Pstadler: added Docker image as recommendation to /* System requirements */

[[Category:Tools]]

[[Category:Conversion and preprocessing tools]]

== Synopsis ==
[http://www.tei-c.org/oxgarage/ OxGarage] is a web, and RESTful, service to manage the transformation of documents between a variety of formats. The majority of transformations use the Text Encoding Initiative format as a pivot format. It is a good tool for conversion from TEI to Word (.docx), or Word (.docx) to TEI, but also does many other formats.

There is a [http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/TEIC/oxgarage/blob/master/doc/matrix.html list of formats for conversion to and from] which OxGarage supports.
Some of these use [[Tei-xsl|XSLT-based transformations]] and others are provided by [http://www.artofsolving.com/opensource/jodconverter JODConverter].

== Features ==

OxGarage can be used to
* Convert TEI documents to HTML, LaTeX, Word, OpenOffice, and ePub
* Process TEI ODD documents to make schemas or documentation
* Convert Word documents to TEI
* Transform some common XML formats (NLM, P4, Docbook) to or from TEI
* Manage any of the document conversions supported by OpenOffice

A user uploads a document, chooses the target format, OxGarage works out the pipeline of required transformation steps, performs them, and returns the resulting new document. For example, an ODD document can be turned into ePub by

# expanding the ODD file by merging with the TEI P5 source
# converting the resulting XML to TEI Lite for formatting
# transforming TEI Lite XML to HTML and packaging as ePub

OxGarage takes care of all three stages, the user does not need to know about the middle stage. All transformations using TEI are
performed with XSLT 2.0 stylesheets, some other transformations use JODConverter and a headless OpenOffice instance.

The results for some transformations can be tweaked by choosing different output profiles. These are defined on the OxGarage server.

== User commentary ==
'''Please sign all comments.'''

== System requirements ==
A standard modern web browser is all that is required to make use of the Web Client. If you want to deploy the underlying system yourself the most convenient way is via [https://www.docker.com Docker] which is available for most platforms. A ready made Docker image is available at https://hub.docker.com/r/teic/oxgarage/.

Otherwise, you'll need to install the required dependencies (Java, Tomcat, OpenOffice, etc.) yourself. To build it you also need Maven and various java libraries. For more information see https://github.com/TEIC/oxgarage.

== Source code and licensing ==
OxGarage source code is hosted on Github, at https://github.com/TEIC/oxgarage;
is is a fork and extension of the EGE project (on Sourceforge: http://enrich-ege.sourceforge.net/)
and is licensed under the GPL.

== Support for TEI ==
The basic stylesheets provided with OxGarage (and ENRICH-EGE) use TEI as an output and pivot format.

Pstadler: all information updated, removed header note

== Synopsis ==

'''Roma''' is the web based TEI software for generating customisations from [http://www.tei-c.org/P5/ P5] [[ODD]] specifications. It was written by Arno Mittelbach and is loosely maintained by the TEI Council.

Roma's basic job is to construct an XML document, the TEI "ODD". To generate output (RELAXNG schemas, W3C schemas, HTML documentation, etc.), Roma relies on the [[OxGarage]] web service to provide the necessary transformations.

Historically, there has been a Roma CLI tool, but this is superseded by the appropriate ANT or Shell scripts provided by the [[Tei-xsl|TEI Stylesheets]] themselves.

== System requirements ==
A standard modern web browser is all that is required to make use of the Roma Web Client. If you want to deploy the underlying system yourself the most convenient way is via [https://www.docker.com Docker] which is available for most platforms.

For the web version, see [http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/Customization/use_roma.xml Customizing the TEI with Roma].

[http://lists.village.virginia.edu/pipermail/tei-council/2013/018680.html]].

As Sebastian wrote on TEI-L on 2009-12-21, "Always remember when considering Roma and friends that the variation is in the XSL stylesheets which it uses. So 99% of error reports and bug fixes are to do with the behaviour of odd2odd.xsl and odd2relax.xsl (etc). The XSL package changes much more frequently than Roma."

The PHP application which provides basic graphical editing of ODD files is not quite old and not regularly maintained,
but it remains the only graphical ODD editor available (at the time of writing, 2015-07), so it is still widely used.

Any Council member working on maintenance of the Roma php application will first need to get it running. These are some
basic notes by Martin Holmes on experiences getting it working on Ubuntu 14.04 for the purposes of working on a minor
bug in July 2015.

# Make sure you have all the regular TEI packages installed, as well as trang.
# Get Apache installed and running with PHP5, including the <code>php5-xsl</code> and <code>php5-curl</code> modules (which are not installed by default).
# Get the Roma source from the latest build on e.g. [http://teijenkins.hcmc.uvic.ca/job/Roma/] (what you need is tei-roma-x.xx.zip). Unzip the contents into a directory in the web server root.
# Copy roma/config-dist.php to roma/config.php, and make any changes you need to. I added these lines to help me with debugging at the top:

ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ERROR);

Note that adding more aggressive debugging options such as E_NOTICE will actually screw up the schemas you generate, because you'll get lots of PHP error messages at the top of your schemas; the source

== Additional notes ==
Also see [[OxGarage]] and [[Vesta]].

[[oXygen]] 13.1 onwards has all the Roma functionality built it. Load up your ODD, tell it to generate a schema.

=== GitHub releases ===

https://github.com/TEIC/Roma/releases

=== old releases on SourceForge ===

https://sourceforge.net/projects/tei/files/Roma/

== How to download or buy ==

There are three options.

=== a) Download the zip file ===

[https://sourceforge.net/projects/tei/files/Roma/ Sourceforge download] – a shell utility (requires [http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/xsltproc2.html xsltproc], [http://thaiopensource.com/relaxng/trang.html trang] and [[wikipedia:perl|perl]])

=== b) Install the Debian package ===

Install the <code>tei-roma</code> Debian package from [http://tei.oucs.ox.ac.uk/teideb/ the list of Debian packages].

=== c) Get from Subversion ===

'''For many of those commands, you might need to run them as sudo.'''

# Download the source from Subversion: <code>svn co https://tei.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tei/trunk/ /path/to/local/directory/</code>
# Install P5 (required in order to install Roma):
## Put roma2.sh into the right place (since P5 installation requires it): <code>cp roma2.sh /usr/bin/roma2</code>
## Install texlive-full (includes xelatex, which is required to install P5)
## <code>cd /path/to/local/directory/P5/</code>
## <code>make install</code>
# Install Roma:
## <code>cd ../Roma/</code>
## <code>make install</code>

== Getting the Roma server running ==

The PHP application which provides basic graphical editing of ODD files is not quite old and not regularly maintained,
but it remains the only graphical ODD editor available (at the time of writing, 2015-07), so it is still widely used.

Any Council member working on maintenance of the Roma php application will first need to get it running. These are some
basic notes by Martin Holmes on experiences getting it working on Ubuntu 14.04 for the purposes of working on a minor
bug in July 2015.

# Make sure you have all the regular TEI packages installed, as well as trang.
# Get Apache installed and running with PHP5, including the <code>php5-xsl</code> and <code>php5-curl</code> modules (which are not installed by default).
# Get the Roma source from the latest build on e.g. [http://teijenkins.hcmc.uvic.ca/job/Roma/] (what you need is tei-roma-x.xx.zip). Unzip the contents into a directory in the web server root.
# Copy roma/config-dist.php to roma/config.php, and make any changes you need to. I added these lines to help me with debugging at the top:

ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ERROR);

Note that adding more aggressive debugging options such as E_NOTICE will actually screw up the schemas you generate, because you'll get lots of PHP error messages at the top of your schemas; the source

== Additional notes ==
Also see [[OxGarage]] and [[Vesta]].

[[oXygen]] 13.1 onwards has all the Roma functionality built it. Load up your ODD, tell it to generate a schema.

'''This page needs to be updated to reflect the move from SourceForge to GitHub.'''

== Synopsis ==

'''Roma''' is the TEI tool (a suite of XSLT stylesheets) for creating schemas and customisations from [http://www.tei-c.org/P5/ P5] [[ODD]] specifications. It was written by Arno Mittelbach and is loosely maintained by the TEI Council.

== User commentary ==
'''Please sign all comments.'''

== System requirements ==
A standard modern web browser is all that is required to make use of the Roma Web Client. If you want to deploy the underlying system yourself the most convenient way is via [https://www.docker.com Docker] which is available for most platforms.

