thus pave the way for corpus-based '''research on language use across different types of corpora''' (= comparative analysis of the language use in CMC, in edited text and in spoken language).
*Through including models for the description of not only verbal but also of non-verbal acts, it would allow scholars to describe and analyse '''CMC accross different modalities'''.

The '''TEI special interest group (SIG) "computer-mediated communication"''' is developing and discussing suggestions for adapting the TEI guidelines for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication. The focus of the group's work is on (but not limited to) tasks such as:
*modeling user contributions (''posts'') to written CMC interactions (which share features both with written and spoken language) as well as the interplay of written posts, spoken utterances and non-verbal acts in multimodal CMC environments;
*modeling CMC document structures (''"CMC macrostructures"'' – e.g., forum threads, wiki talk pages, chat logfiles, Twitter timelines etc.);
*annotating linguistic features within user posts (''"CMC microstructures"'' – elements such as emoticons, addressing terms, hashtags; quotes from prior posts; etc.);
*representing linked data and media objects connected with/embedded in CMC discourse;
*metadata schemas for the description of CMC resources;
*developing perspectives for the representation of discourse in multimodal cmc environments in which the participants in one interaction space combine a variety of modalities from written, spoken and non-verbal modes.

= Documentation of schema drafts from the SIG =
There are several TEI schemas that have been developed and discussed in the context of the work of the SIG. When designing new drafts, the models specified in previous drafts as well as the discussions within the group have been taken into consideration. The drafts are listed below in reverse chronological order:

=== ''"CLARIN-D schema"'' (2015): TEI Schema and ODD from the CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN'' ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres (chats, tweets, whatsapp, wikipedia talk pages, ...) as part of the work of the German [http://de.clarin.eu/en/curation-project-1-3-german-philology CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN''].

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Eric Ehrhardt, Axel Herold, Harald Lüngen, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous schema drafts (CoMeRe, DeRiK):'''
*Reduction of new elements through re-modeling some CMC-specific concepts from the previous schemas with „standard“ TEI (guiding principle: "reduce to the max": introduction of new models and modification of existing models only for concepts which are needed ''in any case''; for everything else: definition of best practices for the use of existing models in TEI-P5)
*Definition of an interface to part-of-speech annotations (using <w> and <phr>)

'''ODD / documentation of the schema:''' see detail page: '''[[SIG:CMC/CLARIN-D schema draft for representing CMC in TEI (2015)]]'''

'''Presentations of the CLARIN-D schema:''' The schema will be discussed in two panels at the following conferences:

=== ''"CoMeRe schema"'' (2014): TEI schema and ODD from the CoMeRe network ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed in the context of the French network [https://corpuscomere.wordpress.com/ CoMeRe (Communication médiée par les réseaux)] and used for annotation of [http://www.ortolang.fr/api/content/comere/latest/comere.html several corpora of French CMC] (SMS, tweets, chat, weblogs, multimodal CMC, ...).

'''Authors:''' Thierry Chanier, Céline Poudat, Benoit Sagot, Georges Antoniadis, Ciara R. Wigham, Linda Hriba, Julien Longhi, Djamé Seddah.

'''Main characteristics compared to the previous schema draft (DeRiK):'''
*Introduction of an element <prod> for the representation of non-verbal acts
*(re-)efinition of <post>, <prod> and as models which may be combined within one interaction (= installation of one main result of the [[SIG:CMC/1st SIG meeting in Rome, 3 October 2013|SIG meeting 2013 in Rome]]). => make the schema fit for multimodal CMC

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments.

SIG:Computer-Mediated Communication

= Mission statement =

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments. A TEI standard for the representation of those genres and their structural and linguistic peculiarities is a desideratum both in the fields of digital humanities and computer sciences. Such a standard would foster interoperability between language resources as well as the analysis and automatic exploitation of resources of that kind in several respect:
*It would allow scholars for building interoperable CMC corpora for different languages and thus enhance the empirical basis for doing '''CMC research across languages and cultures'''.
*It would allow scholars for building CMC resources which are interoperable with text and speech corpora that are already represented in TEI and thus pave the way for corpus-based '''research on language use across different types of corpora''' (= comparative analysis of the language use in CMC, in edited text and in spoken language).
*Through including models for the description of not only verbal but also of non-verbal acts, it would allow scholars to describe and analyse '''CMC accross different modalities'''.

The '''TEI special interest group (SIG) "computer-mediated communication"''' is developing and discussing suggestions for adapting the TEI guidelines for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication. The focus of the group's work is on (but not limited to) tasks such as:
*modeling user contributions (''posts'') to written CMC interactions (which share features both with written and spoken language) as well as the interplay of written posts, spoken utterances and non-verbal acts in multimodal CMC environments;
*modeling CMC document structures (''"CMC macrostructures"'' – e.g., forum threads, wiki talk pages, chat logfiles, Twitter timelines etc.);
*annotating linguistic features within user posts (''"CMC microstructures"'' – elements such as emoticons, addressing terms, hashtags; quotes from prior posts; etc.);
*representing linked data and media objects connected with/embedded in CMC discourse;
*metadata schemas for the description of CMC resources;
*developing perspectives for the representation of discourse in multimodal cmc environments in which the participants in one interaction space combine a variety of modalities from written, spoken and non-verbal modes.

