Subject: TEI call for participation
Call for Participation: Migrating TEI Resources to XML
The Text Encoding Initiative Consortium has been funded by the National
Endowment for the Humanities' Division of Preservation and Access to
conduct a two-year project to provide XML support in TEI. The first phase
of this project has been the production of P4, the XML-compliant revision
of the TEI Guidelines that will be published this spring. The second phase
will explore the issues involved in migrating large bodies of existing TEI
resources from SGML to XML. To do this, the TEI will convene a workgroup
in which selected experts and editors (8 people, total) will work closely
with representatives from projects with significant TEI SGML holdings
(another 10 people) to diagnose and document the problems, methods, and
tools necessary to design and effect a migration from SGML to XML, in
TEI. The workgroup will be funded (travel and expenses) for a one start-up
meeting with editors and experts only; one mid-term meeting with project
representatives; one final meeting with editors and experts; participation
by a technical writer for four months; participation by TEI editors and the
TEI executive director for two months; two one-day meetings for 8 people;
and one two-day meeting for 18 people.
The TEI Council will appoint the workgroup, and its chair, not later than
March 15th, 2002, but it would like to invite members of the SGML, XML, and
TEI communities to volunteer as participants in this project. If you wish
to volunteer, please contact
by Friday, February 28th, and identify yourself as a TEI expert, a data
migration expert, or a representative of a project with significant TEI
SGML holdings, and provide the Council with a brief account of your
qualifications.