== Source code and licensing ==

Pstadler: updated /* Sample implementations */

'''This page needs to be updated to reflect the move from SourceForge to GitHub.'''

== Synopsis ==

'''Roma''' is the TEI tool (a suite of XSLT stylesheets) for creating schemas and customisations from [http://www.tei-c.org/P5/ P5] [[ODD]] specifications. It was written by Arno Mittelbach and is loosely maintained by the TEI Council.

For instructions on installing the command-line version under Mac OS X, see [http://www.wwp.northeastern.edu/outreach/seminars/_current/handouts/roma_CLI_MacOS_X.html Roma CLI Instructions] [note that the locations of stylesheet and roma have moved to github and the links given are out of date, cf.

For the web version, see [http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/Customization/use_roma.xml Customizing the TEI with Roma].

As Sebastian wrote on TEI-L on 2009-12-21, "Always remember when considering Roma and friends that the variation is in the XSL stylesheets which it uses. So 99% of error reports and bug fixes are to do with the behaviour of odd2odd.xsl and odd2relax.xsl (etc). The XSL package changes much more frequently than Roma."

== User community ==

== Sample implementations ==
* Production version: http://roma.tei-c.org/ (running on the main TEI server)
* Development version: https://roma2.tei-c.org (currently running at Paderborn University)

== Current version number and date of release ==
* 5.0.0 (2018-07-18)

== History of versions ==

=== GitHub releases ===

https://github.com/TEIC/Roma/releases

=== old releases on SourceForge ===

https://sourceforge.net/projects/tei/files/Roma/

== How to download or buy ==

There are three options.

=== a) Download the zip file ===

[https://sourceforge.net/projects/tei/files/Roma/ Sourceforge download] – a shell utility (requires [http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/xsltproc2.html xsltproc], [http://thaiopensource.com/relaxng/trang.html trang] and [[wikipedia:perl|perl]])

=== b) Install the Debian package ===

Install the <code>tei-roma</code> Debian package from [http://tei.oucs.ox.ac.uk/teideb/ the list of Debian packages].

=== c) Get from Subversion ===

'''For many of those commands, you might need to run them as sudo.'''

# Download the source from Subversion: <code>svn co https://tei.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tei/trunk/ /path/to/local/directory/</code>
# Install P5 (required in order to install Roma):
## Put roma2.sh into the right place (since P5 installation requires it): <code>cp roma2.sh /usr/bin/roma2</code>
## Install texlive-full (includes xelatex, which is required to install P5)
## <code>cd /path/to/local/directory/P5/</code>
## <code>make install</code>
# Install Roma:
## <code>cd ../Roma/</code>
## <code>make install</code>

== Getting the Roma server running ==

The PHP application which provides basic graphical editing of ODD files is not quite old and not regularly maintained,
but it remains the only graphical ODD editor available (at the time of writing, 2015-07), so it is still widely used.

Any Council member working on maintenance of the Roma php application will first need to get it running. These are some
basic notes by Martin Holmes on experiences getting it working on Ubuntu 14.04 for the purposes of working on a minor
bug in July 2015.

# Make sure you have all the regular TEI packages installed, as well as trang.
# Get Apache installed and running with PHP5, including the <code>php5-xsl</code> and <code>php5-curl</code> modules (which are not installed by default).
# Get the Roma source from the latest build on e.g. [http://teijenkins.hcmc.uvic.ca/job/Roma/] (what you need is tei-roma-x.xx.zip). Unzip the contents into a directory in the web server root.
# Copy roma/config-dist.php to roma/config.php, and make any changes you need to. I added these lines to help me with debugging at the top:

ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ERROR);

Note that adding more aggressive debugging options such as E_NOTICE will actually screw up the schemas you generate, because you'll get lots of PHP error messages at the top of your schemas; the source

Instructions for installation, assuming that you're installing the packages to generate TEI from subversion
* Have a modern running Ubuntu / Debian system. I used Ubuntu 15.4
* Do the following to add the GPG key to your system:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver wwwkeys.uk.pgp.net --recv-keys FEA4973F86A9A497

* Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://tei.oucs.ox.ac.uk/teideb/binary ./

* Refresh the package lists

apt-get update

* Install the packages (it's possible that not quite all of these packages are strictly needed). If the system suggests you install any package with suffix -doc, it's usually a good idea to install it, since these are the documentation package matching the packages you're installing. The install is broken up into packages from the general ubuntu repository and packages from the TEI repository.

apt-get install psgml xmlstarlet debiandoc-sgml linuxdoc-sgml jing jing-trang-doc libjing-java rnv texlive-xetex
apt-get install trang-java tei-p5-doc tei-emacs saxon nxml-mode-tei tei-p5-xsl tei-p5-xsl2 tei-roma onvdl

* Purge the gcj java components from your system to prevent obscure bugs and incompatabilities:

apt-get remove `apt-cache search gcj | grep gcj | awk '{print $1}'`

* If you use tei-oxygen, you will need a [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html Java SE Runtime Environment from Oracle(formerly Sun)].

== Tech support ==
Contact Sebastian Rahtz with questions.

== User community ==

== Sample implementations ==

== Current version number and date of release ==
2009-12-13: tei-emacs no longer depends on tdtd.

== History of versions ==
* 2007-11-05: updated to work with <oXygen/> v. 9.0
* 2007-05-26: update

== How to download or buy ==
http://tei.oucs.ox.ac.uk/teideb/

== Additional notes ==
* At http://tei.oucs.ox.ac.uk/teideb/ you can also download a customized Ubuntu Live CD with these packages.
* [[Setting up a Jenkins server]] explains how you can set up a continuous integration server using Ubuntu. A Jenkins server watches the TEI source code and compiles new versions of all the TEI products, including the TEI Debian packages, whenever a change is made to the source.

P6-dev

Pstadler: added link to p6 label at GitHub

This page is a place to record ideas which people feel are not appropriate for addition to the TEI P5 Guidelines (perhaps because they break backwards compatibility so extremely) but which they think should be recorded for reconsideration during development of the next major revision of P6. Things here should probably have had a FR submitted on sourceforge first and been turned down for P5. One when we should be thinking about P6 see the final paragraph of the Birnbaum Doctrine: http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Council/Working/tcw09.xml

With the new (as of Nov. 2015) GitHub issue tracker, TEI Council collects P6 issues with the label [https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/labels/postponed%20for%20P6"postponed for p6"]

* Module fragmentation, e.g. http://purl.org/tei/fr/3490054 asked for splitting off all dateTime related elements into a small module of its own. Ann Arbor 2012 face to face meeting decided this kind of fragmentation should be postponed until P6.
** Would it be an idea to group all elements that describe ''entities'', if a new element ''object'' would be established? By doing this, the dateTime related elements were splitted "naturally".

* Consider placing a restriction on the simultaneous use of @url and @facs on <graphic> (see Council list discussion 2012-06-20).

NOTE: Some of the work on lists has already been done in release 2.7.0.
* Completely redo handling of lists by:
** dropping @type
** introducing @ordered in case the creator of a TEI document wants to record the semantic order of items in the list (but does anyone want to do this? on other elements as well?)
** using only @rend or @style (pending http://purl.org/TEI/FR/3519866 ) to record bulleted, arabic numbers, roman numerals, etc.
** redefining handling of "gloss lists"

* Consider a proper object-oriented inheritance structure, whereby (for instance) there could be a generic "entity" object, with a core structure, and "person", "place" and "org" objects could inherit this structure from it. Inheritance would allow overriding of various components of the structure, and specialization of them; for instance, the generic entity might have a start date and an end date, and for the descendant person would refine these into birth and death. We'd have to consider whether multiple inheritance would be practical (for instance, how would you merge the content models of two ancestors)?

* [[Ad-hoc_committee_on_encoding_of_bibliographic_citations#Proposed_future_revisions_to_the_Guidelines_.28which_will_break_backwards_compatibility.29|Things related to encoding of bibliographic citations]]

* An object inheritance model

* A firm distinction between elements used in the header and those used in the text. For example:
** There would be one element, with specific attributes and a specific content model, for the title in the metadata and another for any title transcribed in the document)
** att.global might be separated into a class for attributes on header elements and those on text elements.

* A clear distinction between elements used when transcribing a source document (like bibl) and elements used in creating born-digital documents (like biblStruct and biblFull). Need to figure out how msDesc fits into this.

* Expansion of [[ODD#Future_plans:_.22Pure_ODD.22|Pure ODD]] to enable us to define the content model of elements based on context; this would be convertible into models based on complexTypes in XSD, and into Schematron in RelaxNG. This would require that we drop support for DTDs (which most agree would be a good idea anyway).