= Documentation of schema drafts from the SIG =
There are several TEI schemas that have been developed and discussed in the context of the work of the SIG. When designing new drafts, the models specified in previous drafts as well as the discussions within the group have been taken into consideration. The drafts are listed below in reverse chronological order:

=== ''"CLARIN-D schema"'' (2015): TEI Schema and ODD from the CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN'' ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres (chats, tweets, whatsapp, wikipedia talk pages, ...) as part of the work of the German [http://de.clarin.eu/en/curation-project-1-3-german-philology CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN''].

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Eric Ehrhardt, Axel Herold, Harald Lüngen, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous schema drafts (CoMeRe, DeRiK):'''
*Reduction of new elements through re-modeling some CMC-specific concepts from the previous schemas with „standard“ TEI (guiding principle: "reduce to the max": introduction of new models and modification of existing models only for concepts which are needed ''in any case''; for everything else: definition of best practices for the use of existing models in TEI-P5)
*Definition of an interface to part-of-speech annotations (using <w> and <phr>)

'''ODD / documentation of the schema:''' see detail page: '''[[SIG:CMC/CLARIN-D schema draft for representing CMC in TEI (2015)]]'''

'''Presentations of the CLARIN-D schema:''' The schema will be discussed in two panels at the following conferences:

= Mission statement =

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments. A TEI standard for the representation of those genres and their structural and linguistic peculiarities is a desideratum both in the fields of digital humanities and computer sciences. Such a standard would foster interoperability between language resources as well as the analysis and automatic exploitation of resources of that kind in several respect:
*It would allow scholars for building interoperable CMC corpora for different languages and thus enhance the empirical basis for doing '''CMC research across languages and cultures'''.
*It would allow scholars for building CMC resources which are interoperable with text and speech corpora that are already represented in TEI and thus pave the way for corpus-based '''research on language use across different types of corpora''' (= comparative analysis of the language use in CMC, in edited text and in spoken language).
*Through including models for the description of not only verbal but also of non-verbal acts, it would allow scholars to describe and analyse '''CMC accross different modalities'''.

The '''TEI special interest group (SIG) "computer-mediated communication"''' is developing and discussing suggestions for adapting the TEI guidelines for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication. The focus of the group's work is on (but not limited to) tasks such as:
*modeling user contributions (''posts'') to written CMC interactions (which share features both with written and spoken language) as well as the interplay of written posts, spoken utterances and non-verbal acts in multimodal CMC environments;
*modeling CMC document structures (''"CMC macrostructures"'' – e.g., forum threads, wiki talk pages, chat logfiles, Twitter timelines etc.);
*annotating linguistic features within user posts (''"CMC microstructures"'' – elements such as emoticons, addressing terms, hashtags; quotes from prior posts; etc.);
*representing linked data and media objects connected with/embedded in CMC discourse;
*metadata schemas for the description of CMC resources;
*developing perspectives for the representation of discourse in multimodal cmc environments in which the participants in one interaction space combine a variety of modalities from written, spoken and non-verbal modes.

= Documentation of schema drafts from the SIG =
There are several TEI schemas that have been developed and discussed in the context of the work of the SIG. When designing new drafts, the models specified in previous drafts as well as the discussions within the group have been taken into consideration. The drafts are listed below in reverse chronological order:

=== ''"CLARIN-D schema"'' (2015): TEI Schema and ODD from the CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN'' ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres (chats, tweets, whatsapp, wikipedia talk pages, ...) as part of the work of the German [http://de.clarin.eu/en/curation-project-1-3-german-philology CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN''].

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Eric Ehrhardt, Axel Herold, Harald Lüngen, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous schema drafts (CoMeRe, DeRiK):'''
*Reduction of new elements through re-modeling some CMC-specific concepts from the previous schemas with „standard“ TEI (guiding principle: "reduce to the max": introduction of new models and modification of existing models only for concepts which are needed ''in any case''; for everything else: definition of best practices for the use of existing models in TEI-P5)
*Definition of an interface to part-of-speech annotations (using <w> and <phr>)

'''ODD / documentation of the schema:''' see detail page: '''[[SIG:CMC/CLARIN-D schema draft for representing CMC in TEI (2015)]]'''

'''Presentations of the CLARIN-D schema:''' The schema will be discussed in two panels at the following conferences:
* ''[http://wiki.tei-c.org/images/0/0b/TEIMM2015_panelproposal_submitted-3.pdf TEI across corpora, languages and genres: Towards a standard for the representation of social media and computer-mediated communication.]'' Panel at the Annual Conference and Members Meeting of the Text Encoding Initiative 2015: [http://tei2015.huma-num.fr/en/ "Connect, Animate, Innovate"], Université Lumière, Lyon 2 (F), 29 October 2015 (organized by Michael Beißwenger & Thierry Chanier).

