History

• Here's how it began
• TEI Guidelines have their apocrypha as well, here's one on corpus annotation. Note that it is absolutely non-normative, included here to give credit to the original Working Group and to provide a platform to either elaborate on or to diverge from.

The most relevant chapters of the Guidelines

• 8. Transcriptions of Speech
• 9. Dictionaries
• 15. Language Corpora
• 17. Simple Analytic Mechanisms
• 18. Feature Structures
• 20. Non-hierarchical Structures

Tools - reports of linguistic tools working / not working with TEI

• GATE doesn't do XML see XML parsing issue: consecutive empty elements mishandled
• Poliqarp: a concordancer and a query engine for multi-layer TEI (not flexible... yet? and using the format of the National Corpus of Polish)
• Xaira: designed to support indexing and analysis of large XML textual resources such as natural language corpora, see also http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/rts/xaira/
• Textometrie -- a suite of tools for the analysis of corpora, TEI corpora among them (plug-ins needed)
• Anotatornia -- software for manual creation/editing of stand-off TEI annotation layers, providing control over the annotators' work (it does e.g. conflict recognition and resolving, see the paper linked from its homepage)

LLiZ (Linguistic Lunch in Zadar)

The idea is to meet at an informal lunch during the TEI-MM in Zadar to see what common goals we may have and what we want to do about them.

Date: (let's decide around October)

Place: (let's decide in November)
