Session Overview

Kevin, Melanie and Michelle to flesh out with talking points.

  • 5 mins: Welcome and Purpose for Revision (P5, Conformance, True Libraries Customization): Kevin
  • 5 mins: Introductions (?)
  • 5 mins: Quick overview of the Header: Melanie
    • Updated for P5
    • Updated based on actual Header usage – reflect that Headers are created and used in a variety of environments
    • Old guidelines attempted to relate Header to MARC cataloging. We have continued that, but have also taken into account non-MARC metadata. In this phase we clarified MARC references and accommodations, while making sure the guidelines are useful for those creating their Headers by hand, and those generating them from (or using them with) other standards. Future phases should include mappings and recommendations for using MARC and other standards with Headers.
    • Clarifies some things (like when you are describing the source document and when you are describing the TEI document)
    • Encourages standardization whenever possible to facilitate interoperability
    • Encourages machine-readability
  • 5 mins: Quick overview of levels 1-5: Michelle
    • Level 1 & 2: automatic content generation (I will flesh these out a bit more)
    • Level 3: basic structural markup
    • Level 4: content analysis
    • Level 5: scholarly encoding projects which are unique
  • 25 mins: Discussion: Kevin (facilitates); Melanie and Michelle (take notes)
  • 10 mins: Sum Up / Wrap Up (All of us can do this based on our notes)
    • Point folks to the online survey in case they have additional feedback
  • 5 mins: Next Steps (Prioritize feedback, TEI-C proposal, etc.): Michelle or Kevin
    • Reviewing and priortizing feedback during May 6th meeting (and one subseuqent folllow-up meeting)
    • Determine urgency and feasibility for this Revision; begin list for next revision (already a few items on this list)
    • Present the GBP to the TEI Board and Council for vetting and ultimate hosting on the TEI-C web site (late summer)

Handouts

  • 15-20 copies of the GBP (marked as DRAFT)