=== ''"CoMeRe schema"'' (2014): TEI schema and ODD from the CoMeRe network ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed in the context of the French network [https://corpuscomere.wordpress.com/ CoMeRe (Communication médiée par les réseaux)] and used for annotation of [http://www.ortolang.fr/api/content/comere/latest/comere.html several corpora of French CMC] (SMS, tweets, chat, weblogs, multimodal CMC, ...).

'''Authors:''' Thierry Chanier, Céline Poudat, Benoit Sagot, Georges Antoniadis, Ciara R. Wigham, Linda Hriba, Julien Longhi, Djamé Seddah.

'''Main characteristics compared to the previous schema draft (DeRiK):'''
*Introduction of an element <prod> for the representation of non-verbal acts
*(re-)efinition of <post>, <prod> and as models which may be combined within one interaction (= installation of one main result of the [[SIG:CMC/1st SIG meeting in Rome, 3 October 2013|SIG meeting 2013 in Rome]]). => make the schema fit for multimodal CMC

It is also part of the results of the DFG scientific network ''[http://www.empirikom.net Empirikom]''. After publication in the jTEI (Beißwenger et al. 2012) the schema has further been tested with the Wikipedia talk pages corpus in DeReKo (Margaretha & Lüngen 2014).

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Maria Ermakova, Alexander Geyken, Lothar Lemnitzer, Angelika Storrer.

The three presentations in the panel gave a report about of experiences with modeling CMC in XML and an outline of phenomena and issues related with the representation of CMC in TEI from the perspective of corpus projects from France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. The overall goal of the panel was to stimulate the further discussion within the TEI community about how a standard for the representation of CMC in TEI should look like and what might be a practical and reasonable way to go about creating such a standard.

In addition to the 1st SIG meeting, [[User:Michael Beisswenger|Michael Beißwenger]] & Lothar Lemnitzer organized a special-topic panel on "'''Computer-mediated commuication in TEI: What lies ahead'''" with contributions of several members of the SIG that was held at the TEI-MM in Rome. The three presentations in the panel gave a report about of experiences with modeling CMC in XML and an outline of phenomena and issues related with the representation of CMC in TEI from the perspective of corpus projects from France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. The overall goal of the panel was to stimulate the further discussion within the TEI community about how a standard for the representation of CMC in TEI should look like and what might be a practical and reasonable way to go about creating such a standard.

= Mission statement =

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments. A TEI standard for the representation of those genres and their structural and linguistic peculiarities is a desideratum both in the fields of digital humanities and computer sciences. Such a standard would foster interoperability between language resources as well as the analysis and automatic exploitation of resources of that kind in several respect:
*It would allow scholars for building interoperable CMC corpora for different languages and thus enhance the empirical basis for doing '''CMC research across languages and cultures'''.
*It would allow scholars for building CMC resources which are interoperable with text and speech corpora that are already represented in TEI and thus pave the way for corpus-based '''research on language use across different types of corpora''' (= comparative analysis of the language use in CMC, in edited text and in spoken language).
*Through including models for the description of not only verbal but also of non-verbal acts, it would allow scholars to describe and analyse '''CMC accross different modalities'''.

The '''TEI special interest group (SIG) "computer-mediated communication"''' is developing and discussing suggestions for adapting the TEI guidelines for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication. The focus of the group's work is on (but not limited to) tasks such as:
*modeling user contributions (''posts'') to written CMC interactions (which share features both with written and spoken language) as well as the interplay of written posts, spoken utterances and non-verbal acts in multimodal CMC environments;
*modeling CMC document structures (''"CMC macrostructures"'' – e.g., forum threads, wiki talk pages, chat logfiles, Twitter timelines etc.);
*annotating linguistic features within user posts (''"CMC microstructures"'' – elements such as emoticons, addressing terms, hashtags; quotes from prior posts; etc.);
*representing linked data and media objects connected with/embedded in CMC discourse;
*metadata schemas for the description of CMC resources;
*developing perspectives for the representation of discourse in multimodal cmc environments in which the participants in one interaction space combine a variety of modalities from written, spoken and non-verbal modes.

= Documentation of schema drafts from the SIG =
There are several TEI schemas that have been developed and discussed in the context of the work of the SIG. When designing new drafts, the models specified in previous drafts as well as the discussions within the group have been taken into consideration. The drafts are listed below in reverse chronological order:

=== ''"CLARIN-D schema"'' (2015): TEI Schema and ODD from the CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN'' ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres (chats, tweets, whatsapp, wikipedia talk pages, ...) as part of the work of the German [http://de.clarin.eu/en/curation-project-1-3-german-philology CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN''].

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Eric Ehrhardt, Axel Herold, Harald Lüngen, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous schema drafts (CoMeRe, DeRiK):'''
*Reduction of new elements through re-modeling some CMC-specific concepts from the previous schemas with „standard“ TEI (guiding principle: "reduce to the max": introduction of new models and modification of existing models only for concepts which are needed ''in any case''; for everything else: definition of best practices for the use of existing models in TEI-P5)
*Definition of an interface to part-of-speech annotations (using <w> and <phr>)

'''ODD / documentation of the schema:''' see detail page: '''[[SIG:CMC/CLARIN-D schema draft for representing CMC in TEI (2015)]]'''

'''Presentations of the CLARIN-D schema:''' The schema will be discussed in two panels at the following conferences:

=== ''"CoMeRe schema"'' (2014): TEI schema and ODD from the CoMeRe network ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed in the context of the French network [https://corpuscomere.wordpress.com/ CoMeRe (Communication médiée par les réseaux)] and used for annotation of [http://www.ortolang.fr/api/content/comere/latest/comere.html several corpora of French CMC] (SMS, tweets, chat, weblogs, multimodal CMC, ...).