* Go through a list of recent standards and standards updates and recommend how to use TEI in combination with them. Sample recommendations might be (I'm not asserting the truth of any of these):
** ''If encoders use NISO Z39.84-2005, the DOI may be expected to appear in the ''idno'' element.''
** ''None of the bibliographic elements exactly match any of the bibliographic elements in ANSI/NISO Z39.96-2012''
** ''If reporting on use digital objects using NISO SUSHI, each object with a TEI header should be reported on''
** ''If linking to resources that are available over both http:// and https:// protocols, it is recommended to use the 'procotol-indepedent' uris starting with // ''
** ...

* Task Force Paper "Towards a Correspondence Module in the TEI", held at the TEI conference in Evanston: [http://tei.northwestern.edu/files/2014/10/Seifert-Illetschko-Stadler-2f2zhn3.pdf Abstract], [https://prezi.com/e70bkx9iqiib/towards-a-correspondence-module-in-the-tei/ Prezi], [https://docs.google.com/document/d/16DTp789wkrhPXH_79zexSy8wHWZId7W-RZkO4e1BAGM/edit?usp=sharing Talk] --[[User:Pstadler|pstadler]] 14:52, 7 November 2014 (CET)
* SIG MEETING at TEI conference in Evanston, Oct 22, Wednesday --[[User:Pstadler|pstadler]] 14:52, 7 November 2014 (CET)
* New page for the [[SIG:Correspondence/task-force-correspDesc|correspDesc task force]] --[[User:Pstadler|pstadler]] 10:22, 11 November 2013 (EST)

== Introduction ==
The TEI Special Interest Group on Correspondence seeks to bring together scholars interested in creating digital scholarly editions of correspondence. The goal of the SIG will be to discuss and develop sample tagsets (including suggesting additions/modifications to the TEI Guidelines) for varying forms of correspondence as well as to create tutorials and best practice models.

Because the initiative for this SIG emerged from editorial work with 19th century letters, the organizers of this SIG have focused on these types of materials. However, we want this SIG to be more encompassing, embracing varying types of historical and literary correspondence including epistles, telegrams, postcards, etc., and perhaps other types of documents that share features with physical written correspondence like diaries, diary entries, letters to the editor, e-mail, blogs, etc.

The common feature of these sorts of text is a generally formalized physical appearance (e.g., an envelope for letters) and structure of content (i.e. address field, special formulas for opener and closer). [http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Projects/da03.xml DALF] was one of the best documented projects in this area developing specific DTDs for those needs in P4: this may be a starting point for further work in P5.

Initial topics for the SIG Correspondence may include:
* the handling of the envelope and postal addresses
* the formal description of correspondence as a written dialogue between an author and an addressee
* correspondence-specific bibliographical data within the metadata section

== Activities ==

The SIG runs a mailing list, which you can join by visiting http://listserv.brown.edu/tei-corresp-sig.html .

=== Topics currently under discussion ===
* The content of a special '''correspDesc''' element (see [[SIG:Correspondence/ODD_work]])
* Discussion of different P5-customizations for correspondence (see [[SIG:Correspondence/EncodingComparisons]])
--> For this, see the work of the [[SIG:Correspondence/task-force-correspDesc|correspDesc task force]] for current developments.
* The content model of '''postscript''': look at the [[Collection of Postscript-Examples]] and the contributions to the [[ps-discussion]].
* How to deal with '''enclosures''' or '''attachements''' to a letter
* The content model of opener/closer and their connection with salute, signed, dateline, etc.
* diary entries
* definition of <signed> does not correspond with its actual use in the P5 guidelines
* address now in <p> but not in <div>: maybe not a good idea
* notification of addresses (different in different parts of the world). Could this be handled more adequately than just with datelines?
* [[SIG:Correspondence/pre-printed_text|pre-printed text]] (e.g. letterhead, postcard captions)

* Middle-term goal: ask people to make some or their examples available and find out in which way they used TEI for correspondence
* Middle-term goal: develop best practice models
* Long-term goal: develop a compressed proposal for handling correspondence within TEI

==== Zadar, Nov 13, 2010 ====

Participation: around 5 people

1. Peter gave a report on last year's activities
* Task force ‘Dalfy’ was established after the Ann Arbor Meeting: Markus Flatscher, Bert Van Raemdonck, Peter Stadler
* Goal: Mapping of DALF (P4) to TEI P5 as a basis for further work on a correspondence customization
* But: Momentum got lost …
* Further: Some discussion on TEI-L about "signed vs. salute"

2. A brief look on open questions
* Correspondence meta data: correspDesc?
* The content model of postscript (cf. the Collection of Postscript-Examples and the contributions to the ps-discussion.)
* The content model of opener/closer and their connection with salute, signed, dateline, byline etc.

3. Attempt to create a roadmap for 2011
* Peter suggested a second attempt for a grant to achieve the mapping of DALF to P5
* Discussion about possible fundings for such an attempt
* review of the last failed TEI grant proposal: it was criticized by the present panel members that no preliminary work was (visibly) carried out
* Susan suggested to first initiate a survey on the correspondence list

4. AOB
* nothing

==== Ann Arbor, Nov 14, 2009 ====

Business and working meeting during the annual members meeting.
'''Participants''': Syd Bauman (SB), Markus Flatscher (MF), Elena Pierazzo (EP), Malte Rehbein (MR), Paul Schaffner (PSc), Peter Stadler (PSt), Bert Van Raemdonck (BV)

The business meeting was attended by MF, PSc, PSt and BV and - since the number of participants allowed it - was an informal talk about the different projects, the last meeting at London and the "correspDesc" PS had proposed there as well as the question whether editing correspondence from printed (secondary) material needs to treated differently than correspondence from manuscript source material. Work on the roadmap was postponed to the working meeting.

The working meeting was attended by all above mentioned participants who agreed on the need for a customization of some of the P5 elements (and element classes) for encoding correspondence. Question is of course: how?
* P5 has introduced some elements that were inspired by what had been done earlier in DALF (P4), but not all P4 customizations in DALF are actually rendered in P5 (and vice versa). Hence, a comparison of both should be a good starting point to eventually come to a new ODD for encoding correspondence, and maybe even for introducing an actual module for future TEI Guidelines.
* MF, PSt and BV agree on doing such a mapping together. Since BV is like the only DALF original left, he will coordinate this: he will split the work up, and will be contacting MF and PSt for further arrangements. [UPDATE: Edward Vanhoutte and Ron Van den Branden agreed to work on this with BV face to face and then get back to MF and PSt afterwards. --[[User:Pstadler|pstadler]] 07:04, 27 November 2009 (EST)]
* Before X-mas, there should be a conference call to catch up on how the mapping proceeds. PSt will contact Dan O'Donnell for funding.
* Bugs and absurdities in P5 regarding correspondence should be posted on Sourceforge. Elena Pierazzo will be the liaison between the SIG and the TEI Council. She will help SIG members to report our findings through Sourceforge or otherwise.
* The mapping should result in a new ODD. SB is willing to help us create it. The new ODD should somehow be more or less DALF-like. Hence, the working title of the ODD is 'Dalfy'. Dalfy will be an oddified version of DALF where obviously identical concepts will already be mapped to their P5 equivalents (therefore Dalfy != DALF).
* After the mapping is done, useful elements (or concepts, structures) that are neither in DALF or in P5 yet, should be listed. Members of the SIG are welcome to suggest their own 'favourite missing elements'.
* With Dalfy as starting point we can than try to rearrange and modify it to come to a new Correspondence ODD (no code name yet!) that should resolve all problems and satisfy all needs...
* Issues that came up during the meetings concern <address> (and multiple addresses within one letter) (SB and EP), <signed> (everyone), endorsements as well as correspondence by committee (PSc)
* Besides the work on Dalfy PSt shall finish his work on oddifying his <correspDesc>.
'''Roadmap/Milestones''':
* Before Christmas: Teleconference about the mapping (MF, PSt, BV)
* Febr. 10, 2010: Mapping done
* July, 2010: Next SIG meeting at Digital Humanities conference (London) on new ODD

[Minutes PSt and BV]

==== London, Nov 8, 2008 ====

The first section (14-15:30) saw short presentations of current projects by:
* Tim McLoughlin: James Barry's letters
* Hilde Bøe: eMunch project (assisted by Ellen Nessheim Wiger with the Henrik Ibsen correspondence)
* Peter Boot: correspondence of Vincent van Gogh
* David Sewell: correspondence projects published via ROTUNDA
* Deborah K. Wright: correspondence of Matthew Prior
* Peter Stadler: correspondence of Carl Maria von Weber

The second section (16-16:45) had to be shortened due to organisational necessities but saw general discussion about
* the content model of postscript which is rather restricted and does not allow for an i.e. '''head''' element. Everyone was encouraged to send examples via the list. [Let me add that the same holds true for '''address''' --[[User:Pstadler|pstadler]]]
* the need and the possible content for an '''correspDesc''' element within '''sourceDesc'''. I will try to create an odd file with the necessary additions to the schema as a starting point for further expertise. --[[User:Pstadler|pstadler]].
* correspondence as an event. Lou pointed this out as similar topics were discussed in the ontologies SIG.

