Hi Luis, Fair enough! Thought best to point it out just in case it was something that had slipped by! Happy Halloween! (My skull-like Luche Libra mask has frightened many a small child this evening.)

Website bug.
by James Cummings 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

Hi Luis (CC'ing TEI-Council), I've just noticed that while on the TEI Website if I search for something. Let's say 'persName'. The URL is http://www.tei-c.org/?s=persName but this searches website-only content rather than including the Guidelines. Is this by design? Inherent limitation since the Guidelines are stored separately? There is a google site search on the generated Guidelines pages, e.g. http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/index.html which searches the Guidelines. … [View More]

Re: [Tei-council] policy on grouping element name

c.f. http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/AB.html#index-front.1_d… (Which btw is a horrible, presumably auto-created at some point, ID that we should change sometime.) Basically: "In TEI usage, a group is distinguished from a list in that the former associates several objects which act as a single entity, while the latter does not. For example, a linkGrp combines several link elements which have certain properties in common, whereas a listBibl simply lists a number of … [View More]

policy on grouping element name
by Syd Bauman 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Do we have a written policy on when a grouping elment for Xs is named <listX> vs <XGrp>? I think the policy should be that we use <listX> when the order of Xs does, or may, have significance; we use <XGrp> when the order of Xs does not, or should not, have significance. In alphabetic order by the part of the GI that says what is being contained, we have: * altGrp * listApp * listBibl * listChange * listEvent * listForest * gramGrp * interpGrp * joinGrp * … [View More]

Hi all, I've put a summary of the locations for testing of the various elements related to adding the object element (to provide descriptions of real or fictional objects) on the github issue at: https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues/327#issuecomment-433548949 with links to the reference pages, first draft of Guidelines prose (needs more work), etc. I made minor changes to some descriptions other elements (like physDesc or msContents) to include 'or other object' to make them usable for <… [View More]

Re: [Tei-council] Tokyo Per Diem
by James Cummings 26 Oct '18

26 Oct '18

Hi Syd, My recollection was that we used the 70% of the USA rate when in the USA and not externally because the rate often was misjudged outside... but it may be that I was entirely reversed on that recollection. Maybe it was the reverse. I honestly am not sure and haven't found any documentation on it. I've submitted mine already but happy to use whatever Hugh says is right. ;-) Many thanks, James -- Dr James Cummings, James.Cummings(a)newcastle.ac.uk School of English Literature, … [View More]
