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 - Peter: we should join forces with them, <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
- Stefan reported on the work on the web service correspSearch and wrote a blog post on the "Perspectives of the further development of the Correspondence Metadata Interchange Format (CMIF)"
- Anne: 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
- Anne: we could write a little standard text to send around to make our work known
- 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
- Patrizia asks for a structure that could be copied, for a best-practice model - Peter: our next step is to develop a best-practice model, already some examples online on GitHub and in TEI Guidelines (eg.g. here) - Maria: We could prepare some stylesheets - Anne: a collection of examples perhaps better because less normative
- Mariana: problems with envelopes, where to encode the occurrence of an envelope - Peter: address can be part of <teiHeader> and also of <body> (normalized data vs. transcription of address) - occurrence of envelope should go into <physDesc> → example - How does DALF P5 do that? (ODD file, documentation, schema, and example in this zip file)
- Mariana: encoding of type of correspondence and attachments, non-textual assets found in the envelope - counter-argument was: type of correspondence belongs to <profileDesc> - SIG could come up with a taxonomy/thesaurus as a suggestion - perhaps libraries, archives, post museums already have taxonomies - Patrizia: in Paris is a museum of letters and correspondence, with another branch in Brussels - Stefan: ask mailing list
- Peter: possible to create stylesheets to convert regular <correspDesc> to CMIF - Stefan: use cases for that needed - stylesheets for extracting all <correspDesc> elements from a corpus
- Mariana: Do older versions of Oxygen work with <correspDesc>? - Peter: these files don’t validate, one could update the TEI Add on
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?