===== Minutes / Results / Goals =====

For more detailed minutes see [[SIGcorresp Minutes 20111015|Minutes Wuerzburg]], the main results of the discussions and the goals for the near future are summed up here:

* Preliminary goal: initiate a comparison between several customized or non-customized TEI versions for correspondence (to be published on the WiKi)
* Middle-term goal: propose "official" customization(s) for correspondence
* Middle-term goal: ask people to make some or their examples available and find out in which way they used TEI for correspondence
* Middle-term goal: develop best practice models
* Long-term goal: develop a compressed proposal for handling correspondence within TEI

==== Zadar, Nov 13, 2010 ====

Participation: around 5 people

1. Peter gave a report on last year's activities
* Task force ‘Dalfy’ was established after the Ann Arbor Meeting: Markus Flatscher, Bert Van Raemdonck, Peter Stadler
* Goal: Mapping of DALF (P4) to TEI P5 as a basis for further work on a correspondence customization
* But: Momentum got lost …
* Further: Some discussion on TEI-L about "signed vs. salute"

2. A brief look on open questions
* Correspondence meta data: correspDesc?
* The content model of postscript (cf. the Collection of Postscript-Examples and the contributions to the ps-discussion.)
* The content model of opener/closer and their connection with salute, signed, dateline, byline etc.

3. Attempt to create a roadmap for 2011
* Peter suggested a second attempt for a grant to achieve the mapping of DALF to P5
* Discussion about possible fundings for such an attempt
* review of the last failed TEI grant proposal: it was criticized by the present panel members that no preliminary work was (visibly) carried out
* Susan suggested to first initiate a survey on the correspondence list

4. AOB
* nothing

==== Ann Arbor, Nov 14, 2009 ====

Business and working meeting during the annual members meeting.
'''Participants''': Syd Bauman (SB), Markus Flatscher (MF), Elena Pierazzo (EP), Malte Rehbein (MR), Paul Schaffner (PSc), Peter Stadler (PSt), Bert Van Raemdonck (BV)

The business meeting was attended by MF, PSc, PSt and BV and - since the number of participants allowed it - was an informal talk about the different projects, the last meeting at London and the "correspDesc" PS had proposed there as well as the question whether editing correspondence from printed (secondary) material needs to treated differently than correspondence from manuscript source material. Work on the roadmap was postponed to the working meeting.

The working meeting was attended by all above mentioned participants who agreed on the need for a customization of some of the P5 elements (and element classes) for encoding correspondence. Question is of course: how?
* P5 has introduced some elements that were inspired by what had been done earlier in DALF (P4), but not all P4 customizations in DALF are actually rendered in P5 (and vice versa). Hence, a comparison of both should be a good starting point to eventually come to a new ODD for encoding correspondence, and maybe even for introducing an actual module for future TEI Guidelines.
* MF, PSt and BV agree on doing such a mapping together. Since BV is like the only DALF original left, he will coordinate this: he will split the work up, and will be contacting MF and PSt for further arrangements. [UPDATE: Edward Vanhoutte and Ron Van den Branden agreed to work on this with BV face to face and then get back to MF and PSt afterwards. --[[User:Pstadler|pstadler]] 07:04, 27 November 2009 (EST)]
* Before X-mas, there should be a conference call to catch up on how the mapping proceeds. PSt will contact Dan O'Donnell for funding.
* Bugs and absurdities in P5 regarding correspondence should be posted on Sourceforge. Elena Pierazzo will be the liaison between the SIG and the TEI Council. She will help SIG members to report our findings through Sourceforge or otherwise.
* The mapping should result in a new ODD. SB is willing to help us create it. The new ODD should somehow be more or less DALF-like. Hence, the working title of the ODD is 'Dalfy'. Dalfy will be an oddified version of DALF where obviously identical concepts will already be mapped to their P5 equivalents (therefore Dalfy != DALF).
* After the mapping is done, useful elements (or concepts, structures) that are neither in DALF or in P5 yet, should be listed. Members of the SIG are welcome to suggest their own 'favourite missing elements'.
* With Dalfy as starting point we can than try to rearrange and modify it to come to a new Correspondence ODD (no code name yet!) that should resolve all problems and satisfy all needs...
* Issues that came up during the meetings concern <address> (and multiple addresses within one letter) (SB and EP), <signed> (everyone), endorsements as well as correspondence by committee (PSc)
* Besides the work on Dalfy PSt shall finish his work on oddifying his <correspDesc>.
'''Roadmap/Milestones''':
* Before Christmas: Teleconference about the mapping (MF, PSt, BV)
* Febr. 10, 2010: Mapping done
* July, 2010: Next SIG meeting at Digital Humanities conference (London) on new ODD

[Minutes PSt and BV]

==== London, Nov 8, 2008 ====

The first section (14-15:30) saw short presentations of current projects by:
* Tim McLoughlin: James Barry's letters
* Hilde Bøe: eMunch project (assisted by Ellen Nessheim Wiger with the Henrik Ibsen correspondence)
* Peter Boot: correspondence of Vincent van Gogh
* David Sewell: correspondence projects published via ROTUNDA
* Deborah K. Wright: correspondence of Matthew Prior
* Peter Stadler: correspondence of Carl Maria von Weber

The second section (16-16:45) had to be shortened due to organisational necessities but saw general discussion about
* the content model of postscript which is rather restricted and does not allow for an i.e. '''head''' element. Everyone was encouraged to send examples via the list. [Let me add that the same holds true for '''address''' --[[User:Pstadler|pstadler]]]
* the need and the possible content for an '''correspDesc''' element within '''sourceDesc'''. I will try to create an odd file with the necessary additions to the schema as a starting point for further expertise. --[[User:Pstadler|pstadler]].
* correspondence as an event. Lou pointed this out as similar topics were discussed in the ontologies SIG.

== Introduction ==
The TEI Special Interest Group on Correspondence seeks to bring together scholars interested in creating digital scholarly editions of correspondence. The goal of the SIG will be to discuss and develop sample tagsets (including suggesting additions/modifications to the TEI Guidelines) for varying forms of correspondence as well as to create tutorials and best practice models.

Because the initiative for this SIG emerged from editorial work with 19th century letters, the organizers of this SIG have focused on these types of materials. However, we want this SIG to be more encompassing, embracing varying types of historical and literary correspondence including epistles, telegrams, postcards, etc., and perhaps other types of documents that share features with physical written correspondence like diaries, diary entries, letters to the editor, e-mail, blogs, etc.

The common feature of these sorts of text is a generally formalized physical appearance (e.g., an envelope for letters) and structure of content (i.e. address field, special formulas for opener and closer). [http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Projects/da03.xml DALF] was one of the best documented projects in this area developing specific DTDs for those needs in P4: this may be a starting point for further work in P5.

Initial topics for the SIG Correspondence may include:
* the handling of the envelope and postal addresses
* the formal description of correspondence as a written dialogue between an author and an addressee
* correspondence-specific bibliographical data within the metadata section

== Activities ==

The SIG runs a mailing list, which you can join by visiting http://listserv.brown.edu/tei-corresp-sig.html .

=== Topics currently under discussion ===
* The content of a special '''correspDesc''' element (see [[SIG:Correspondence/ODD_work]])
* Discussion of different P5-customizations for correspondence (see [[SIG:Correspondence/EncodingComparisons]])
--> For this, see the work of the [[SIG:Correspondence/task-force-correspDesc|correspDesc task force]] for current developments.
* The content model of '''postscript''': look at the [[Collection of Postscript-Examples]] and the contributions to the [[ps-discussion]].
* How to deal with '''enclosures''' or '''attachements''' to a letter
* The content model of opener/closer and their connection with salute, signed, dateline, etc.
* diary entries
* definition of <signed> does not correspond with its actual use in the P5 guidelines
* address now in <p> but not in <div>: maybe not a good idea
* notification of addresses (different in different parts of the world). Could this be handled more adequately than just with datelines?

