Fwd: Music in TEI SIG
by Dot Porter 10 Feb '08

Forwarded from TEI-L ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Raffaele Viglianti <raffaele.viglianti(a)kcl.ac.uk> Date: Feb 8, 2008 10:03 AM Subject: Music in TEI SIG To: TEI-L(a)listserv.brown.edu Dear all, a Special Interest Group for music encoding in TEI has been created. The goal of the SIG is to examine the current possibilities for encoding both the physical representation of music and the aural common elements between different notation systems, and to decide on a preliminary recommendation/agenda for music encoding in the TEI, whether directly via adoption of new elements or by importing a recommended namespace from an existing external schema. The discussion will deal with issues like: Encoding western music notation from all time periods, from ancient through modern. Encoding not only the music notation, but the aural aspects common to different notation systems. Encoding music and text together as well as music on its own. Everyone interested is welcome to participate to our mailing list: http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A0=TEI-MUSIC-SIG and to our wiki: http://www.tei-c.org/wiki/index.php/SIG:Music Best, Raffaele Viglianti -- Raffaele Viglianti Centre for Computing in the Humanities King's College London 26-29 Drury Lane London WC2B 5RL -- *************************************** Dot Porter, University of Kentucky ##### Program Coordinator Collaboratory for Research in Computing for Humanities http://www.rch.uky.edu Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments http://www.vis.uky.edu dporter(a)uky.edu 859-257-1257 x.82115 ***************************************

Early 20th century facsimile photography
by Dot Porter 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hello DM list, I sent the following message to the MedText Listserv and have received some good suggestions, but maybe there's someone here who can help, too. I don't know how much overlap there is between this list and that one, so I apologize in advance if you've already seen this. Not really a digital question, so I hope you'll forgive me. **************** I've been looking at a manuscript facsimile published in 1901. The introduction doesn't appear to include any information about the practice that was followed during photography (I'm taking someone else's word on this - I don't have the book, just images of the manuscript pages from the facsimile). However, from the images it appears that the manuscript was disbound prior to photography. In some of the images it appears that the pages (which are somewhat cockled in real-life) have been somehow flattened. One of my colleagues has theorized that the disbound pages may have been placed between sheets of glass (or under a sheet of glass) during photography; they haven't been held down in any visible way (fingers, or weights). I'm not really sure how I feel about this theory. Some of the pages don't actually look that flat to me, but I don't suppose the glass need have been heavy enough to flatten the pages completely. Does anyone on the list know anything about the practice of photographing mss in the late 19th/early 20th centuries? Or is there a book you can point me to? I've skimmed through A. W. Sijthoff's _Enterprise of the Codices Graeci et Latini_ (a fascinating read, available through GoogleBooks), but didn't see anything helpful there. For the curious, the manuscript I'm talking about is the Marcianus Graecus Z. 454 (= 822), aka Venetus A. Several different images of the manuscript (including new regular-light images, and scans of the facsimile) are available here: http://chs75.harvard.edu/manuscripts/index.html Thanks for any help, Dot -- *************************************** Dot Porter, University of Kentucky ##### Program Coordinator Collaboratory for Research in Computing for Humanities http://www.rch.uky.edu Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments http://www.vis.uky.edu dporter(a)uky.edu 859-257-1257 x.82115 ***************************************

