MSS and transcriptions online
by Yin Liu 18 Feb '05

18 Feb '05

Meg Cormack and others: You may wish to consider the following: The Auchinleck MS website, at http://www.nls.uk/auchinleck/ A snippet of Lydgate, at http://web.uvic.ca/hrd/lydgate/ (a pilot XML project at the University of Victoria) The EETS pilot project (part of the Ancrene Wisse), at http://www.tei-c.org/Projects/EETS/ The Charrette Project, at http://www.princeton.edu/~lancelot/ <http://www.princeton.edu/%7Elancelot/> (if your students want something in French) All provide MS images and transcriptions. The EETS Ancrene Wisse also provides a translation. Translations of some material from the Auchinleck MS are readily available in print. There is a good on-line paleography course at http://www.medieval.unimelb.edu.au/ductus/ You may also wish to investigate some CD editions, e.g. Murray McGillivray's _Hypertext Book of the Duchess_ (University of Calgary Press) or Gerrit Bunt's _William of Palerne_ (SEENET). Hope some of that is helpful. I would be interested to know of other similar sites.

RE: [dm-l] Fwd: FW: [NEDBIB-L] Call for papers AHC 2005, Amsterdam, the Netherlan

Dear list members, I´m not sure if this is the right forum for such a query, but I´m sure you will know if anyone does! I´ve found lots of on-line resources with illutrations and descriptions of manuscripts. I´d like to find an example which I could use to illustrate, for the same text, 1) the manuscript itself 2) a diplomatic transcription 3) a normalized transcription and (if possible) 4) a translation. The point is to illustrate the various possibilities to students who may not have thought about manuscripts. It strikes me that this sort of information is more likely to be on a "teaching" website (in paleography, perhaps?) than anywhere else. Any suggestions where I should start looking would be greatly appreciated!

Weird windows problem
by Daniel O'Donnell 11 Feb '05

11 Feb '05

Hello all, I'm having a weird windows problem I wonder if anybody knows anything about: all of a sudden programs that work from the dos prompt at having difficulty with long file and folder names. I.e. when I try to write to the directory "My Documents" (actually c:\Documents and Settings\Dan\My Documents), the files actually get written to a separate directory, c:\Documents%20and%20Settings\Dan\My%20Documents which appears along side the other in the file tree. The contents of this new directory to not map onto the "My Documents" directory. They are separate. This problem has arisen in the last week or so, and it is affecting bat files that were working fine until recently. Here's an example of the syntax I've been using: cd\saxon6_5_3 java -jar saxon.jar -o "c:/documents and settings/dan/my documents/_filing cabinet/dm2/3.revised/name/name.htm" "c:/documents and settings/dan/my documents/_filing cabinet/dm2/3.revised/name/name.xml" "c:/documents and settings/dan/my documents/_filing cabinet/dm2/xslt/dm1file2.xsl" cd\ I've looked for help but not seen anything relevant. Any suggestions? -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel. (403) 329-2377 Fax.

[Fwd: DRH2005 -- Digital Resources for the Humanities 2005 CFP]
by James Cummings 31 Jan '05

