Some member news

Hi all, I thought I'd pass on this interesting news item about one of our members. Apologies for the delay... it has been sitting on my to do list for a couple of days, but it has been one of those weeks. -dan > For Release: Jan. 9, 2007 > > Contact: Clayton Berry > Phone: (314) 977-7117 > E-mail: berrycl(a)slu.edu > > Theologians Use Video Game Technology to Create Virtual Tour of 13th > Century Basilica > Users can fly around structure and see famed frescoes up close > > ST. LOUIS -- Using technology typically associated with video games, > two Saint Louis University theologians have created an interactive, > three-dimensional tour of one of Europe's most important churches. > > Theology professors Jay Hammond, Ph.D., and James Ginther, Ph.D., > spent more than a year building the virtual version of Italy's > landmark Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi. Located two hours > northeast of Rome in Assisi, the basilica is the third-largest > pilgrimage site in the world, drawing more than 5 million visitors > annually. > > Their three-dimensional model permits virtual tour-goers to walk > nearly everywhere in the upper basilica, and even fly up close to the > church's famed frescoes and beautiful stained glass windows. > > That's in stark contrast to most other virtual tours of historic > buildings, which rely on 360-degree panoramas and offer limited > interactivity. While some other projects have been equally advanced, > the SLU professors' tour is one of the first to run on your home > computer. > > "That's why we chose a game engine to build our model," Ginther said. > "We wanted to ensure that the virtual basilica would run on the > average PC, not just expensive computers that only universities can > afford. Preservation has no meaning unless there is access." > > The virtual basilica uses controls and functions similar to the > popular video games, such as "Quake" and "Doom," sans the fighting of > course. > > "We're both educators, and we wanted this project to connect with > young people," Hammond said. > > Based on laser-accurate measurements of the basilica, the virtual tour > was built with approximately 4,000 photographs, all taken prior to a > 1997 earthquake that blew out two sides of the basilica. Because the > basilica's leaders do not replace artwork that has been destroyed, the > disc offers a version of the church that cannot be seen today, > including frescoes that are forever lost. > > The virtual tour is available on the newly released CD-ROM, "The > Virtual Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi," through the Institute of > Digital Theology, a non-profit foundation affiliated with Saint Louis > University. Proceeds will fund research, similar digital projects and > student scholarships. > > The CD-ROM also features maps of the basilica as well as guides for > the frescoes, which were painted by some of the leading artists of the > day. Users can click on any fresco to read about its historical and > religious significance. All told, the tour features 175 links for > additional information and a 35,000-word text. There also is an > animated friar for scale. > > The CD-ROM is designed for Windows 2000/NT/XP. It is available for > purchase on the institute's Web site, www.digitaltheology.org and > Amazon. > > With the upper level of the basilica complete, the SLU professors will > create similar virtual tours of the lower church, crypt and exterior > gardens. In June, the duo will break ground on another major project: > a virtual tour of York Minster in York, England, the largest Gothic > church in northern Europe. > > The Institute of Digital Theology is a registered non-profit > foundation, affiliated with Saint Louis University. Its mission is to > support research and teaching in theological studies and related > humanities disciplines through the creation of multimedia projects, > Web-based databases and other electronic resources. Housed in the > University's department of theological studies, the institute focuses > primarily on the preservation of historical artifacts and texts that > have significant religious or theological meaning. > > Saint Louis University is a Jesuit, Catholic university ranked among > the top research institutions in the nation.

TEI by example: CALL FOR EXAMPLES, revised
by TEI by example 14 Dec '06

14 Dec '06

All, [==============================] A fruitful discussion following our initial call for examples on the TEI-L mailing list (see the thread starting with <http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0612&L=tei-l&X=6FAA5839…>), informed us that the initially proposed license scheme for the tutorials was inadequate for our purposes. Therefore, we decided to adopt a more liberal Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike license (<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/>). In order to avoid confusion, here follows a revised call for examples: [==============================] The Centre for Scholarly Editing and Document Studies (CTB) <http://www.kantl.be/ctb/> of the Royal Academy of Dutch Language and Literature, the Centre for Computing in the Humanities (CCH) <http://www.kcl.ac.uk/humanities/cch/> of King's College London, and the School for Library, Archive, and Information Studies (SLAIS) <http://www.slais.ucl.ac.uk/> of University College London, are involved in the joint project "TEI by Example". Featuring freely available online tutorials walking individuals through the different stages in marking up a document in TEI (Text Encoding Initiative <http://www.tei-c.org>), these online tutorials will provide examples for users of all levels. Examples will be provided of different document types, with varying degrees in the granularity of markup, to provide a useful teaching and reference aid for those involved in the marking up of texts. Eight tutorial modules will address a wide range of issues in text encoding with TEI: 1. Introduction to text encoding with TEI 2. The TEI header 3. Prose 4. Poetry 5. Drama 6. Manuscript Transcription 7. Scholarly Editing 8. Customizing TEI, ODD, Roma To build as much as possible on available sources of existing practice in the field and to be able to present a broad view on the wide variety of encoding practices, we warmly welcome you to contribute TEI-encoded examples (either fragments or complete texts) that are applicable to any of these subjects. Examples are preferably encoded as TEI P5 XML texts, but also texts encoded in TEI P4 XML, other XML formats, or other (documented) electronic formats are of interest. Even examples of less-ideal encoding practices are welcome, since the idea of learning by error is a valuable didactic principle. Please do provide some indication of the errors or controversies in such examples when appropriate. After selection and editing, the example fragments will be incorporated in the freely available online deliverables, which will be issued under a Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike license (see <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/>). All contributors will be credited. The examples can be sent (preferably compressed in .zip format and with an indication of applicability and credits due) to teibyexample(a)kantl.be. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any inquiries regarding copyright issues or any more general issues. Kind regards, The project team: Ron Van den Branden, Melissa Terras, Edward Vanhoutte