'''Authors:''' Thierry Chanier, Céline Poudat, Benoit Sagot, Georges Antoniadis, Ciara R. Wigham, Linda Hriba, Julien Longhi, Djamé Seddah.

'''Main characteristics compared to the previous schema draft (DeRiK):'''
*Introduction of an element <prod> for the representation of non-verbal acts
*(re-)efinition of <post>, <prod> and as models which may be combined within one interaction (= installation of one main result of the [[SIG:CMC/1st SIG meeting in Rome, 3 October 2013|SIG meeting 2013 in Rome]]). => make the schema fit for multimodal CMC

[[Category:SIG:Computer-Mediated Communication]]

= Mission statement =

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments. A TEI standard for the representation of those genres and their structural and linguistic peculiarities is a desideratum both in the fields of digital humanities and computer sciences. Such a standard would foster interoperability between language resources as well as the analysis and automatic exploitation of resources of that kind in several respect:
*It would allow scholars for building interoperable CMC corpora for different languages and thus enhance the empirical basis for doing '''CMC research across languages and cultures'''.
*It would allow scholars for building CMC resources which are interoperable with text and speech corpora that are already represented in TEI and thus pave the way for corpus-based '''research on language use across different types of corpora''' (= comparative analysis of the language use in CMC, in edited text and in spoken language).
*Through including models for the description of not only verbal but also of non-verbal acts, it would allow scholars to describe and analyse '''CMC accross different modalities'''.

The '''TEI special interest group (SIG) "computer-mediated communication"''' is developing and discussing suggestions for adapting the TEI guidelines for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication. The focus of the group's work is on (but not limited to) tasks such as:
*modeling user contributions (''posts'') to written CMC interactions (which share features both with written and spoken language) as well as the interplay of written posts, spoken utterances and non-verbal acts in multimodal CMC environments;
*modeling CMC document structures (''"CMC macrostructures"'' – e.g., forum threads, wiki talk pages, chat logfiles, Twitter timelines etc.);
*annotating linguistic features within user posts (''"CMC microstructures"'' – elements such as emoticons, addressing terms, hashtags; quotes from prior posts; etc.);
*representing linked data and media objects connected with/embedded in CMC discourse;
*metadata schemas for the description of CMC resources;
*developing perspectives for the representation of discourse in multimodal cmc environments in which the participants in one interaction space combine a variety of modalities from written, spoken and non-verbal modes.

= Documentation of schema drafts from the SIG =
There are several TEI schemas that have been developed and discussed in the context of the work of the SIG. When designing new drafts, the models specified in previous drafts as well as the discussions within the group have been taken into consideration. The drafts are listed below in reverse chronological order:

=== ''"CLARIN-D schema"'' (2015): TEI Schema and ODD from the CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN'' ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres (chats, tweets, whatsapp, wikipedia talk pages, ...) as part of the work of the German [http://de.clarin.eu/en/curation-project-1-3-german-philology CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN''].

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Eric Ehrhardt, Axel Herold, Harald Lüngen, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous schema drafts (CoMeRe, DeRiK):'''
*Reduction of new elements through re-modeling some CMC-specific concepts from the previous schemas with „standard“ TEI (guiding principle: "reduce to the max": introduction of new models and modification of existing models only for concepts which are needed ''in any case''; for everything else: definition of best practices for the use of existing models in TEI-P5)
*Definition of an interface to part-of-speech annotations (using <w> and <phr>)

'''ODD / documentation of the schema:''' see detail page: '''[[SIG:CMC/CLARIN-D schema draft for representing CMC in TEI (2015)]]'''

'''Presentations of the CLARIN-D schema:''' The schema will be discussed in two panels at the following conferences:
* ''[http://wiki.tei-c.org/images/0/0b/TEIMM2015_panelproposal_submitted-3.pdf TEI across corpora, languages and genres: Towards a standard for the representation of social media and computer-mediated communication.]'' Panel at the Annual Conference and Members Meeting of the Text Encoding Initiative 2015: [http://tei2015.huma-num.fr/en/ "Connect, Animate, Innovate"], Université Lumière, Lyon 2 (F), 29 October 2015 (organized by Michael Beißwenger & Thierry Chanier).
*''[http://wiki.tei-c.org/images/5/54/Teicmc4rennes.pdf Towards an encoding standard for social media and CMC: Experiences from German and French corpus projects using TEI.]'' Panel at the [http://ird-cmc-rennes.sciencesconf.org/ International Research Days: Social Media and CMC Corpora for the eHumanities], Université Rennes 2, Rennes (F), 23-24 October 2015 (organized by Michael Beißwenger & Thierry Chanier).