SIG:Correspondence/task-force-correspDesc

2014-05-30T13:11:27Z

Pstadler: /* Conf Call May 28, 2014 */

<- back to [[SIG:Correspondence]]

= Task force "correspDesc" =

* '''Members''': Marcel Illetschko, Sabine Seifert, Peter Stadler
* "'''Pusher'''": Mariana Gomes

We will try to make our work as transparent and open as possible so others can chime in and contribute at every stage. Please feel free to make use of all the various comment/edit/share/fork functions or to contact us directly.

== Goal ==

Create a formal proposal for a <correspDesc> (or whatever name) element for approval by the TEI council as a new element of the TEI standard. This work shall be based on the "second draft for a correspondence module and a wrapper element for correspondence meta data" as it was started during the 2012 SIG meeting.

== Background ==

There have been several P4 projects with a dedicated correspondence schema (DALF probably being the renowned). While several correspondence tags (<postscript> etc.) are available from the TEI P5 standard, there is no specific way of dealing with correspondence meta data (e.g. sender, addressee) in the current TEI header. Since that's an impediment on the interoperability and interchange of these texts and since there are good practice models working with a <correspDesc>, the SIG Correspondence started to draft such a proposal during its 2012 meeting and now set up a task force for elaborating this draft.

== Repositories ==

https://github.com/TEI-Correspondence-SIG/correspDesc
This will be the main place for bringing together the proposal.

== Meetings ==

=== Conf Call May 28, 2014 ===

It's been our fastest conf call ever! We reported on last weeks activities (not much, but some additions to the [https://github.com/TEI-Correspondence-SIG/correspDesc GitHub repo]) and agreed on a f2f meeting on June 17/18 in Berlin. Next conf call is scheduled for June 12, 10 AM.

=== Conf Call May 20, 2014 ===

==== Reports on two conferences: ====
# Berlin: [https://www.literatur.hu-berlin.de/aktuelles_idl/konferenzen_tagungen_vortraege/ontologien/programm "Datenmodellierung in digitalen Briefeditionen und ihre interpretatorische Leistung. Ontologien, Textgenetik und Visualisierungsstrategien"]
Peter presented on "interoperability of letter collections" and touched on the work of the task force. A lot of people are planning (dreaming) of connecting letter collections.
# Vienna: [http://www.ogl.at/programm/aktuelles-programm/ Editorenkolloquium]
"The old world" – a strong bias against digital editions and only few letter projects presented at the conference. Nevertheless Marcel waved the correspDesc flag during his talk.

==== correspSearch ====
Stefan Dumont from the BBAW created a web service for querying correspDesc data. This web service will be presented as an open beta at the end of June. During his work on correspSearch he encountered several bugs and missing features in the CIF standard that need to be addressed now. (see next point)

==== proposed schema changes ====
* rename addressee to receiver? We decided not to change that right now but we will wait for the natives to chime in.
* CIF: @when-iso instead of @when: For the web service there is a strong need for standardized date formats. --> Yes, will implement
* CIF: clearly defined meta data with information about origin, person in charge, last change date etc. --> Yes, will implement
* CIF: shall @notBefore be required to have a counterpart @notAfter? --> No, rejected

==== Roadmap ====
* Next conf call on May 28, 10 AM
* f2f meeting on June 17/18 (date needs to be finalized)
* feature request due before next Council f2f, June 30
* correspSearch will go public at the end of June

=== Conf Call March 28, 2014 ===

To come …

=== Conf Call March 17, 2014 ===
Peter gave a short summary of the workshop “Digitising experiences of migration” (Mellon Centre for Migration Studies, Omagh, Northern Ireland, March 14-15) – and we discussed the difficulties with lacking authority-file-data for our Correspondence Interchange Format (CIF). Marcel (located at the Austrian National Library) will have a look at Europeana’s interchange format to find out whether it could be combined with the task force’s CIF; Peter will get in contact with the BBAW in order to create some sort of web service, which will facilitate for data interchange.
Roadmap: June 2014 TEI-Council in Oxford – proposal should be ready for feature request – October 2014: TEI-Meeting (SIG meeting and/or <correspDesc>-workshop)

=== Conf Call Feb. 18, 2014 ===
We discussed the <correspType> element, decided to change its name to <correspClass> (according to <textClass>). Then we dealt with the preparation of the presentation in Berlin, Feb. 26, 2014 (workshop: “Briefeditionen um 1800 – Schnittstellen finden und vernetzen”). To-dos: enhancing second draft ODD, enhancing text of proposal (theoretical considerations, preceeding work). Inform the communtiy via mailing list to get some feedback.

=== Presentation Feb. 02, 2014 ===

Short presentation of the element <correspDesc> (as developed so far) at workshop on editions of correspondence around 1800 at Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences in Berlin. The slides of the presentation (in German) are available [https://github.com/TEI-Correspondence-SIG/correspDesc/blob/master/2014%2002%2026%20presentation.pdf?raw=true here] and at [https://github.com/TEI-Correspondence-SIG/correspDesc GitHub].

Next conf call will be on March 17, 2014.

=== Conf Call Jan. 30, 2014 ===

Discussing new changes in schema (<correspDesc> now repeatable, <note> and @ref in <correspDesc> possible, probably new name for <ct:correspType> needed, etc.). Latest version of the proposal can be found on [https://github.com/TEI-Correspondence-SIG/correspDesc GitHub]. Proposal fits well for encoding e-mails. Looking at real example of encoding a letter with our schema, discussing detailed structure and flat structure (CIF).

=== Meeting Jan. 13-14, 2014 ===

Meeting of task force in Berlin. We pushed forward the work on an ODD file for the correspondence module with the new element <correspDesc> (and several child elements). The result can be found at GitHub: [https://github.com/TEI-Correspondence-SIG/correspDesc/blob/master/proposal.xml proposal.xml]. While the formal specification can already be considered alpha (i.e. you can build a schema and try it out), we are still behind enhancing the documentation with information on background, theoretical considerations, notes on implementation, etc.

Next conf call will be on Jan. 30 (09:30 CET), 2014.

=== Conf Call Jan. 8, 2014 ===

This conf call mainly dealt with the preparation of the face-to-face meeting in Berlin on Jan. 13-14.
To-do-list for this meeting: reading of Mariana's e-mail and files, and of literature mentioned during conf calls (editio, Emert, etc.).

General to-do-list: enhancing second draft ODD, enhancing text of proposal, have a look at Genetic Editions proposal.

We decided to put together a bibliography of literature on editing letters that will help writing our proposal.

All minutes from TEI conferences in TEI now online [http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/SIG/Correspondence/index.xml here].

=== Conf Call Dec. 18, 2013 ===

We closely dealt with the question, what information we want to encode within the new <correspDesc> element and what elements will be needed. Child elements of/information given within <correspDesc> will be: <sender>, <addressee>, <placeSender>, <placeAddressee>, <dateSender>, <dateAddressee>, Korrespondenzstelle, type of correspondence, bearer and method of message, information whether there is an envelope or not (description of envelope in <msDsc> and transcription in <body>).

What will not be encoded within <correspDesc> because it is not letter-specific: <incipit>, printed things like form fields or letterheads, <stamp> and postage stamps - all this information is encoded within <msDesc>.

There will be a short presentation of the work of the SIG Correspondence and especially the <correspDesc> task force at the meeting on technical interfaces in German digital editions of letters around 1800 at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences in Berlin on February 26th.

Next conf call will be on Jan. 8, 10AM.

=== Conf Call Nov. 26, 2013 ===

Second meeting of the task force. Main topic was bringing together correspondence specific metadata (that should be encoded within a new <correspDesc> - or otherwise called - element but not necessarily):
sender, addressee, place of sender, date of sending, place of addressee, date of receiving, type of correspondence (letter, postcard, etc.), incipit, envelope, context (previous/next letter), postmark, stamp, perhaps transmitter of the message and method of delivery.

We had a closer look at the DALF Preliminary P5 Proposal and the <dalf:letDesc> element as well as the <correspDesc> element used by [http://www.weber-gesamtausgabe.de Weber-Gesamtausgabe].
We dealt more closely with the problems of how and where to encode envelopes, the type of message, postmarks, etc. Seals are not specific for letters but for other manuscripts as well. Therefore, changing their encoding (in <sealDesc>) is not necessary.

