Report on last year’s activities
It was a successful year:
- further development of <correspDesc> and introduction into the TEI standard
- workshop on "Encoding correspondence meta data with <correspDesc>" held at the TEI conference 2015
- accepted article for jTEI: "Towards a model for encoding correspondence in the TEI. Developing and implementing <correspDesc>" by Marcel Illetschko, Sabine Seifert, Peter Stadler (not yet published)
- further development of the Correspondence Metadata Interchange format (CMI)
- collaboration for the development of the web service correspSearch
Discussion

- Peter: we should join forces with them
- "correspSearch"
- Stefan reported on the work on the web service correspSearch