FYI -------- Original Message -------- Subject: DRH2005 -- Digital Resources for the Humanities 2005 CFP Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2005 22:57:40 +0000 From: Michael Fraser <mike.fraser(a)computing-services.oxford.ac.uk> Reply-To: mike.fraser(a)computing-services.oxford.ac.uk To: TEI-L(a)LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU **** First Announcement and call for proposals: DRH 2005 **** DRH 2005: Digital Resources for the Humanities University of Lancaster, UK 4th - 8th September 2005 IMPORTANT DATES: * 31st January 2005: proposals can be submitted via the electronic submission form at the conference website. * 28th February, 2005: Deadline for submission of abstracts * 15th April, 2005: Notification of acceptance of papers, sessions, posters and workshops * April 2005: Registration opens * May 2005: Provisional programme announced. Conference Web Site: http://www.drh.org.uk The DRH conferences have established themselves firmly in the UK and international calendar as a major forum bringing together scholars, postgraduate students, librarians, archivists, curators, information scientists and computing professionals in a unique and positive way, to share ideas and information about the creation, exploitation, use, management and preservation of digital resources in the arts and humanities. At this, the tenth DRH conference, we plan to encourage papers and sessions that focus on critical evaluation of the use of digital resources in the arts and humanities. What has the impact really been? What kinds of methodologies are being used? What are the assumptions that underlie our work? How do we know that the work that we accomplish is truly new and innovative? How does technology change the way that we work? The Conference will also address some of the key emerging themes and strategic issues that engagement with ICT is bringing to scholarly research in the arts and humanities, with a particular focus on advanced research methods. The kinds of questions that we would like to see addressed might include the following: what sort of research does ICT in the arts and humanities enable researchers to do that could not be done before at all? Does this enable 'old' research to be done in a significantly new way? In what ways does the technology serve the scholarship? Similarly, what are the key aspects of virtual research environments ("cyberinfrasture") which can facilitate collaborative research? Proposals for individual papers, sessions, workshops and posters are invited, and the abstract submission system at the conference website will be accepting proposals from January 31st, 2005. Types of presentation for which proposals are invited: Papers Proposals for papers should be no less than 750 words. Papers will be allocated 30 minutes for presentation, including questions. Sessions Sessions (90 minutes) take the form of either: Three papers. The session organizer should submit a 500-word statement describing the proposed session topic, and include abstracts of no less than 750 words for each paper. The session organizer must also indicate that each author is willing to participate in the session; or A panel of four to six speakers. The panel organizer should submit an abstract of 750-1500 words describing the panel topic, how it will be organized, the names of all the speakers, and an indication that each speaker is willing to participate in the session. Poster Presentations Poster presentations may include computer technology and project demonstrations. Posters presentations may be a more suitable way of presenting late-breaking results, or significant work in progress. There should be no difference in quality between poster presentations and papers, and both will be submitted to the same refereeing process. As an acknowledgement of the special contribution of the posters to the conference, the Programme Committee will once again award a prize for the best poster presentation. The Local Organising Committee is headed by Tony McEnery and Andrew Hardie, Department of Linguistics and English Language, University of Lancaster. Please contact the local organizers with any questions about registration or conference arrangements at Lancaster: drhconf(a)lancaster.ac.uk The chair of the Programme Committee is Lorna Hughes, Assistant Director for Humanities Computing, New York University. Please contact the Programme Chair with any questions about submitting abstracts, or about the reviewing process: (Lorna.Hughes(a)nyu.edu). Please visit http://www.drh.org.uk for regularly updated details about the conference and, for information on how to submit proposals. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Dr James Cummings, Oxford Text Archive, University of Oxford James dot Cummings at oucs dot ox dot ac dot uk

RE: [dm-l] Form-based methods of building xml?
by Peter.Binkley＠ualberta.ca 14 Jan '05

14 Jan '05

I use Cocoon a lot, and for a particular project I've built a system similar to what you describe. I run an instance of Cocoon on my laptop, which serves out html forms to my browser, populated with info from a particular xml file. When I submit a form, another pipeline writes the results back to the original XML file, using the Source Writing Transformer (http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/transformers/sourcewriting-transf ormer.html). This allows me to use the amazing power of Cocoon Forms to manage the mapping from the source xml to the form and back again (http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/forms/sample.html). It would probably be overkill to pick up Cocoon from scratch for this purpose, but maybe you've been looking for an opportunity to try Cocoon?

Form-based methods of building xml?
by Daniel O'Donnell 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

Hi all, Does anybody know of a good method for form-based xml-file construction? I am looking for something to use on a local (winxp) machine. Like most people I have a number of files that are written either through accretion (e.g. like a CV) or that consist largely of boiler plate with minor customisation (e.g. class schedules, web-pages, etc.). I'm in the process of converting these to xml from various formats, as I hope to gain some real efficiencies. My question whether anybody can suggest a good method for adding marked up text to such files using a form. The CV is probably the best case: I'd like to have a form that allows me to read in the existing material, enter the new item, and have the expanded document as output. In the past I've used javascript and HTML forms to build standard webpages, and emacs form-mode to build simple form-based database entry mechanisms. Since I'm basically looking for a very simple way of adding markup to highly standard text, I'm trying to avoid using a spreadsheet as an intermediate. In fact I'm probably looking for a combination of the emacs-style forms (which import or create datafiles and allow users to easily update existing data) and a java-script type solution that allows me to add markup around form-field contents. Any suggestions? -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel. (403) 329-2377 Fax.