=== ''"CoMeRe schema"'' (2014): TEI schema and ODD from the CoMeRe network ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed in the context of the French network [https://corpuscomere.wordpress.com/ CoMeRe (Communication médiée par les réseaux)] and used for annotation of [http://www.ortolang.fr/api/content/comere/latest/comere.html several corpora of French CMC] (SMS, tweets, chat, weblogs, multimodal CMC, ...).

'''Authors:''' Thierry Chanier, Céline Poudat, Benoit Sagot, Georges Antoniadis, Ciara R. Wigham, Linda Hriba, Julien Longhi, Djamé Seddah.

'''Main characteristics compared to the previous schema draft (DeRiK):'''
*Introduction of an element <prod> for the representation of non-verbal acts
*(re-)efinition of <post>, <prod> and as models which may be combined within one interaction (= installation of one main result of the [[SIG:CMC/1st SIG meeting in Rome, 3 October 2013|SIG meeting 2013 in Rome]]). => make the schema fit for multimodal CMC
*includes a metadata schema for CMC

=== ''"DeRiK schema"'' (2012): TEI schema and ODD for CMC from the DeRiK project ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres as part of the preliminary work for the project [http://llc.oxfordjournals.org/content/28/4/531.full?keytype=ref&ijkey=GXFixqNNy0uW7cO "Building a reference corpzus of German CMC" (DeRiK)]. It is also part of the results of the DFG scientific network ''[http://www.empirikom.net Empirikom]''. After publication in the jTEI (Beißwenger et al. 2012) the schema has further been tested with the Wikipedia talk pages corpus in DeReKo (Margaretha & Lüngen 2014).

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Maria Ermakova, Alexander Geyken, Lothar Lemnitzer, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics:'''
*Introduction of an element model <post> for written user contributions to CMC interactions which combines features of text divisions and spoken utterances.
*Adaptation of the existing element model <div> for the representation of CMC threads and logfiles.
*Models for CMC-specific phenomena below the <post> level.

*It would allow scholars for building interoperable CMC corpora for different languages and thus enhance the empirical basis for doing '''CMC research across languages and cultures'''.
*It would allow scholars for building CMC resources which are interoperable with text and speech corpora that are already represented in TEI and thus pave the way for corpus-based '''research on language use across different types of corpora''' (= comparative analysis of the language use in CMC, in edited text and in spoken language).
*Through including models for the description of not only verbal but also of non-verbal acts, it would allow scholars to describe and analyse '''CMC accross different modalities'''.

The '''TEI special interest group (SIG) "computer-mediated communication"''' is developing and discussing suggestions for adapting the TEI guidelines for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication. The focus of the group's work is on (but not limited to) tasks such as:
*modeling user contributions (''posts'') to written CMC interactions (which share features both with written and spoken language) as well as the interplay of written posts, spoken utterances and non-verbal acts in multimodal CMC environments;
*modeling CMC document structures (''"CMC macrostructures"'' – e.g., forum threads, wiki talk pages, chat logfiles, Twitter timelines etc.);
*annotating linguistic features within user posts (''"CMC microstructures"'' – elements such as emoticons, addressing terms, hashtags; quotes from prior posts; etc.);
*representing linked data and media objects connected with/embedded in CMC discourse;
*metadata schemas for the description of CMC resources;
*developing perspectives for the representation of discourse in multimodal cmc environments in which the participants in one interaction space combine a variety of modalities from written, spoken and non-verbal modes.

= Documentation of schema drafts from the SIG =
There are several TEI schemas that have been developed and discussed in the context of the work of the SIG. When designing new drafts, the models specified in previous drafts as well as the discussions within the group have been taken into consideration. The drafts are listed below in reverse chronological order:

=== ''"CLARIN-D schema"'' (2015): TEI Schema and ODD from the CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN'' ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres (chats, tweets, whatsapp, wikipedia talk pages, ...) as part of the work of the German [http://de.clarin.eu/en/curation-project-1-3-german-philology CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN''].

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Eric Ehrhardt, Axel Herold, Harald Lüngen, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous schema drafts (CoMeRe, DeRiK):'''
*Reduction of new elements through re-modeling some CMC-specific concepts from the previous schemas with „standard“ TEI (guiding principle: "reduce to the max": introduction of new models and modification of existing models only for concepts which are needed ''in any case''; for everything else: definition of best practices for the use of existing models in TEI-P5)
*Definition of an interface to part-of-speech annotations (using <w> and <phr>)

'''ODD / documentation of the schema:''' see detail page: '''[[SIG:CMC/CLARIN-D schema draft for representing CMC in TEI (2015)]]'''

'''Presentations of the CLARIN-D schema:''' The schema will be discussed in two panels at the following conferences:
* ''[http://wiki.tei-c.org/images/0/0b/TEIMM2015_panelproposal_submitted-3.pdf TEI across corpora, languages and genres: Towards a standard for the representation of social media and computer-mediated communication.]'' Panel at the Annual Conference and Members Meeting of the Text Encoding Initiative 2015: [http://tei2015.huma-num.fr/en/ "Connect, Animate, Innovate"], Université Lumière, Lyon 2 (F), 29 October 2015 (organized by Michael Beißwenger & Thierry Chanier).

