Take a look at the work of the Piers Plowman Electronic Archive and its parent organization, SEENET. Both were founded by Hoyt Duggan at UVa. Their websites: http://www.iath.virginia.edu/seenet/ and http://jefferson.village.virginia.edu/seenet/piers/ http://jefferson.village.virginia.edu/seenet/piers/ The first contains a listing of SEENET's TEI compliant DTD developed over the last 14 years. It's provision for marginalia elements is an important step. The PPEA site lists the group's Transcriptional Protocols hammered out over the same period first for SGML and now adopted for XML markup. SEENET and the PPEA remain active, publishing documentary editions in CD-ROM format.

Dear DM's
I looking for a bit of an update on current initiatives for encoding medieval MSS with TEI or XML, and being out of the loop of such things recently, I have been having trouble figuring out what is, actually, still current and active.
I've know of a few from past and recent work (TEI workgroup Medieval Manuscript Description, the MARC initiative, the MASTER program, and of course, EPT), but what ones (those and others) should be considered as still active and working -- leading the charge, if you will, towards the markup of medieval MSS?
Much thanks in advance,
Martin
