Subject: CHWP paper on Eye-Con Tact
>> From: Russon Wooldridge <wulfric@chass.utoronto.ca>
Computing in the Humanities Working Papers (CHWP) is pleased to announce
the publication of a paper on the desiderata of text-analysis tools,
"Eye-Con Tact", by Geoffrey Rockwell and John Bradley.
"Anyone who has used a text-analysis tool like TACT has at
some point been frustrated by its limitations and wished that a
feature or two could be added. In 1992 we set out to imagine
a text-analysis environment which would not only have the
features we desired, but could be extended continually as our
research evolved. This paper describes the limitations of
current tools, possible solutions to these limitations, and the
design philosophy behind Eye-ConTact, a prototype of a
visual programming environment suited for text manipulation." (Abstract)
CHWP is at http://www.chass.utoronto.ca:8080/epc/chwp/ and

Les Computing in the Humanities Working Papers (CHWP) ont le plaisir
d'annoncer la publication d'un article sur les desiderata des logiciels
d'analyse textuelle, "Eye-Con Tact", de Geoffrey Rockwell et John Bradley.
"Tout utilisateur d'un systeme d'analyse de texte comme TACT
bute inevitablement a ses limites et vient a regretter que
certaines fonctions ne puissent pas etre ajoutees. En 1992
nous nous sommes donne pour but d'imaginer un
environnement pour l'analyse des textes ayant certains attributs
que nous recherchions, mais egalement concu pour etre
continuellement renove au fur et a mesure qu'evoluait notre
recherche. Cet article decrit les limites des outils disponibles a
l'heure actuelle, les remedes possibles a ces limites et la
philosophie conceptuelle de Eye-ConTact, le prototype d'un
environnement de programmation visuelle concue pour la
manipulation des textes." (Resume) [nota: l'original porte tous les accents
comme il faut!]

Subject: Italian translation of TEI U5 and encoded Italian texts available on the Web.
Italian translation of "TEI Lite. Introduction to Text Encoding for
Interchange" and encoded Italian texts available on the Web.
[Apologies for cross posting]
The CRILet, Centro Ricerche Informatica e Letteratura [Literature and
Computing Research Centre], is pleased to announce the publication of
the Italian translation of TEI document n. TEI U5, "TEI Lite.
Introduction to Text Encoding for Interchange".
The document is available in HTML format both from CRILet Web site
http://rmcisadu.let.uniroma1.it/crilet/sgml/sgml.htm and
http://crilet.let.uniroma1.it/sgml/sgml.htm] and from official TEI Web
Site [http://www.uiuc.edu/orgs/tei].
Beside the publication of the TEI Lite guidelines, CRILet has started
as an experimental project the publication on the Web of some texts of
the Italian literary tradition encoded according to TEI P3 or TEI Lite
DTD.
The texts are available on the CRILet Web site (at the same address
given before) and are browsable on-line with the help of an SGML
browser like Softquad Panorama. One or more stylesheets and navigators
are associated with each text.
Given the experimental nature of the project, CRILet is pleased to
receive comments, advice or contributions in any form from interested
scholars.
