I am very pleased to announce that the program for the Symposium on Cultural Heritage Markup is now available: http://balisage.net/CulturalHeritage/symposiumProgram.html http://balisage.net/CulturalHeritage/symposiumProgram.html(the symposium will be followed by Balisage: The Markup Conference 2015 http://balisage.net/ http://balisage.net/)

All of the talks in some way address and grapple with the complexity of Cultural Heritage materials and the difficulties involved in applying standard markup solutions to them. A further call for short presentations meant to kick off long discussions will be forthcoming, so please be on the lookout!

Topics include: - dealing with document fragments and fragmentary annotations - aligning text to images and the character level - interoperable cross-references using TEI - converting metadata from legacy formats to web formats - representing and storing metadata for long-term use
