TEI SIG on Correspondence - Minutes Lyon, Oct 29, 2015

Status: draft --User: Seifert, 06 December 2015 (EST)

Attendees

Attendees gave a short introduction on their ongoing and/or planned projects:

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

  • SIG for Computer-Mediated Communication

- they work on the same problems as we do concerning meta data and the structure of the communication

- <post> element for a tweet or a posting what would be a letter for us - they plan to file a feature request for that

- they took our <correspAction> and turned it into an attribute

- Peter: we should join forces with them


  • "correspSearch"

- Stefan reported on the work on the web service correspSearch

- he wrote a blog post on the "Perspectives of the further development of the Correspondence Metadata Interchange Format (CMIF)"


- Mariana: Does "correspSearch" accept meta data in other languages?

- Stefan: with authority files etc. no problem

- Peter: information on language of letter in CMIF might be helpful

- Patrizia: case of translations of one letter into different languages

- Stefan: introducing this feature in "correspSearch" might be a good idea


  • spread the word

- Anne: recent meeting of CostAction and [ http://republicofletters.stanford.edu/ Mapping the Republic of Letters]

- we should talk to Pip Willcox to make <correspDesc> and "correspSearch" known

- we could write a little standard text to send around to make our work known

Future plans

  • provide examples
  • provide documentation
  • taxonomy/thesaurus as a suggestion
  • provide best-practice model
  • provide stylesheets for extracting all <correspDesc> elements from a corpus
  • long-term goal: How to encode textual features with TEI?