Next steps: Peter starts reworking/extending the '[[SIG:Correspondence/ODD_work|second draft]]', Marcel turns the minutes of the SIG Correspondence meetings into TEI, and starts writing goal and background information, DALF and WEGA, development of this proposal, etc. Sabine starts putting together information on the letter specific metadata and their description, place, examples, etc. as well as building up a structure for our proposal.

Next conf call will be on Dec. 18, 10AM. At the face-to-face 'boot camp' on January 13-14 in Berlin, we will work on the customization ODD file.

=== Conf Call Nov. 6, 2013 ===

First meeting of the task force. We summed up the SIG meeting at Rome and made sure that we all shared (more or less) the same ideas about the goal of the task force. Had a look at the "[[SIG:Correspondence/ODD_work|second draft]]" from last year which we decided to take as a starting point for future work.

Furthermore we decided on GitHub as a central repository for carrying out the work on our proposal and envisioned a face2face meeting at the beginning of next year as sort of a "boot camp" (scheduled for Jan. 13/14 in Berlin).

Next conf call shall be on Nov. 26, 12PM were we will look more closely at DALF and try to narrow down the "correspondence specific meta data".

First meeting of the task force. We summed up the SIG meeting at Rome and made sure that we all shared (more or less) the same ideas about the goal of the task force. Had a look at the "[[SIG:Correspondence/ODD_work|second draft]]" from last year which we decided to take as a starting point for future work.

Furthermore we decided on GitHub as a central repository for carrying out the work on our proposal and envisioned a face2face meeting at the beginning of next year as sort of a "boot camp" (scheduled for Jan. 13/14 in Berlin).

Next conf call shall be on Nov. 26, 12PM were we will look more closely at DALF and try to narrow down the "correspondence specific meta data".

== Introduction ==
The TEI Special Interest Group on Correspondence seeks to bring together scholars interested in creating digital scholarly editions of correspondence. The goal of the SIG will be to discuss and develop sample tagsets (including suggesting additions/modifications to the TEI Guidelines) for varying forms of correspondence as well as to create tutorials and best practice models.

Because the initiative for this SIG emerged from editorial work with 19th century letters, the organizers of this SIG have focused on these types of materials. However, we want this SIG to be more encompassing, embracing varying types of historical and literary correspondence including epistles, telegrams, postcards, etc., and perhaps other types of documents that share features with physical written correspondence like diaries, diary entries, letters to the editor, e-mail, blogs, etc.

The common feature of these sorts of text is a generally formalized physical appearance (e.g., an envelope for letters) and structure of content (i.e. address field, special formulas for opener and closer). [http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Projects/da03.xml DALF] was one of the best documented projects in this area developing specific DTDs for those needs in P4: this may be a starting point for further work in P5.

Initial topics for the SIG Correspondence may include:
* the handling of the envelope and postal addresses
* the formal description of correspondence as a written dialogue between an author and an addressee
* correspondence-specific bibliographical data within the metadata section

== Activities ==

The SIG runs a mailing list, which you can join by visiting http://listserv.brown.edu/tei-corresp-sig.html .

=== Topics currently under discussion ===
* The content of a special '''correspDesc''' element (see [[SIG:Correspondence/ODD_work]])
* Discussion of different P5-customizations for correspondence (see [[SIG:Correspondence/EncodingComparisons]])
* The content model of '''postscript''': look at the [[Collection of Postscript-Examples]] and the contributions to the [[ps-discussion]].
* How to deal with '''enclosures''' or '''attachements''' to a letter
* The content model of opener/closer and their connection with salute, signed, dateline, etc.
* diary entries
* definition of <signed> does not correspond with its actual use in the P5 guidelines
* address now in <p> but not in <div>: maybe not a good idea
* notification of addresses (different in different parts of the world). Could this be handled more adequately than just with datelines?

==== Ann Arbor, Nov 14, 2009 ====

Business and working meeting during the annual members meeting.
'''Participants''': Syd Bauman (SB), Markus Flatscher (MF), Elena Pierazzo (EP), Malte Rehbein (MR), Paul Schaffner (PSc), Peter Stadler (PSt), Bert Van Raemdonck (BV)

The business meeting was attended by MF, PSc, PSt and BV and - since the number of participants allowed it - was an informal talk about the different projects, the last meeting at London and the "correspDesc" PS had proposed there as well as the question whether editing correspondence from printed (secondary) material needs to treated differently than correspondence from manuscript source material. Work on the roadmap was postponed to the working meeting.

The working meeting was attended by all above mentioned participants who agreed on the need for a customization of some of the P5 elements (and element classes) for encoding correspondence. Question is of course: how?
* P5 has introduced some elements that were inspired by what had been done earlier in DALF (P4), but not all P4 customizations in DALF are actually rendered in P5 (and vice versa). Hence, a comparison of both should be a good starting point to eventually come to a new ODD for encoding correspondence, and maybe even for introducing an actual module for future TEI Guidelines.
* MF, PSt and BV agree on doing such a mapping together. Since BV is like the only DALF original left, he will coordinate this: he will split the work up, and will be contacting MF and PSt for further arrangements. [UPDATE: Edward Vanhoutte and Ron Van den Branden agreed to work on this with BV face to face and then get back to MF and PSt afterwards. --[[User:Pstadler|pstadler]] 07:04, 27 November 2009 (EST)]
* Before X-mas, there should be a conference call to catch up on how the mapping proceeds. PSt will contact Dan O'Donnell for funding.
* Bugs and absurdities in P5 regarding correspondence should be posted on Sourceforge. Elena Pierazzo will be the liaison between the SIG and the TEI Council. She will help SIG members to report our findings through Sourceforge or otherwise.
* The mapping should result in a new ODD. SB is willing to help us create it. The new ODD should somehow be more or less DALF-like. Hence, the working title of the ODD is 'Dalfy'. Dalfy will be an oddified version of DALF where obviously identical concepts will already be mapped to their P5 equivalents (therefore Dalfy != DALF).
* After the mapping is done, useful elements (or concepts, structures) that are neither in DALF or in P5 yet, should be listed. Members of the SIG are welcome to suggest their own 'favourite missing elements'.
* With Dalfy as starting point we can than try to rearrange and modify it to come to a new Correspondence ODD (no code name yet!) that should resolve all problems and satisfy all needs...
* Issues that came up during the meetings concern <address> (and multiple addresses within one letter) (SB and EP), <signed> (everyone), endorsements as well as correspondence by committee (PSc)
* Besides the work on Dalfy PSt shall finish his work on oddifying his <correspDesc>.
'''Roadmap/Milestones''':
* Before Christmas: Teleconference about the mapping (MF, PSt, BV)
* Febr. 10, 2010: Mapping done
* July, 2010: Next SIG meeting at Digital Humanities conference (London) on new ODD

[Minutes PSt and BV]

==== London, Nov 8, 2008 ====

The first section (14-15:30) saw short presentations of current projects by:
* Tim McLoughlin: James Barry's letters
* Hilde Bøe: eMunch project (assisted by Ellen Nessheim Wiger with the Henrik Ibsen correspondence)
* Peter Boot: correspondence of Vincent van Gogh
* David Sewell: correspondence projects published via ROTUNDA
* Deborah K. Wright: correspondence of Matthew Prior
* Peter Stadler: correspondence of Carl Maria von Weber

The second section (16-16:45) had to be shortened due to organisational necessities but saw general discussion about
* the content model of postscript which is rather restricted and does not allow for an i.e. '''head''' element. Everyone was encouraged to send examples via the list. [Let me add that the same holds true for '''address''' --[[User:Pstadler|pstadler]]]
* the need and the possible content for an '''correspDesc''' element within '''sourceDesc'''. I will try to create an odd file with the necessary additions to the schema as a starting point for further expertise. --[[User:Pstadler|pstadler]].
* correspondence as an event. Lou pointed this out as similar topics were discussed in the ontologies SIG.