=== ''"CoMeRe schema"'' (2014): TEI schema and ODD from the CoMeRe network ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed in the context of the French network [https://corpuscomere.wordpress.com/ CoMeRe (Communication médiée par les réseaux)] and used for annotation of [http://www.ortolang.fr/api/content/comere/latest/comere.html several corpora of French CMC] (SMS, tweets, chat, weblogs, multimodal CMC, ...).

'''Authors:''' Thierry Chanier, Céline Poudat, Benoit Sagot, Georges Antoniadis, Ciara R. Wigham, Linda Hriba, Julien Longhi, Djamé Seddah.

'''Main characteristics compared to the previous schema draft (DeRiK):'''
*Introduction of an element <prod> for the representation of non-verbal acts
*(re-)efinition of <post>, <prod> and as models which may be combined within one interaction (= installation of one main result of the [[SIG:CMC/1st SIG meeting in Rome, 3 October 2013|SIG meeting 2013 in Rome]]). => make the schema fit for multimodal CMC

= Mission statement =

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments. A TEI standard for the representation of those genres and their structural and linguistic peculiarities is a desideratum both in the fields of digital humanities and computer sciences. Such a standard would foster interoperability between language resources as well as the analysis and automatic exploitation of resources of that kind in several respect:
*It would allow scholars for building interoperable CMC corpora for different languages and thus enhance the empirical basis for doing '''CMC research across languages and cultures'''.
*It would allow scholars for building CMC resources which are interoperable with text and speech corpora that are already represented in TEI and thus pave the way for corpus-based '''research on language use across different types of corpora''' (= comparative analysis of the language use in CMC, in edited text and in spoken language).
*Through including models for the description of not only verbal but also of non-verbal acts, it would allow scholars to describe and analyse '''CMC accross different modalities'''.

The '''TEI special interest group (SIG) "computer-mediated communication"''' is developing and discussing suggestions for adapting the TEI guidelines for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication. The focus of the group's work is on (but not limited to) tasks such as:
*modeling user contributions (''posts'') to written CMC interactions (which share features both with written and spoken language) as well as the interplay of written posts, spoken utterances and non-verbal acts in multimodal CMC environments;
*modeling CMC document structures (''"CMC macrostructures"'' – e.g., forum threads, wiki talk pages, chat logfiles, Twitter timelines etc.);
*annotating linguistic features within user posts (''"CMC microstructures"'' – elements such as emoticons, addressing terms, hashtags; quotes from prior posts; etc.);
*representing linked data and media objects connected with/embedded in CMC discourse;
*metadata schemas for the description of CMC resources;
*developing perspectives for the representation of discourse in multimodal cmc environments in which the participants in one interaction space combine a variety of modalities from written, spoken and non-verbal modes.

= Mission statement =

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments. A TEI standard for the representation of those genres and their structural and linguistic peculiarities is a desideratum both in the fields of digital humanities and computer sciences. Such a standard would foster interoperability between language resources as well as the analysis and automatic exploitation of resources of that kind in several respect:
*It would allow scholars for building interoperable CMC corpora for different languages and thus enhance the empirical basis for doing '''CMC research across languages and cultures'''.
*It would allow scholars for building CMC resources which are interoperable with text and speech corpora that are already represented in TEI and thus pave the way for corpus-based '''research on language use across different types of corpora''' (= comparative analysis of the language use in CMC, in edited text and in spoken language).
*Through including models for the description of not only verbal but also of non-verbal acts, it would allow scholars to describe and analyse '''CMC accross different modalities'''.

The '''TEI special interest group (SIG) "computer-mediated communication"''' is developing and discussing suggestions for adapting the TEI guidelines for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication. The focus of the group's work is on (but not limited to) tasks such as:
*modeling user contributions (''posts'') to written CMC interactions (which share features both with written and spoken language) as well as the interplay of written posts, spoken utterances and non-verbal acts in multimodal CMC environments;
*modeling CMC document structures (''"CMC macrostructures"'' – e.g., forum threads, wiki talk pages, chat logfiles, Twitter timelines etc.);
*annotating linguistic features within user posts (''"CMC microstructures"'' – elements such as emoticons, addressing terms, hashtags; quotes from prior posts; etc.);
*representing linked data and media objects connected with/embedded in CMC discourse;
*metadata schemas for the description of CMC resources;
*developing perspectives for the representation of discourse in multimodal cmc environments in which the participants in one interaction space combine a variety of modalities from written, spoken and non-verbal modes.

= Documentation of schema drafts from the SIG =
There are several TEI schemas that have been developed and discussed in the context of the work of the SIG. When designing new drafts, the models specified in previous drafts as well as the discussions within the group have been taken into consideration. The drafts are listed below in reverse chronological order:

=== ''"CLARIN-D schema"'' (2015): TEI Schema and ODD from the CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN'' ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres (chats, tweets, whatsapp, wikipedia talk pages, ...) as part of the work of the German [http://de.clarin.eu/en/curation-project-1-3-german-philology CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN''].

