Junicode 0.6.14 released
by Peter Baker 07 Jun '07

07 Jun '07

This last release in the Junicode 0.6 series contains all MUFI (Medieval Unicode Font Initiative) alphabetic characters (some diacritics, suspensions and other symbols will be added in 0.7). It also adds OpenType features especially to support MUFI: enlarged minuscules, overlines with roman numbers, underdotted (deleted) text, and an alternative shape of yogh can all be produced via Style Sets. Support for diacritics via ccmp, mark and mkmk has been expanded, and support for MUFI ligatures via hlig (Historical Ligatures) has also been expanded. See the documentation for recommendations concerning MUFI characters. Junicode is available at http://junicode.sourceforge.net. Peter Baker

Digital infrastructure and the Homer Multitext (DC seminar)
by Gabriel Bodard 05 Jun '07

05 Jun '07

(With apologies for crossposting: I am sure that both the manuscript examples and the protocols/technologies discussed in this paper will be of great interest to DMists who find themselves anywhere near London this week.) Digital Classicist/Institute of Classical Studies Work in Progress Seminar, Summer 2007 Friday 8th June at 16:30, in room NG16, Senate House, Malet Street, London Neel Smith (College of the Holy Cross, MA) 'Digital infrastructure and the Homer Multitext' ALL WELCOME The Homer Multitext project is creating digital resources for studying the Iliad as a textual tradition, including full TEI texts of six MSS, texts of associated scholia, and new photography of some MSS. This talk will survey the technological framework for the Multitext project, and will especially emphasize a tiered design using stable reference schemes (CTS URNs for text passages, and identifiers with data namespaces for objects) in conjunction with defined service protocols (Canonical Text Services, or CTS, for text retrieval, and Collection services for structured information about objects such as manuscripts). The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.

FYI. An excellent conference indeed. Even if you are not a subscriber or member of the TEI (and at $75, why aren't you ;), you might be able to get an academic discount. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Director, Digital Medievalist Project http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/ Associate Professor and Chair, Department of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Canada Vox: +1 403 329-2378 Fax: +1 403 382-7191