'''Attendees''': Syd Bauman, Benjamin Bohl, Anthony Durity, Mariana Gomes, Marcel Illetschko, Roland Kamzelak, Angelika Kreh, Anne Lorenz, Paul O'Shea, Solveig Schreiter, Sabine Seifert, Janette Seuffert, Peter Stadler

=== Presentation of ongoing projects ===

Attendees very briefly introduced themselves and their ongoing and/or planned projects:

* Peter: [http://weber-gesamtausgabe.de Carl-Maria-von-Weber-Gesamtausgabe]
* Roland: [http://www.dla-marbach.de/dla/entwicklung/projekte/vernetzte_korrespondenzen_neli/index.html Vernetzte Korrespondenzen (Exilbriefnetz)]
* Sabine: [http://tei.ibi.hu-berlin.de/berliner-intellektuelle/ Briefe und Texte aus dem intellektuellen Berlin um 1800]
* Two PhD projects from UCC
* Mariana: [http://ps.clul.ul.pt Project P.S., Post Scriptum and CARDS, Unknown Letters]

=== Discussion of several correspondence tags ===

Roland started a vivid discussion of several elements (e.g. <salute>, <opener>, <postscript>) which -- from a structural point of view -- didn't fit into his encoding practices. Peter pointed at [[SIG:Correspondence#Topics_currently_under_discussion]] which is a long standing list of those elements. Problem is, that changing these elements would most likely mean to break with the desired backwards compatibility of the TEI Guidelines. Peter made an argument for starting with the easier parts, i.e. creating a new element within the TEI header for capturing correspondence specific metadata. It was agreed to set up a task force for creating such a proposal, given that this idea is around for several years now.

=== Creation of correspDesc task force ===

A task force "correspDesc" was set up, including Sabine, Marcel and Peter. Aim of the task force is to create a formal proposal for a <correspDesc> element for approval by the TEI council as a new element of the TEI standard. This work shall be based on the "[[SIG:Correspondence/ODD_work|second draft for a correspondence module and a wrapper element for correspondence meta data]]" as it was started during last year's meeting.

== Introduction ==
The TEI Special Interest Group on Correspondence seeks to bring together scholars interested in creating digital scholarly editions of correspondence. The goal of the SIG will be to discuss and develop sample tagsets (including suggesting additions/modifications to the TEI Guidelines) for varying forms of correspondence as well as to create tutorials and best practice models.

Because the initiative for this SIG emerged from editorial work with 19th century letters, the organizers of this SIG have focused on these types of materials. However, we want this SIG to be more encompassing, embracing varying types of historical and literary correspondence including epistles, telegrams, postcards, etc., and perhaps other types of documents that share features with physical written correspondence like diaries, diary entries, letters to the editor, e-mail, blogs, etc.

The common feature of these sorts of text is a generally formalized physical appearance (e.g., an envelope for letters) and structure of content (i.e. address field, special formulas for opener and closer). [http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Projects/da03.xml DALF] was one of the best documented projects in this area developing specific DTDs for those needs in P4: this may be a starting point for further work in P5.

Initial topics for the SIG Correspondence may include:
* the handling of the envelope and postal addresses
* the formal description of correspondence as a written dialogue between an author and an addressee
* correspondence-specific bibliographical data within the metadata section

== Activities ==

The SIG runs a mailing list, which you can join by visiting http://listserv.brown.edu/tei-corresp-sig.html .

=== Topics currently under discussion ===
* The content of a special '''correspDesc''' element (see [[SIG:Correspondence/ODD_work]])
* Discussion of different P5-customizations for correspondence (see [[SIG:Correspondence/EncodingComparisons]])
* The content model of '''postscript''': look at the [[Collection of Postscript-Examples]] and the contributions to the [[ps-discussion]].
* How to deal with '''enclosures''' or '''attachements''' to a letter
* The content model of opener/closer and their connection with salute, signed, dateline, etc.
* diary entries
* definition of <signed> does not correspond with its actual use in the P5 guidelines
* address now in <p> but not in <div>: maybe not a good idea
* notification of addresses (different in different parts of the world). Could this be handled more adequately than just with datelines?

For more detailed minutes see [[SIGcorresp Minutes 20111015|Minutes Wuerzburg]], the main results of the discussions and the goals for the near future are summed up here:

* Preliminary goal: initiate a comparison between several customized or non-customized TEI versions for correspondence (to be published on the WiKi)
* Middle-term goal: propose "official" customization(s) for correspondence
* Middle-term goal: ask people to make some or their examples available and find out in which way they used TEI for correspondence
* Middle-term goal: develop best practice models
* Long-term goal: develop a compressed proposal for handling correspondence within TEI

==== Zadar, Nov 13, 2010 ====

Participation: around 5 people

1. Peter gave a report on last year's activities
* Task force ‘Dalfy’ was established after the Ann Arbor Meeting: Markus Flatscher, Bert Van Raemdonck, Peter Stadler
* Goal: Mapping of DALF (P4) to TEI P5 as a basis for further work on a correspondence customization
* But: Momentum got lost …
* Further: Some discussion on TEI-L about "signed vs. salute"

2. A brief look on open questions
* Correspondence meta data: correspDesc?
* The content model of postscript (cf. the Collection of Postscript-Examples and the contributions to the ps-discussion.)
* The content model of opener/closer and their connection with salute, signed, dateline, byline etc.

3. Attempt to create a roadmap for 2011
* Peter suggested a second attempt for a grant to achieve the mapping of DALF to P5
* Discussion about possible fundings for such an attempt
* review of the last failed TEI grant proposal: it was criticized by the present panel members that no preliminary work was (visibly) carried out
* Susan suggested to first initiate a survey on the correspondence list

4. AOB
* nothing

==== Ann Arbor, Nov 14, 2009 ====

Business and working meeting during the annual members meeting.
'''Participants''': Syd Bauman (SB), Markus Flatscher (MF), Elena Pierazzo (EP), Malte Rehbein (MR), Paul Schaffner (PSc), Peter Stadler (PSt), Bert Van Raemdonck (BV)

The business meeting was attended by MF, PSc, PSt and BV and - since the number of participants allowed it - was an informal talk about the different projects, the last meeting at London and the "correspDesc" PS had proposed there as well as the question whether editing correspondence from printed (secondary) material needs to treated differently than correspondence from manuscript source material. Work on the roadmap was postponed to the working meeting.

The working meeting was attended by all above mentioned participants who agreed on the need for a customization of some of the P5 elements (and element classes) for encoding correspondence. Question is of course: how?
* P5 has introduced some elements that were inspired by what had been done earlier in DALF (P4), but not all P4 customizations in DALF are actually rendered in P5 (and vice versa). Hence, a comparison of both should be a good starting point to eventually come to a new ODD for encoding correspondence, and maybe even for introducing an actual module for future TEI Guidelines.
* MF, PSt and BV agree on doing such a mapping together. Since BV is like the only DALF original left, he will coordinate this: he will split the work up, and will be contacting MF and PSt for further arrangements. [UPDATE: Edward Vanhoutte and Ron Van den Branden agreed to work on this with BV face to face and then get back to MF and PSt afterwards. --[[User:Pstadler|pstadler]] 07:04, 27 November 2009 (EST)]
* Before X-mas, there should be a conference call to catch up on how the mapping proceeds. PSt will contact Dan O'Donnell for funding.
* Bugs and absurdities in P5 regarding correspondence should be posted on Sourceforge. Elena Pierazzo will be the liaison between the SIG and the TEI Council. She will help SIG members to report our findings through Sourceforge or otherwise.
* The mapping should result in a new ODD. SB is willing to help us create it. The new ODD should somehow be more or less DALF-like. Hence, the working title of the ODD is 'Dalfy'. Dalfy will be an oddified version of DALF where obviously identical concepts will already be mapped to their P5 equivalents (therefore Dalfy != DALF).
* After the mapping is done, useful elements (or concepts, structures) that are neither in DALF or in P5 yet, should be listed. Members of the SIG are welcome to suggest their own 'favourite missing elements'.
* With Dalfy as starting point we can than try to rearrange and modify it to come to a new Correspondence ODD (no code name yet!) that should resolve all problems and satisfy all needs...
* Issues that came up during the meetings concern <address> (and multiple addresses within one letter) (SB and EP), <signed> (everyone), endorsements as well as correspondence by committee (PSc)
* Besides the work on Dalfy PSt shall finish his work on oddifying his <correspDesc>.
'''Roadmap/Milestones''':
* Before Christmas: Teleconference about the mapping (MF, PSt, BV)
* Febr. 10, 2010: Mapping done
* July, 2010: Next SIG meeting at Digital Humanities conference (London) on new ODD

[Minutes PSt and BV]

==== London, Nov 8, 2008 ====

The first section (14-15:30) saw short presentations of current projects by:
* Tim McLoughlin: James Barry's letters
* Hilde Bøe: eMunch project (assisted by Ellen Nessheim Wiger with the Henrik Ibsen correspondence)
* Peter Boot: correspondence of Vincent van Gogh
* David Sewell: correspondence projects published via ROTUNDA
* Deborah K. Wright: correspondence of Matthew Prior
* Peter Stadler: correspondence of Carl Maria von Weber

The second section (16-16:45) had to be shortened due to organisational necessities but saw general discussion about
* the content model of postscript which is rather restricted and does not allow for an i.e. '''head''' element. Everyone was encouraged to send examples via the list. [Let me add that the same holds true for '''address''' --[[User:Pstadler|pstadler]]]
* the need and the possible content for an '''correspDesc''' element within '''sourceDesc'''. I will try to create an odd file with the necessary additions to the schema as a starting point for further expertise. --[[User:Pstadler|pstadler]].
* correspondence as an event. Lou pointed this out as similar topics were discussed in the ontologies SIG.

