* Peter Gorman (University of Wisconsin-Madison)

Kevin Hawkins welcomed everyone. He explained, for those who were attending the Chicago Colloquium on Digital Humanities and Computer Science but not the TEI conference, the role of SIGs in the TEI Consortium and explained that his co-convenor, Stefanie Gehrke, could not attend. He added that Martin Mueller arranged for the dinner meeting and that Elena Pierazzo asked him to pass along to the group that "the TEI needs libraries!".

He asked everyone to introduce themselves.

He summarized recent activities of the SIG on Libraries and possibly future directions:

# Members of the group collaborated on a complete rewriting of the document now called [http://purl.oclc.org/NET/teiinlibraries Best Practices for TEI in Libraries], plus development of an ODD-based customization. We know some people have mentioned using it the document as a point of reference, but we're unaware of anyone using schemas derived from the ODDs. As the TEI Guidelines continue to evolve, there's a growing list of things which should be addressed in this document in a new version. There's been some discussion with the Technical Council about whether they would take over maintenance of the Best Practices and its associated customization, but Council didn't want to do this. Instead, we began [[Incorporating_BP_into_P5|an effort to incorporate aspects of the Best Practices fully applicable to non-library users into the Guidelines]]. We might try to find funding to pay a student to go through the Best Practices and create such tickets.
# The SIG received a grant from the TEI-C which was used to pay Michael Sperberg-McQueen to develop a tool now called [[Thutmose II]]. There is work on it remaining to be done, so we might try to find a way to make this happen.
# At our SIG meeting two years ago, Harriett, Michelle, and Kevin drafted what they nicknamed [[TEI_Libraries_SIG_Manifesto|the "TEI in libraries manifesto"]]. We should think about what to do with this.
# Some of us who have worked for Google Library Partner institutions have been discussing the possibility of Google creating TEI versions of books they scanned. Peter helped him explain that there have been two topics of discussion:
## Making TEI available as a format that Google Library Partner institutions can download for titles digitized from their collections.
## Making TEI available as a download format for users of Google Books.
# We might create an OAI-PMH profile (called "community guidelines") for sharing metadata about TEI documents, allowing someone to develop a discovery service based on OAI-PMH. The profile could even be mentioned in the Best Practices. Jindřich noted that the Czech National Library is already doing using OAI-PMH but exposing the whole TEI document.
# Figure out how TEI Simple might relate to the Best Practices.
# Come up with topics for a TEI Tweet Chat focusing on libraries.
# Discuss the relationship of our SIG with the proposed ADHO SIG on Libraries and DH.

During discussion, the following ideas arose:
# Create tutorials and starting points for learning the TEI, especially aimed at librarians.
# Update the Best Practices document and Thutmose II to reflect changes from AACR2 to RDA and in how RDA is encoded in MARC (using different fields).
# Giving guidance on mapping between TEI and MODS. (A number of people said they were using MODS.)
# Inventory crosswalks involving TEI, perhaps on the TEI wiki.
# Turn the text of the manifesto into an eye-catching design for a poster that could be circulated. Models of similar efforts were cited.
# TEI Tweet Chat:
## Find a prominent library blogger to promote the event.
## During the TEI Tweet Chat, mention the Best Practices, Thutmose II, etc.
## Ask if people are using the Best Practices and Thutmose II.
# Provide advice for those migrating TEI collections into Fedora (including Hydra and Islandora). Julia noted that TAPAS is developing a Hydra gem and will release as open-source software.
# Meet virtually in between our annual face-to-face meetings to keep ourselves on task.

Kevin invited people to join the SIG mailing list if they weren't already a member, and said he would circulate our minutes on that list.

P6-dev

2014-10-27T22:34:31Z

Schassan:

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

* 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 // ''
** ...

Council agenda 2013-11-OntologySIG

2013-10-29T09:59:17Z

Schassan:

The Ontology SIG meeting in Rome discussed the need for an '''object description chapter'''.

It is suggested that a working group be chartered by Council to go through the MS description chapter and re-consider its coverage, marking all changes which are needed to extend the coverage of the chapter to include other objects such as paintings and tombstones, text bearing or not.

Based on the documented need for changes the group should either decide to make a combined chapter or write a new one.

Element sharing is an issue to be taken into consideration.

One solution is to extend the place-person etc. with objects and focus the MS description on all kinds of text bearing objects.
MS descriptions elements could also be considered to be an extension of more general elements, and possibly this needs addressing in ODD (i.e. how to say formally that an element is a specialisation of another).

All this needs a call for examples from the community, of course.

The need to change the MS desc chapter is expressed in the MS desc community as well.

Torsten Schassan, Sebastian Rahtz, Oyvind Eide and Lou Burnard have all expressed an interested in being in this group, and Torsten is provisionally willing to lead it.

TEI manuscript catalogues

2013-10-04T06:50:53Z

Schassan:

This page is a location to record manuscript catalogues which use TEI as a source, preservation, or output format. Please feel free to add any others that you know of -- Perhaps inserting them alphabetically by name?

