by O'Donnell, Dan 27 May '07

27 May '07

This is a very technical conference, however it will be of interest to some on this list. Members and subscribers of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) are entitled to a discount on the registration. -dan -----Original Message----- From: TEI Overlapping Markup SIG discussion list on behalf of Syd Bauman Sent: Sun 27/05/2007 6:40 AM To: TEI-OL-SIG(a)listserv.brown.edu Subject: Extreme pre-conference workshop on overlap What: International Workshop on Markup of Overlapping Structures XML and SGML have revolutionized the representation of structured information, but not all information structures map easily into systems of hierarchically nested elements. Markup of overlapping structures is a perennially hot topic, reinvented and reimagined as often as it is solved. This full-day workshop will bring together the proponents of some of the major proposals for markup, representation, extraction, display, and validation of semantic overlap to summarize the systems they are developing and discuss topics of common interest. A morning of formal presentations will be followed by an afternoon of free-ranging discussion. When: Monday, 06 August 2007 the day before Extreme Markup Languages 2007, "The Markup Theory and Practice Conference" Where: Hotel Europa, Montreal, Canada (the Extreme hotel) Details: http://www.extrememarkup.com/extreme/overlap/ Confirmed speakers and topics include: * Alexander Dekhtyar, California Polytechnic State University, on the Concurrent XML and the ARCHway Project * Steven DeRose, National Center for Biotechnology Information (National Institutes of Health), on Trojan Markup and other empty-element techniques * Patrick Durusau, Snowfall Software, on Topic Mapping overlap * Wendell Piez, Mulberry Technologies, on LMNL (Layered Markup and Annotation Language) * C. M. Sperberg-McQueen, World Wide Web Consortium, on TexMecs and Goddag structures * Andreas Witt, University of Tubingen, on Multiple Annotations and XConcur Registration fee: $125 per person; there is a 20% discount for TEI-C members and subscribers, as well as for members of IDEAlliance, OASIS, SC34, & W3C, and for full-time academics & government employees) Registration and updated information at http://www.extrememarkup.com/extreme/overlap/index.html There's Nothing so Theoretical as a Good Practice

Call for Bids: TEI Members Meeting, Fall 2008.
by Herdsman Caedmon 08 May '07

08 May '07

Call for Bids: TEI Members Meeting, 2008 Deadline: August 1, 2008 The annual TEI Members' Meeting takes place every year in October or November. We are now seeking bids to host this event in 2008. The meeting this year (2007) will take place on October 31-November 3 at the University of Maryland in College Park, MD (USA). The previous meetings have been: * Victoria, Canada, October 27-28, 2006. Hosted by the University of Victoria. * Sophia, Bulgaria, October 28-29, 2005. Hosted by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. * Baltimore, USA, October 22-23, 2004. Hosted by Johns Hopkins University. * Nancy, France, November 7-8 2003. Hosted by ATILF. * Chicago, USA, October 11-12 2002. Hosted by the Newberry Library and * Northwestern University. * Pisa, Italy, November 16-17 2001. Hosted by the University of Pisa. The site of the meeting has typically alternated between Europe and North America, but that is not a fixed rule. We welcome proposals from other parts of the world, and in particular from areas where new TEI communities are arising. This year's meeting will be a three-day event, with approximately 70-100 attendees. The first and second day will involve plenary lectures by invited speakers, round-table discussions, and conference-style session. The third day will be a closed session, restricted to TEI members and subscribers only, which includes reports on the TEI's work and the annual elections for the TEI Board and Council. Meetings of TEI Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are also scheduled for this day. Future meetings should assume roughly this shape, although there is considerable room for local initiative in consultation with the Board. The TEI Consortium covers the direct costs in connection with the meeting. As the TEI is an organisation with limited financial resources, and any contribution from the host is very welcome. Bids should be sent to info(a)tei-c.org by August 1, 2008, and should include the following information: * The name of the institution(s) making the bid * The name, address, email, and telephone number of the contact person * A brief description of the facilities available for the event (rooms, equipment, technical support, food) * An indication of what financial support, if any, the hosting institution is prepared to give (for instance, sponsoring one or more receptions or pre-meeting workshops; payment of travel expenses for one or more plenary speakers; etc.) * Any other details that may be useful in assessing the bid (e.g. the presence of a conference on a related topic at the institution around the time of the meeting; the launch of a new TEI-related initiative at the institution, etc.). All bids will be reviewed by the TEI board, which makes the final decision. Thank you very much!