[fwd] MASTER - The Review
by James Cummings 27 Jan '08

27 Jan '08

FYI, forwarded on behalf of Lou Burnard (lou.burnard(a)oucs.ox.ac.uk): [It occurs to us that there may be some members of these mailing lists who would also be interested in the following mailing, which we therefore forward with the usual apologies for any duplicated postings] Dear colleague, This email is being sent to you because we think you are or were interested in using the MASTER dtd for marking up manuscript descriptions. It's over ten years since Peter Robinson first organized a meeting at Studley Priory to discuss the possibility of developing an international standard for manuscript description. The work done by the MASTER project which followed that meeting established a preliminary and highly influential candidate for such a standard. In the last decade, the MASTER DTD or versions of it have been adopted by dozens of different manuscript cataloguing projects worldwide and the most recent version of the Text Encoding Initiatives P5 Guidelines is based upon it. The Manuscriptorium Project at the National Library of the Czech Republic (http://www.manuscriptorium.com/) is one of the largest European cataloguing projects based on the MASTER DTD. We are now working on defining a new TEI P5 conformant schema for this system and also in developing conversion tools for existing records collections to be migrated to the new schema. This work is being done as part of the ENRICH (European Networking Resources and Information concerning Cultural Heritage) project, funded by the EU eContentPlus programme. Part of the workplan involves a review of other MASTER-based systems, in an attempt to learn from their experiences, good or bad, in different contexts. We have set up a short online questionnaire for this purpose at http://tinyurl.com/yutq2r -- if you have ever used MASTER in some form, or simply considered using it, we very much hope you will be able to spare a little time to complete the questionnaire. It should not take you more than 10 minutes. We will be holding a special one day workshop to discuss the outcome of this survey at the University of Copenhagen at the end of February: if you would like to attend this meeting, please let us know. Please also feel free to pass this enquiry on to others you know of who might be interested. With best wishes, and thanks in advance for your input Lou Burnard (Oxford University) Matthew Driscoll (Copenhagen University)

TAN: Anybody have experience using rsynch to keep computers synched
by Herdsman Caedmon 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

Hi all, This is a bit of a tan, but I figure somebody may have experience with this. Currently I keep my office, home office, and notebook computer synched using an rsynch script that I run each time I log on and log out: what happens is that when I run the log-in script, I collect the files from my base computer (the one that is backed up) and when I run the log out script, I update the files on the base computer from whichevery one I am using. The problem is that sometimes I forget to run either one or the other of the scripts and I endup losing data: mostly this affects my locally archived mail. I was looking into rsynch further, and began to wonder if I used it with the -u option (this prevents rsych from over writing is the target file is newer) if I might not be able to set up a system where the remote computers rsynched to the base computer constantly (i.e. I would set up a cron job so that rysnch was run on the remote computer with the -u option every five minutes or hour or something similar). Has anybody tried anything like this? The trouble with rsynch always is that if you mess it up it starts knocking giant holes in your data. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Chair, Text Encoding Initiative <http://www.tei-c.org/> Director, Digital Medievalist Project <http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/> Associate Professor and Chair of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Vox: +1 403 329 2378 Fax: +1 403 382-7191 Homepage: http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/

Call for Nominations: TEI-C Council Chair
by Dan O'Donnell 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

SECOND CALL -- Apologies for cross posting Christian Wittern, who has served so ably as TEI Council Chair since 2003 stepped down at the end of his third term on December 31st, 2007. To assist it in its deliberations, the TEI Board is seeking nominations (including self-nominations) for candidates to replace Professor Wittern in this important post. Nominees need not be members of the TEI, its Board, or Council. The successful candidate will be appointed to both the Board and Council for an initial term of two years. As an officer of the Consortium, the Council Chair is not remunerated. The Council is assigned a significant budget for travel and other costs including technical support and editorial assistance, however. The Council Chair is responsible for directing the activities of the Council and its workgroups. This involves maintaining and developing the Guidelines and proposing and assisting in the development of training documents and tutorials, technical services, and collaborations between the TEI and other organisations. In keeping with the emphasis of the 2007 Members' Meeting, the board is particularly interested in candidates who share the Board's interest in improving the Consortium's work on outreach, education, and collaboration. The Board intends to appoint a replacement for Professor Wittern within the next six weeks. Nominations should be directed to the Executive Secretary, Chris Ruotolo (ruotolo(a)virginia.edu), no later than 1200 UTC on January 11, 2008. For further information, please feel free to contact the Consortium Chair, Daniel Paul O'Donnell (daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca) or any member of the Consortium Board (see http://www.tei-c.org/About/board.xml for a list with contact addresses). -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Department Chair and Associate Professor of English Director, Digital Medievalist Project http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/ Chair, Text Encoding Initiative http://www.tei-c.org/ Department of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Vox +1 403 329-2377 Fax +1 403 382-7191 Email: daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca WWW: http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/