Because the initiative for this SIG emerged from editorial work with 19th century letters, the organizers of this SIG have focused on these types of materials. However, we want this SIG to be more encompassing, embracing varying types of historical and literary correspondence including epistles, telegrams, postcards, etc., and perhaps other types of documents that share features with physical written correspondence like diaries, diary entries, letters to the editor, e-mail, blogs, etc.

The common feature of these sorts of text is a generally formalized physical appearance (e.g., an envelope for letters) and structure of content (i.e. address field, special formulas for opener and closer). [http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Projects/da03.xml DALF] was one of the best documented projects in this area developing specific DTDs for those needs in P4: this may be a starting point for further work in P5.

Initial topics for the SIG Correspondence may include:
* the handling of the envelope and postal addresses
* the formal description of correspondence as a written dialogue between an author and an addressee
* correspondence-specific bibliographical data within the metadata section

== Activities ==

The SIG runs a mailing list, which you can join by visiting http://listserv.brown.edu/tei-corresp-sig.html .

=== Topics currently under discussion ===
* The content of a special '''correspDesc''' element (see [[SIG:Correspondence/ODD_work]])
* Discussion of different P5-customizations for correspondence (see [[SIG:Correspondence/EncodingComparisons]])
* The content model of '''postscript''': look at the [[Collection of Postscript-Examples]] and the contributions to the [[ps-discussion]].
* How to deal with '''enclosures''' or '''attachements''' to a letter
* The content model of opener/closer and their connection with salute, signed, dateline, etc.
* diary entries
* definition of <signed> does not correspond with its actual use in the P5 guidelines
* address now in <p> but not in <div>: maybe not a good idea
* notification of addresses (different in different parts of the world). Could this be handled more adequately than just with datelines?

For more detailed minutes see [[SIGcorresp Minutes 20111015|Minutes Wuerzburg]], the main results of the discussions and the goals for the near future are summed up here:

* Preliminary goal: initiate a comparison between several customized or non-customized TEI versions for correspondence (to be published on the WiKi)
* Middle-term goal: propose "official" customization(s) for correspondence
* Middle-term goal: ask people to make some or their examples available and find out in which way they used TEI for correspondence
* Middle-term goal: develop best practice models
* Long-term goal: develop a compressed proposal for handling correspondence within TEI

==== Zadar, Nov 13, 2010 ====

Participation: around 5 people

1. Peter gave a report on last year's activities
* Task force ‘Dalfy’ was established after the Ann Arbor Meeting: Markus Flatscher, Bert Van Raemdonck, Peter Stadler
* Goal: Mapping of DALF (P4) to TEI P5 as a basis for further work on a correspondence customization
* But: Momentum got lost …
* Further: Some discussion on TEI-L about "signed vs. salute"

2. A brief look on open questions
* Correspondence meta data: correspDesc?
* The content model of postscript (cf. the Collection of Postscript-Examples and the contributions to the ps-discussion.)
* The content model of opener/closer and their connection with salute, signed, dateline, byline etc.

3. Attempt to create a roadmap for 2011
* Peter suggested a second attempt for a grant to achieve the mapping of DALF to P5
* Discussion about possible fundings for such an attempt
* review of the last failed TEI grant proposal: it was criticized by the present panel members that no preliminary work was (visibly) carried out
* Susan suggested to first initiate a survey on the correspondence list

4. AOB
* nothing

==== Ann Arbor, Nov 14, 2009 ====

Business and working meeting during the annual members meeting.
'''Participants''': Syd Bauman (SB), Markus Flatscher (MF), Elena Pierazzo (EP), Malte Rehbein (MR), Paul Schaffner (PSc), Peter Stadler (PSt), Bert Van Raemdonck (BV)

The business meeting was attended by MF, PSc, PSt and BV and - since the number of participants allowed it - was an informal talk about the different projects, the last meeting at London and the "correspDesc" PS had proposed there as well as the question whether editing correspondence from printed (secondary) material needs to treated differently than correspondence from manuscript source material. Work on the roadmap was postponed to the working meeting.

The working meeting was attended by all above mentioned participants who agreed on the need for a customization of some of the P5 elements (and element classes) for encoding correspondence. Question is of course: how?
* P5 has introduced some elements that were inspired by what had been done earlier in DALF (P4), but not all P4 customizations in DALF are actually rendered in P5 (and vice versa). Hence, a comparison of both should be a good starting point to eventually come to a new ODD for encoding correspondence, and maybe even for introducing an actual module for future TEI Guidelines.
* MF, PSt and BV agree on doing such a mapping together. Since BV is like the only DALF original left, he will coordinate this: he will split the work up, and will be contacting MF and PSt for further arrangements. [UPDATE: Edward Vanhoutte and Ron Van den Branden agreed to work on this with BV face to face and then get back to MF and PSt afterwards. --[[User:Pstadler|pstadler]] 07:04, 27 November 2009 (EST)]
* Before X-mas, there should be a conference call to catch up on how the mapping proceeds. PSt will contact Dan O'Donnell for funding.
* Bugs and absurdities in P5 regarding correspondence should be posted on Sourceforge. Elena Pierazzo will be the liaison between the SIG and the TEI Council. She will help SIG members to report our findings through Sourceforge or otherwise.
* The mapping should result in a new ODD. SB is willing to help us create it. The new ODD should somehow be more or less DALF-like. Hence, the working title of the ODD is 'Dalfy'. Dalfy will be an oddified version of DALF where obviously identical concepts will already be mapped to their P5 equivalents (therefore Dalfy != DALF).
* After the mapping is done, useful elements (or concepts, structures) that are neither in DALF or in P5 yet, should be listed. Members of the SIG are welcome to suggest their own 'favourite missing elements'.
* With Dalfy as starting point we can than try to rearrange and modify it to come to a new Correspondence ODD (no code name yet!) that should resolve all problems and satisfy all needs...
* Issues that came up during the meetings concern <address> (and multiple addresses within one letter) (SB and EP), <signed> (everyone), endorsements as well as correspondence by committee (PSc)
* Besides the work on Dalfy PSt shall finish his work on oddifying his <correspDesc>.
'''Roadmap/Milestones''':
* Before Christmas: Teleconference about the mapping (MF, PSt, BV)
* Febr. 10, 2010: Mapping done
* July, 2010: Next SIG meeting at Digital Humanities conference (London) on new ODD

[Minutes PSt and BV]

==== London, Nov 8, 2008 ====

The first section (14-15:30) saw short presentations of current projects by:
* Tim McLoughlin: James Barry's letters
* Hilde Bøe: eMunch project (assisted by Ellen Nessheim Wiger with the Henrik Ibsen correspondence)
* Peter Boot: correspondence of Vincent van Gogh
* David Sewell: correspondence projects published via ROTUNDA
* Deborah K. Wright: correspondence of Matthew Prior
* Peter Stadler: correspondence of Carl Maria von Weber

The second section (16-16:45) had to be shortened due to organisational necessities but saw general discussion about
* the content model of postscript which is rather restricted and does not allow for an i.e. '''head''' element. Everyone was encouraged to send examples via the list. [Let me add that the same holds true for '''address''' --[[User:Pstadler|pstadler]]]
* the need and the possible content for an '''correspDesc''' element within '''sourceDesc'''. I will try to create an odd file with the necessary additions to the schema as a starting point for further expertise. --[[User:Pstadler|pstadler]].
* correspondence as an event. Lou pointed this out as similar topics were discussed in the ontologies SIG.