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Eric Ehrhardt, Axel Herold, Harald Lüngen, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous schema drafts (CoMeRe, DeRiK):'''
*Reduction of new elements through re-modeling some CMC-specific concepts from the previous schemas with „standard“ TEI (guiding principle: "reduce to the max": introduction of new models and modification of existing models only for concepts which are needed ''in any case''; for everything else: definition of best practices for the use of existing models in TEI-P5)
*Definition of an interface to part-of-speech annotations (using <w> and <phr>)

'''ODD / documentation of the schema:''' see detail page: '''[[SIG:CMC/CLARIN-D schema draft for representing CMC in TEI (2015)]]'''

'''Presentation / discussion of the CLARIN-D schema:''' The schema will be discussed in two panels at the following conferences:

SIG:Computer-Mediated Communication

= Mission statement =

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments. A TEI standard for the representation of those genres and their structural and linguistic peculiarities is a desideratum both in the fields of digital humanities and computer sciences. Such a standard would foster interoperability between language resources as well as the analysis and automatic exploitation of resources of that kind in several respect:
*It would allow scholars for building interoperable CMC corpora for different languages and thus enhance the empirical basis for doing '''CMC research across languages and cultures'''.
*It would allow scholars for building CMC resources which are interoperable with text and speech corpora that are already represented in TEI and thus pave the way for corpus-based '''research on language use across different types of corpora''' (= comparative analysis of the language use in CMC, in edited text and in spoken language).
*Through including models for the description of not only verbal but also of non-verbal acts, it would allow scholars to describe and analyse '''CMC accross different modalities'''.

The '''TEI special interest group (SIG) "computer-mediated communication"''' is developing and discussing suggestions for adapting the TEI guidelines for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication. The focus of the group's work is on (but not limited to) tasks such as:
*modeling user contributions (''posts'') to written CMC interactions (which share features both with written and spoken language) as well as the interplay of written posts, spoken utterances and non-verbal acts in multimodal CMC environments;
*modeling CMC document structures (''"CMC macrostructures"'' – e.g., forum threads, wiki talk pages, chat logfiles, Twitter timelines etc.);
*annotating linguistic features within user posts (''"CMC microstructures"'' – elements such as emoticons, addressing terms, hashtags; quotes from prior posts; etc.);
*representing linked data and media objects connected with/embedded in CMC discourse;
*metadata schemas for the description of CMC resources;
*developing perspectives for the representation of discourse in multimodal cmc environments in which the participants in one interaction space combine a variety of modalities from written, spoken and non-verbal modes.

= Documentation of schema drafts from the SIG =
There are several TEI schemas that have been developed and discussed in the context of the work of the SIG. When designing new drafts, the models specified in previous drafts as well as the discussions within the group have been taken into consideration. The drafts are listed below in reverse chronological order:

=== ''"CLARIN-D schema"'' (2015): TEI Schema and ODD from the CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN'' ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres (chats, tweets, whatsapp, wikipedia talk pages, ...) as part of the work of the German [http://de.clarin.eu/en/curation-project-1-3-german-philology CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN''].

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Eric Ehrhardt, Axel Herold, Harald Lüngen, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous schema drafts (CoMeRe, DeRiK):'''
*Reduction of new elements through re-modeling some CMC-specific concepts from the previous schemas with „standard“ TEI (guiding principle: "reduce to the max": introduction of new models and modification of existing models only for concepts which are needed ''in any case''; for everything else: definition of best practices for the use of existing models in TEI-P5)
*Definition of an interface to part-of-speech annotations (using <w> and <phr>)

'''ODD / documentation of the schema:''' see detail page: '''[[SIG:CMC/CLARIN-D schema draft for representing CMC in TEI (2015)]]'''

'''Presentation / discussion of the CLARIN-D schema:''' The schema will be discussed in two panels at the following conferences:

SIG:Computer-Mediated Communication

2016-09-14T05:27:47Z

= Mission statement =

The internet and social media have given rise to a broad range of new communicative genres which are subsumed under the term '''computer-mediated communication (CMC)''' – genres such as chats, forums, text messaging (SMS, WhatsApp), interaction on wiki talk pages and in blog comments, via Twitter, on social network sites, and in multimodal 3D environments. A TEI standard for the representation of those genres and their structural and linguistic peculiarities is a desideratum both in the fields of digital humanities and computer sciences. Such a standard would foster interoperability between language resources as well as the analysis and automatic exploitation of resources of that kind in several respect:
*It would allow scholars for building interoperable CMC corpora for different languages and thus enhance the empirical basis for doing '''CMC research across languages and cultures'''.
*It would allow scholars for bulding CMC resources which are interoperable with text and speech corpora that are already represented in TEI and thus pave the way for corpus-based '''research on language use across different types of corpora''' (= comparative analysis of the language use in CMC, in edited text and in spoken language).
*Through including models for the description of not only verbal but also of non-verbal acts, it would allow scholars to describe and analyse '''CMC accross different modalities'''.

