  • Discuss options for further work by Michael on Thutmouse (SIG grant)

Agree on option E for tei-marc mapping approach for the grant

Discussion of point "C" -- beautification is likely to be a losing battle

thutmouse (see documentation) -- do we have a testing scenario for what Michael has already done? Kevin provided Michael 1,000 MARC records to test (see also January 16 email from Kevin); tools page

Option E includes only A & B (does not include C & D); Kevin will contact Michael and let him know

We can compile feedback related to C & D aspects, even though we're not asking Michael to do any further work on that. We'll probably have feedback, and if Michael can't work on them, we can save them for later

    • Add support for all MARC fields mentioned in the Best Practices and for all three mapping variants (source, tei-from-source, and tei-from-digital). Option includes A & B as detailed in the grant.

* Review pending issues; assign tasks to group members (see http://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php/Talk:Best_Practices_for_TEI_in_Libraries)

** Discussion of whether to Include All OR Specify P5 attributes within <text> link Syd registers a minority opinion. Discussion ensues. Look at attributes we have used so far in the Best Practices. 438 attributes in TEI P5 -- some of these are repeats in different modules choosing what attributes we're going to allow in the TEI for Libraries BP Michelle will revise language to flag it as something we need to come back to. Lisa will take a first pass at the list of all attributes and strike through

** publication statement structure link

Because publication statement is only used in File Description (i.e., NOT in Source Description), then there is no conflict here. The guidelines stand as they are.

    • <meeting> link (that section says there’s e-mail from Kevin on 10-12, but I haven’t found it yet — Syd)

Do we want to keep the meeting element or no?


    • <appInfo link (I think we may be able to just resolve this on the call — Syd)
    • hyphenation link (I think we may be able to just resolve this on the call — Syd)
  • Determine timeline
