[Fwd: encoding maps, graphics with text?]

I believe somebody here was discussing this. -dan -------- Original Message -------- Subject: encoding maps, graphics with text? Date: Tue, 6 Jul 2004 16:15:23 -0400 From: Julia Flanders <Julia_Flanders(a)BROWN.EDU> Reply-To: Julia Flanders <Julia_Flanders(a)BROWN.EDU> To: TEI-L(a)LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU Does anyone know of any projects which are using the TEI to encode materials that have substantial graphical content as well as text, e.g. maps, diagrams, that sort of thing? I'm interested in ways of making explicit linkages between specific locations in a digitized image and specific chunks of text in the encoded transcription. Many thanks!

CFP: Digital Medievalism: Making the Old New Again, kzoo2005
by James Cummings 07 Sep '04

07 Sep '04

[Reminder] Call For Papers: Making the Old New Again: Digital Medievalism in an Ever-Changing World The Oxford Text Archive, University of Oxford, invites abstracts for 20 minute papers to be delivered in the above sponsored session at the 40th International Congress on Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University (May 5-8, 2005). Session Abstract: This session aims to bring together medievalists working with digital projects to discuss their experiences with the every-changing and evolving nature of these resources. As increasingly more electronic research tools are created and computing technology changes, making the old resources accessible in new contexts is often extremely challenging. What do you do when your campus upgrades to a new operating system and your 'Teach Yourself Old English' software no longer functions? How do you convert electronic manuscript editions from a couple decades ago into a format so they will work with new software? Other related issues which could be included in the session include: the re-purposing of older material to enable comparability in new resources, the transformation of legacy data into standards-compliant formats, the introduction of out-dated material into new online publishing frameworks, and the special challenges faced by medieval resource creation. It is hoped that this session will attract those with both negative and positive experience of data migration and resource creation, and allow them to share their experience to help medievalists work towards common goals of preservation of the digital medieval resources we already have and best practice in future resource creation. Please send abstracts (max. 500 words) for proposed papers with an even shorter summary c.v. to: James.Cummings(a)oucs.ox.ac.uk before 1 September 2004. Make sure to include complete contact information and AV requirements, and note that accepted participants must commit themselves to attend. For more information concerning this conference please see: http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/ Please feel free to circulate this call for papers to anyone you think might be interested. -James --- Dr James Cummings, Oxford Text Archive, University of Oxford James dot Cummings at oucs dot ox dot ac dot uk CALL FOR PAPERS: Digital Medievalism (Kalamazoo) and Early Drama (Leeds) see http://users.ox.ac.uk/~jamesc/cfp.html

[Fwd: English archives' MSS catalogues]

An interesting and useful looking site. -dan -------- Original Message -------- Subject: English archives' MSS catalogues Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 00:54:58 -0400 From: Juris G. Lidaka <lidaka(a)OSCAR.WVSTATEU.EDU> Reply-To: Medieval Texts - Philology Codicology and Technology <MEDTEXTL(a)listserv.uiuc.edu> To: MEDTEXTL(a)listserv.uiuc.edu In search of information about a manuscript held by the Society of Antiquaries of London, and having oddly not found a catalogue for it in a Big 10 research library yesterday, though I clearly recall having seen one somewhere, or at least having seen a reference to it, I googled and found this wonderful site: http://www.a2a.org.uk/ "Access to Archives" billing itself as "The English strand of the UK archives network." A catalogue entry--based on Ker's MMBL but going somewhat beyond it--was there, much to my joy. I share the information of this site with you. Though I prefer a catalogue in my lap, because I value browsing, this served the immediate need. Still, to quote our founder, we are getting there. -- Juris Juris G.

Forgot to add
by Daniel O'Donnell 25 Aug '04

25 Aug '04

I forgot to say that we want to make sure we leave space for comment on any form we make. I really thought Murray's comments on its strengths and weaknesses, and particularly areas for improvement were exactly the type of thing we want to get from referees. And just to make sure we're all clear: though we may continue with this idea of identifying *accepting* referees, these will only be the people who agree, and who have actually recommended final publication; all intermediate and negative comments will be anonymous unless the referee insists otherwise. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Department of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge Alberta T1K 3M4 Canada Tel: +1 (403) 329-2377 Fax: +1 (403) 382-7191 e-mail: daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca Web-Page: http://home.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell The Electronic Caedmon's Hymn: http://home.uleth.ca/~caedmon

[Fwd: Voynich MS article in Wired (TAN?)]

Apologies for cross posting. -dan -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Voynich MS article in Wired (TAN?) Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2004 10:07:02 -0400 From: Amy West <medievalist(a)W-STS.COM> Reply-To: Medieval Texts - Philology Codicology and Technology <MEDTEXTL(a)listserv.uiuc.edu> To: MEDTEXTL(a)listserv.uiuc.edu Sorry if this has already been mentioned, or if it's a bit too far afield: In the September 2004 issue of Wired there's an article (pp. 112, 114, 116, 121) on Gordon Rugg's de-bunking of the Voynich MS. The Wired article focuses on his methodology, not the MS, but it mentions his article on the MS in the journal _Cryptologia_ published earlier this year. I think medieval studies folks will be interested in the Wired article discussion of his method -- "the verifier approach" -- used for problem solving and examining "expertise gaps" as well as the article on the MS. ---Amy West -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Department of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge Alberta T1K 3M4 Canada Tel: +1 (403) 329-2377 Fax: +1 (403) 382-7191 e-mail: daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca Web-Page: http://home.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell The Electronic Caedmon's Hymn: http://home.uleth.ca/~caedmon