The '''TEI special interest group (SIG) "computer-mediated communication"''' is developing and discussing suggestions for adapting the TEI guidelines for the representation of genres of computer-mediated communication. The focus of the group's work is on (but not limited to) tasks such as:
*modeling user contributions (''posts'') to written CMC interactions (which share features both with written and spoken language) as well as the interplay of written posts, spoken utterances and non-verbal acts in multimodal CMC environments;
*modeling CMC document structures (''"CMC macrostructures"'' – e.g., forum threads, wiki talk pages, chat logfiles, Twitter timelines etc.);
*annotating linguistic features within user posts (''"CMC microstructures"'' – elements such as emoticons, addressing terms, hashtags; quotes from prior posts; etc.);
*representing linked data and media objects connected with/embedded in CMC discourse;
*metadata schemas for the description of CMC resources;
*developing perspectives for the representation of discourse in multimodal cmc environments in which the participants in one interaction space combine a variety of modalities from written, spoken and non-verbal modes.

= Documentation of schema drafts from the SIG =
There are several TEI schemas that have been developed and discussed in the context of the work of the SIG. When designing new drafts, the models specified in previous drafts as well as the discussions within the group have been taken into consideration. The drafts are listed below in reverse chronological order:

=== ''"CLARIN-D schema"'' (2015): TEI Schema and ODD from the CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN'' ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres (chats, tweets, whatsapp, wikipedia talk pages, ...) as part of the work of the German [http://de.clarin.eu/en/curation-project-1-3-german-philology CLARIN-D curation project ''ChatCorpus2CLARIN''].

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Eric Ehrhardt, Axel Herold, Harald Lüngen, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics compared to previous schema drafts (CoMeRe, DeRiK):'''
*Reduction of new elements through re-modeling some CMC-specific concepts from the previous schemas with „standard“ TEI (guiding principle: "reduce to the max": introduction of new models and modification of existing models only for concepts which are needed ''in any case''; for everything else: definition of best practices for the use of existing models in TEI-P5)
*Definition of an interface to part-of-speech annotations (using <w> and <phr>)

'''ODD / documentation of the schema:''' see detail page: '''[[SIG:CMC/CLARIN-D schema draft for representing CMC in TEI (2015)]]'''

'''Presentation / discussion of the CLARIN-D schema:''' The schema will be discussed in two panels at the following conferences:
* ''[http://wiki.tei-c.org/images/0/0b/TEIMM2015_panelproposal_submitted-3.pdf TEI across corpora, languages and genres: Towards a standard for the representation of social media and computer-mediated communication.]'' Panel at the Annual Conference and Members Meeting of the Text Encoding Initiative 2015: [http://tei2015.huma-num.fr/en/ "Connect, Animate, Innovate"], Université Lumière, Lyon 2 (F), 29 October 2015 (organized by Michael Beißwenger & Thierry Chanier).
*''[http://wiki.tei-c.org/images/5/54/Teicmc4rennes.pdf Towards an encoding standard for social media and CMC: Experiences from German and French corpus projects using TEI.]'' Panel at the [http://ird-cmc-rennes.sciencesconf.org/ International Research Days: Social Media and CMC Corpora for the eHumanities], Université Rennes 2, Rennes (F), 23-24 October 2015 (organized by Michael Beißwenger & Thierry Chanier).

=== ''"CoMeRe schema"'' (2014): TEI schema and ODD from the CoMeRe network ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed in the context of the French network [https://corpuscomere.wordpress.com/ CoMeRe (Communication médiée par les réseaux)] and used for annotation of [http://www.ortolang.fr/api/content/comere/latest/comere.html several corpora of French CMC] (SMS, tweets, chat, weblogs, multimodal CMC, ...).

'''Authors:''' Thierry Chanier, Céline Poudat, Benoit Sagot, Georges Antoniadis, Ciara R. Wigham, Linda Hriba, Julien Longhi, Djamé Seddah.

'''Main characteristics compared to the previous schema draft (DeRiK):'''
*Introduction of an element <prod> for the representation of non-verbal acts
*(re-)efinition of <post>, <prod> and as models which may be combined within one interaction (= installation of one main result of the [[SIG:CMC/1st SIG meeting in Rome, 3 October 2013|SIG meeting 2013 in Rome]]). => make the schema fit for multimodal CMC
*includes a metadata schema for CMC

=== ''"DeRiK schema"'' (2012): TEI schema and ODD for CMC from the DeRiK project ===

'''Project context:''' The schema has been developed and tested with data from several CMC genres as part of the preliminary work for the project [http://llc.oxfordjournals.org/content/28/4/531.full?keytype=ref&ijkey=GXFixqNNy0uW7cO "Building a reference corpzus of German CMC" (DeRiK)]. It is also part of the results of the DFG scientific network ''[http://www.empirikom.net Empirikom]''. After publication in the jTEI (Beißwenger et al. 2012) the schema has further been tested with the Wikipedia talk pages corpus in DeReKo (Margaretha & Lüngen 2014).

'''Authors:''' Michael Beißwenger, Maria Ermakova, Alexander Geyken, Lothar Lemnitzer, Angelika Storrer.

'''Main characteristics:'''
*Introduction of an element model <post> for written user contributions to CMC interactions which combines features of text divisions and spoken utterances.
*Adaptation of the existing element model <div> for the representation of CMC threads and logfiles.
*Models for CMC-specific phenomena below the <post> level.
