November 16 Monthly Hangout--probably missing
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 07 Nov '18

07 Nov '18

Dear Council: I'm almost certainly going to miss the Council meeting on Friday November 16 due to a flight I'm taking to visit my old dissertation advisor in Maine that day. I'd tried to book it later in the evening but there weren't flights. I'd be arriving at a tiny airport in Rockland, Maine right around when the meeting starts, and with all the fuss of seeing an old mentor after more than a decade, I doubt I'm going to be able to join the Hangout. I'm bringing my headphones just in case it works out--there's a chance I could maybe join late. Sorry!

Re: [Tei-council] Reminder: Scheduling Spring F2F

Hi all, I got an email back from the person who controls the spaces on the nice university building right on the beach on the coast outside Newcastle closer to where I live. It is available those dates, but because it is in such demand they charge 250 GBP a day for it. So instead we'd have the meetings on campus (free meeting rooms but maybe not the same each day). We could still go out to the coast some evening for supper or something. Just in case that sways your vote to/from Newcastle.

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 otherwise unrelated bibl elements." And I've got a memory of it in some TCW explaining naming of elements somewhere else but couldn't find that in a quick search. -James -- Dr James Cummings, James.Cummings(a)newcastle.ac.uk School of English Literature, Language, and Linguistics, Newcastle University ________________________________ From: Tei-council <tei-council-bounces(a)lists.tei-c.org> on behalf of Syd Bauman <s.bauman(a)northeastern.edu> Sent: 30 October 2018 18:33:11 To: TEI Council Subject: [Tei-council] policy on grouping element name Do we have a written policy on when a grouping elment for Xs is named <listX> vs <XGrp>?
