Re: [dm-l] [Fwd: encoding maps, graphics with text?]

I didn't get round to downloading Firefox 0.9.1, will do soon and report :-) In Firefox 0.7 it seems that the farther down the page you browse the higher in the browser window a yellow popup is positioned. So if I scroll down to the very bottom of a page and hover the cursor above e.g. "Laura" at the foot of a page, the yellow popup is displayed at the complete top of my browser window (so very much not near the "Laura" in question). Sometimes in such a case I can't see the the yellow popup, because it's seems to be depicted somewhere beyond the top of my browser window. A minor detail I guess, thought I'd mention it anyhow. Hope it's helpfull. I'm gonna call it a day now (it's 6.30 PM overhere ;-) s.y., Joris >>> mholmes(a)uvic.ca 7/7/04 18:15:45 >>> Hi there, At 08:26 AM 07/07/2004, you wrote: >Yes, it's up and running. Nice site too.

Our own researcher is having trouble accessing it from Paris (and is doing a presentation on it soon...)

Any experience with standoff markup?
by Daniel O'Donnell 04 Jul '04

04 Jul '04

Does anybody have experience with standoff markup? That is the name given to markup, as I understand it, that is stored independently of the actual text in question. Is it currently possible even? -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel. (403) 329-2377 Fax.

Experience with Full Text Searching
by Daniel O'Donnell 02 Jul '04

02 Jul '04

Hello all, I have another question for the collective wisdom. What are people's experience with full text searching. We are building an xml-ised database of original journal articles. These will be retrievable using metadata tags like issue, author, key words, subjects, etc. The problem is that building full text retrieval capabilities into the same search engine will ultimately affect display times. I guess I have two questions: a) is full text searching of academic articles a sine qua non? I used to think everybody did it, but I've been looking a bit more and see it is less usual than I thought in the case of larger libraries. b) have people suggestions for incorporating full text searching into a document database. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel.

DTD for Editing Medieval Booklists ?
by Lucien Reynhout 01 Jul '04

01 Jul '04

Dear dm-l Community Members, Next fall, Ill have to present a lecture in the framework of a study day dedicated to medieval libraries and booklists (medieval lists of manuscript and, more rarely, printed books) in the Southern Low Countries (http://calenda.revues.org/nouvelle4283.html). I will speak about the possibility of an electronic publication (of the textual contents, not only the bibliographic references) of those medieval sources, which are at the same time texts and structured data bases for the knowledge of manuscript books and medieval libraries. I naturally turned towards the rich concept of structured texts/documents and markup languages, and towards XML and the TEI which seems to be at the forefront of text encoding standardization in the humanities. Now, although I did very carefully examine the TEI website, I didnt find any mention of a project dealing with a DTD on that particular field. Could anybody of yours be so kind as to inform me of such an initiative if he/she knows about it? Thank you very much, Lucien Reynhout Royal Library of Belgium ************************************************************************ ************* Dr. Lucien Reynhout Assistant / Assistent Bibliothèque royale de Belgique / Koninklijke Bibliotheek van België Keizerslaan 4 Boulevard de l'Empereur B - 1000 BRUSSEL / BRUXELLES Tl +32 (0)2 519.57.02 Fx +32 (0)2 519.57.10 lucien.reynhout(a)kbr.be ************************************************************************ *************

Hacks: an example.
by Daniel O'Donnell 01 Jul '04

01 Jul '04

Speaking of hacks, here is an example of what I was talking about. It is from the <www.digitalmedievalist.org> website's screen css <http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/dmlscreen.css>. b) Screen Geography */ div { /* controls width and location of all blocks except div.navigation and children */ margin-left: 20%; max-width: 35em; top: 0; } div.navigation { margin-left: 0; position: absolute; /* position: absolute is for MSIE only; the style is removed below */ top: 15px; left: 4px; width: 18%; } /* MSIE workaround */ /* This instruction hides "position:fixed" from MSIE5.5~6.0 */ body>div.navigation { position: fixed; } This is a harmless enough hack, I suspect (it would be better if the second instruction referred to "body div.navigation" to keep the two instructions exactly parallel). Currently it works; if MSIE later implements the > child rule, then it won't work for MSIE anymore, and users of MSIE will end up with scrolling navigation. I am beginning to wonder if it is not better, however, to design a sheet to the standard, and then allow users of MSIE to choose a simpler sheet if some effect doesn't work well in their browser. Comments? -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel. (403) 329-2377 Fax.

[Fwd: The time has come to make some <choice>s]
by Daniel O'Donnell 01 Jul '04

01 Jul '04

Hello all, I realise that many of us are on the TEI list and hence have seen this; it is an important question, however, and I thought I would distribute it here as well. If you are just beginning in computer applications, the issue is fairly advanced (though it has already come up), and you're not likely to write a position paper on it in the next 30 days; I hope in this one instance, you'll forgive me for not explaining it unless asked. -dan -------- Original Message -------- Subject: The time has come to make some s Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2004 19:20:35 -0400 From: Syd Bauman <Syd_Bauman(a)BROWN.EDU> Reply-To: editors(a)tei-c.org To: TEI-L(a)LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS TO INFLUENCE P5! ---- --- ---------- -- --------- --- Over the last year there has been some public discussion of the "replacement Janus" mechanism for P5. The quick overview is that, in order to avoid putting content (which might need markup) in attribute values (which can't have markup), it has been suggested that we change the so-called Janus tags from things like <corr sic="adnire">admire</corr> <orig reg="w">vv</orig>ith <orig reg="w">vv</orig>hat charity the <abbr expan="Text Encoding Initiative Consortium">tei-c</abbr> to things like <choice> <sic>adnire</sic> <corr>admire</corr> </choice> <choice><orig>vv</orig><reg>w</reg></choice>ith <choice> <reg>w</reg> <orig>vv</orig> </choice>hat charity the <choice src="abbr"> <abbr>tei-c</abbr> <expan>Text Encoding Initiative Consortium</expan> </choice> The TEI Council would like to enlist the assistance of interested parties in helping them consider the issues involved. Therefore, this is a call for volunteers to write up a short working paper on the issues surrounding the use of the new mechanism and of the previous attribute mechanism. (Note that some have referred to the new mechanism as the "choice" mechanism, but the name of the element used in the examples above is not carved in stone, and is one issue the authors of this working paper may wish to address.) Current thinking is that a first draft of the paper should be ready by Sat 07 Aug, and the final version should be ready on Thu 16 Sep. Interested volunteers should reply to editors(a)tei-c.org. -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel. (403) 329-2377 Fax.
