Lou Burnard posted a nibbler ranking of tei-c.org on tei-l. So I thought
I'd run DM. Some issues appeared, but I did like discovering that we are
5,169,396th most popular in the world and that "This website recently
saw a significant increase in popularity."

Have a look at the arts-humanities.net catalogue of digital research
projects at http://www.arts-humanities.net/project
You will find several hundred records on projects with digital outputs
here, including a list of projects that have used TEI:

Dear all,
I have a quick question about TEI encoding. Actually it is a request for
help. We at Croatian Center for Digital Humanities are working (among other)
on digital representation of Croatian medieval chronicles (in Latin and
Croatian) from 14th and 15th century. What we need is simply examples of
similar projects in the world so that we can learn from them. Any help in
pointing us to the right direction is most welcome and I thank you in
advance.
P.S. Some of the project links on TEI web are dead so I am asking you
directly through this lists
Sincerely,
Daniel Mondekar

The University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce the launch
of the new Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts. Since early November, a new
search interface has been available in beta version for testing. Thanks to
feedback from users, we have been able to revise and upgrade search
functionality to offer users a more flexible, powerful, and accurate search.
The revised <http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/schoenberg> Schoenberg
Database of Manuscripts is now available through the Penn Libraries' Digital
Library Architecture. The new search interface features:
* Faceted searching on over 25 fields
* Greater search flexibility with multi-field keyword and numeric
range advanced searching
* Comprehensive browse lists for sellers, collections, catalogues,
authors, titles, provenance, and more
* Revised transaction and bibliographic data for auction, sales, and
institutional catalogues
* Plus, the same commitment to providing the most accurate available
data on manuscripts produced before 1600
To access the website, click on the link above or go to:
<http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/schoenberg>
http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/schoenberg . Please send comments or
questions to Lynn Ransom (lransom(a)pobox.upenn.edu).
The Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts makes available data on medieval
manuscript books of five or more folios produced before 1600 in order to
facilitate research for scholars, collectors, and others interested in
manuscript studies and the provenance of these unique books. Drawn from
auction and sales catalogues, inventories, catalogues from institutional and
private collections, and other sources that document sales and locations of
manuscript books, the records assist in locating and identifying particular
manuscripts, establishing provenance, and aggregating descriptive
information about specific classes or types of manuscripts. It was begun in
1997 by Penn Libraries Overseer Lawrence J. Schoenberg
<http://www.library.upenn.edu/portal/Schoenberg/about.html> (C'53, WG'56).
In 2007, he entrusted the Penn Libraries with its maintenance and
development. The database now contains over 160,000 searchable records and
continues to grow on a daily basis.

NETWORKED HUMANITIES: ART HISTORY IN THE WEB
ESF-COST High-Level Research Conference
Acquafredda di Maratea, Italy, 9-14 October 2010
http://www.esf.org/conferences/10342
Chair: Hubertus Kohle - Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Deutsches Historisches Institut DE
Programme Committee: Claudine Moulin, Trier University, DE & Lea Rojola, University of Turku, FI
Since the earliest times, new technologies have contributed to profound scientific advances and have transformed the ways we can do research. It is claimed today that the World Wide Web offers revolutionary models of scientific cooperation, which promise to instantiate a utopian democracy of knowledge. This claim has repeatedly been associated with the development and introduction of a collaborative Web, commonly referred to as 'Web 2.0' as well as its offspring, a semantically enriched Web 3.0 still in the making The aim of this conference is to bring together art historians and other researchers (including digital humanists) in order to investigate the intersection between the web and collaborative research processes, via an examination of electronic media-based cooperative models in the history of art and beyond.
The conference will not only be an occasion to exchange ideas and present relevant projects in the field, but,with contributions spanning from art history (and digital art) to philosophy and cultural studies, from psychology and sociology of knowledge to computer graphics, from semiotics to curatorial practices it will offer a unique forum for the representation of both diversified and complementary approaches to the topic of Networked humanities.
Conference format:
* lectures by invited high level speakers
* short talks by young & early stage researchers
* poster sessions, round table and open discussion periods
* forward look panel discussion about future developments
Invited Speakers will include:
* Patrick Danowski, CERN Geneva, CH
* Matteo d'Alfonso, Università di Bologna, IT
* Francesca Gallo, University of Rome "La Sapienza", IT
* Charlie Gere, University of Lancaster, UK
* Gudrun Gersmann, German Historical Institute Paris, FR
