	I ~~was elected last year to complete~~ the ~~final year~~ of a term which had been vacated, and I have spent most of this year serving my 'apprenticeship' on the TEI Council, learning how the various parts of the project fit together and how to make a difference. ~~TEI is a venerable project, and it has been a daunting task at times. I would now like~~ to ~~be elected to serve a full term so that I can put this knowledge to use for the community.~~		I believe standards constitute the foundation of any sustainable global community. I’m committed to making the TEI more open and accessible to Spanish-speakers through different projects that focus on translating and re-contextualizing TEI materials to Spanish, and adapting Digital Scholarly Editions principles. Being part of the TEI-C board for one term gave me the opportunity to start this conversation about a more open, diverse, and global TEI “inside” the TEI-C. We are now planning the next steps for the newly born TEI Internationalization Working Group, in which I plan to involve the Spanish-speaking community, and I have also fostered best Open Access practices for the Journal of the TEI. I have chosen to stand for the Board in a second term, as I would like to continue working on these projects inside the TEI-C.

	~~I have a strong interest in~~ the ~~design of~~ TEI ~~guidelines,~~ and ~~have been especially interested in the work~~ to ~~implement <standoff>~~ and a TEI ~~bridge~~ to ~~the world of WADM. I understand that some of the most crucial work of the Council~~, ~~though, is to improve the consistency~~ and ~~clarity of the guidelines~~.

	~~In my academic work, I run the Quill Project at the University~~ of ~~Oxford, which produces digital editions of negotiated texts and~~ the ~~discussions that produce them. This category of text includes many written constitutions, pieces legislation, and international treaties. The project hosts a rapidly growing digital archive~~ -~~- much of which concerns manuscripts literally edited with scraps of paper and glue, and which can therefore be complicated to transcribe accurately.~~

	~~I have an interest in the very technical aspects of representing humanities data. Due to the algorithms used~~ for ~~processing,~~ the ~~Quill Project's core data model was not initially able~~ to ~~handle structured documents of any kind~~, ~~While we can now handle some limited rich text formats~~, ~~XML remains a difficult problem. An active area of current research is therefore to find a way to implement Operational Transformation techniques reliably on XML/~~TEI ~~documents that describe~~ the ~~work of a formal negotiation, either directly or using bidirectional translation into intermediate document formats~~. ~~I hope that this work will result not just in improvements~~ for ~~us, but in~~ the ~~ability to write more general tools for editing and processing~~ TEI, ~~especially~~ in ~~multi~~-~~user environments.~~

	~~More generally, our project puts a strong emphasis on the ability to annotate data~~, and ~~the production of highly accurate transcriptions.~~

	I ~~am interested in~~ the ~~creation~~ of ~~workflows that speed documentary editing processes and in~~ the ~~automatic conversion of~~ TEI ~~to and from other formats for the purpose of editing and analysis~~. I ~~am interested in extending the TEI specification~~ to ~~capture~~ the ~~features of the specific kinds of material that we encounter during our work on negotiations and legislative histories.~~

	~~I am well aware of the amount of work needed from members of the Technical Council~~ in ~~order to ensure that TEI remains~~ a ~~vibrant community and that the standard develops sensibly to allow for new or better applications. If elected~~, I ~~commit~~ to ~~being an active member of~~ the ~~Council throughout my term~~.

	'''Biography'''		'''Biography'''

	I ~~studied Ancient and Modern History~~ at ~~University College~~, ~~Oxford, where~~ I ~~also completed an MPhil in Greek/Roman History and~~ a ~~Doctorate focused on American Political Thought. I have held several research~~ and ~~teaching posts. I am currently the director of the Quill Project~~, ~~at Pembroke College~~, ~~Oxford~~, and ~~collaborate~~ with ~~a number of institutions in the United States~~, ~~including a deep partnership with an open~~-~~enrollment university~~. ~~My current role sees me involved in data-model design, visualization, user-interface design~~, and ~~software engineering~~, ~~alongside~~ the ~~traditional tasks~~ of ~~a historian~~.		I am an Associate Researcher at the Instituto de Investigaciones Bibliográficas y Crítica Textual (IIBICRIT-CONICET, Argentina). I coordinate a DH Lab (HD CAICYT Lab, CONICET) and, among others, the Master in Digital Humanities (UNED, Spain) and the course “Digital Publishing with Minimal Computing” with Raff Viglianti (Global Classrooms Program, 2020-2023). I serve as one of the DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) Ambassadors for Latin America, and director of the Revista de Humanidades Digitales, among others. I am the president of the Asociación Argentina de Humanidades Digitales (AAHD).