----
* '''Name:''' FIHRIST
* '''URL:''' http://www.fihrist.org.uk/
* '''Is TEI Available?''' Yes -- TEI XML download of individual manuscript descriptions
* '''Description of Catalogue/Project:''' The FIHRIST catalogue provides a searchable interface to TEI XML manuscript descriptions from some of the major manuscript collections in the UK. With the continuing contribution of manuscript records from UK libraries, Fihrist aims to become a union catalogue for manuscripts in Arabic script. Partners include: Bodleian Library - University of Oxford, British Library, Cambridge University Library, The Islamic Manuscript Association, The Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, SOAS - University of London, University of Birmingham, The John Rylands University Library - University of Manchester, Wellcome Library. See http://www.fihrist.org.uk/about for more information.
* '''Notes on use of TEI:''' The FIHRIST Schema was a customisation for Islamic manuscripts based on the [http://code.google.com/p/tei-enrich/ ENRICH TEI ODD customisation for western manuscript description] created for the [http://enrich.manuscriptorium.com/ ENRICH project].
----

----
* '''Name:''' Guide to Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in the Huntington Library (2003)
* '''URL:''' http://bancroft.berkeley.edu/digitalscriptorium/huntington/toc.html
* '''Is TEI Available?''' No
* '''Description of Catalogue/Project:''' This static web segment translates the two-volume printed ''Guide'' to TEI-XML and thence to HTML. There is a simple search facility; users are encouraged also to consult the indexes of authors, scribes, artists, places, dates, and titles, which have been converted from print and linked. Since the project doesn't say: it was led by Consuelo Dutschke, with encoding and best-practices contributions by Sharon Goetz and XSL rendering by Liz Shaw.
* '''Notes on use of TEI:''' HEHweb uses a customization of TEI P4 based upon MASTER and TEIMMSS drafts and discussions that were not yet final. Its use of <msDesc> and child elements follows the 1989 printed Huntington catalogue and is a recognizable early cousin of the P5 msDesc module.
----

----
* '''Name:''' Register of Early Modern Slovenian Manuscripts
* '''URL:''' http://ezb.ijs.si/nrss/
* '''Is TEI Available?''' Yes
* '''Description of Catalogue/Project:''' The web portal presents Slovenian manuscripts from the Baroque and Enlightenment periods. The on-line Register in open access comprises manuscript descriptions of the first 100 manuscripts, researched so far, and 7.000+ digital images. The system, based on Fedora Commons, enables browsing the manuscript descriptions and associated facsimiles, as well as complex searches over structured data, including taxonomies of text types and social contexts (monastic, diocesan, civil etc.) in which the manuscripts came into existence. Even as work in progress, the repository demonstrates the variety and longevity of manuscript culture in early modern period and its important role in Slovenian literature.
* '''Notes on use of TEI:''' No modifications.
----

----
* '''Name:''' Saramusik
* '''URL:''' http://www.saramusik.org
* '''Is TEI Available?''' No
* '''Description of Catalogue/Project: ''' SARAMusiK is an arabic catalogue project of known arabic manuscripts on Music. It is based on different paper catalogues. This catalogue is extented to include a critical edition of the texts.
* '''Notes on use of TEI:''' The main data is filled using a php/mysql database. The body text of the critical edition is stored using the TEI format. All output is in a TEI format.
----

----
* '''Name:''' Manuscript database of the Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel
* '''URL:''' http://diglib.hab.de/?db=mss
* '''Is TEI Available?''' yes
* '''Description of Catalogue/Project:''' Basically it shall have descriptions of '''all''' manuscripts of the HAB.
* '''Notes on use of TEI:''' The mssDB differentiates between a socalled Signaturdokument (roughly: Shelfmark file) and catalogue(s). The Shelfmark file represents the manuscript itself, containing the most important bits of information on the ms only, <facsimile> and references to descriptions. The descriptions are representations of a (usually printed) catalogue in electronic form thus preserving the historical form and information of that very catalogue entry. We use an ODD based upon the ENRICH ODD, taking it further e.g. by offering value lists on several attributes. The ODD is available at http://diglib.hab.de/rules/schema/ER/v0.4/europeana-regia.xml
----

----
* '''Name:''' e-codices - Virtual Manuscript Library of Switzerland
* '''URL:''' http://www.e-codices.unifr.ch
* '''Is TEI Available?''' yes
* '''Description of Catalogue/Project:''' The goal of e-codices is to provide access to all medieval and selected early modern manuscripts of Switzerland via a virtual library. It contains almost 1000 mss from 42 institutions.
* '''Notes on use of TEI:'''

== Main objectives ==

Most important thing to investigate on was whether the module msDesc could be used for non-medieval non-codex manuscript or non-manuscript material or has to be extended. Possible materials include (but are not limited to)
* printed material
* text-bearing-object made of something other than parchment (tombstone, statue, bell, curse tablet)

Comment ts:
* If should take into consideration to invent alternative, i.e. parallel, elements with this extended substructure.
* If we think about printed books, we have to consider the FRBR view on books, i.e. the separation of work, expression, manifestation and item.
This problem became evidend when I had to tell whether the msDesc is sufficient for a research project which investigates on the transmission of a certain text in print:
* They want to express something about "the" (ideal) text. (Work)
* Next the different editions of the text have to be compared, the differences have to be recorded. (Manifestation)
* The specialities of the exemplar have to be described. (Item)
This might apply even to other levels, e.g. scripts, letter-forms etc.

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

=== Introduction ===

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

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

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

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

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

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

=== Activities ===

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

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

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