[apologies for cross-posting] 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 Non-Commercial No Derivatives licence (see <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/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

Server temporarily down
by Daniel O'Donnell 18 Nov '06

18 Nov '06

Hello all, A quick note. The database server that powers our site has been down for maintenance since 8am. It is supposed to be back up at 12. I hadn't realised the DM site was affected by the shutdown (I'd thought the database for that site was on a different server) so I didn't take any steps to cover for the lost time. Sorry. -dan -- 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/
