issues
by Lou Burnard 15 Sep '25

I'm lost in admiration at the way Council is ploughing/plowing through all these ancient tickets! I do hope though you'll find time to advance a couple of issues which are holding up dracorisation of my lovely victorian plays : in particular nested spGrp (#2695) and actor@perf (#2724) -- these modest proposals have both been approved by someone other than me now, so why not make an old man happy and fit them in the next release?

Upcoming TEI Release: Refridge to Freeze
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 11 Aug '25

11 Aug '25

Dear TEI Technical Council, Welcome to the week of a TEI Release! We have a release scheduled this week on August 15, with great thanks to our release technicians, Helena, Elli, Trish, with Joey as our Pacific Rim monitor. Note that there's a TEI Council meeting conveniently scheduled tomorrow in the middle of our release week, and I suspect it may be helpful for us. :-) The meeting will be from 10:30–12:00 PDT | 13:30–15:00 EDT | 18:30–20:00 UTC | 19:30–21:00 CET * at our usual Zoom: https://psu.zoom.us/j/98850059066?pwd=UzhBL2NFc1lweWYzS2xZd2dqYVZpdz09 Meeting ID: 988 5005 9066 password: tei We will definitely need to reschedule our Council meeting times, so I'll circulate a calendar poll very shortly. As for the release(!): we have been in a state of refrigeration for the preceding week, and very shortly we transition to freeze. Technically we should be in a freeze today, but a few of us may be working (heatedly) on some tickets that we want to include in this release. For all of us, it will help us greatly if you can check the tickets assigned to you on GitHub for TEI and Stylesheets and punt some of them to the next release milestone (TEI 4.11 or Stylesheets 7.60) or finish up work expeditiously on anything nearly ready for the 4.10 / 7.59 release milestones this week. Thanks, and see you on Slack!

Block Discount for Council: TEI 2025 Hotel Reservation
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 25 Jun '25

25 Jun '25

Hi, Council! Jan Rybicki has kindly arranged a block of rooms in an attempt to find Council a good rate for lodging during the TEI 2025 Council F2F and conference. Here are the details from Jan: Liebeskind Hotel https://www.liebeskindhotel.pl/en - Code: *UJSEPT2025* - Valid until 13.08 - Rates: - single occupancy 350 PLN / night with breakfast - double occupancy 450 PLN / night with breakfast Caveat: I just tried to use the discount code he provided and it didn't work for me (so I've written to let him know / ask for help). If it works for you, please let us know! I tried to post this message last night but it bounced due to the size of the message being over 40K (and I believe that's because I tried to forward details directly from an email chain between Jan and the hotel). So it's possible you'll see my previous messages later if Hugh approves them. (Hugh, you probably don't have to do that now.) :-) Cheers, Elisa -- Elisa Beshero-Bondar, PhD TEI Technical Council Chair Program Chair of Digital Media, Arts, and Technology | Professor of Digital Humanities | Director of the Digital Humanities Lab at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College Development site: https://newtfire.org

Fwd: please drop simplePrint or correct its embarrassing description.
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 15 May '25

15 May '25

Dear Council, Martin Mueller sends this request about simplePrint. I wonder which of these options is more sensible. I think I’m persuaded that we should drop it now and replace it with the TEI Publisher ODD, but perhaps we can discuss at the VF2F. Elisa Elisa Beshero-Bondar, PhD (she/they) Chair, TEI Technical Council Program Chair of Digital Media, Arts, and Technology | Professor of Digital Humanities | Director of the Digital Humanities Lab at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College Typeset by hand on my iPhone Begin forwarded message: > From: Martin Mueller <martinmueller(a)northwestern.edu> > Date: May 15, 2025 at 2:27:11 PM EDT > To: Elisa Beshero-Bondar <ebbondar(a)gmail.com> > Subject: please drop simplePrint or correct its embarrassing description. > > > Dear Elisa, > > I have on several occasions complained (without success) about the embarrassing description of TEI simplePrint. My name appears at the top of the current introduction. > > The description is oddly condescending and in some instances plain wrong. In retrospect, I think it was a mistake to associate the Processing Model with a particular schema. Since the Processing Model is alive and well in EI Publisher, the best thing would be to drop this particular customization and replace it with TEI Publisher Base > > If that can’t be done—and I don’t see any reason why it couldn’t be done—it should at least be possible to correct gross inaccuracies. > > In the first of the four summary points, the distinction between print and manuscript is misleading. There are manuscript pages that could be easily encoded with simplePrint, and there are aspects of typography or layout on a printed page that you could not do with this tag set. The relevant criteria are the complexity of the page design and the degree to which you would want to capture its “materiality”. > > In the second point, “Early Modern” is defined as “up to the end of the nineteenth century”. The conventional limits of the term are roughly from the 1400’s to 1800. I am not aware of any features that can be encoded in simplePrint but are rarely found in modern materials. > > In the third point the reference to “Western European” is plain wrong. As long as the text can be represented in combinations of Unicode, you could use simplePrint as long as the document structure is supported. Homer, the Hebrew Bible, and Anna Karenina are not exactly “Western European” texts. > > The condescending tone of the document is most pronounced in the final point, which seems to assume that “specialist research” is measured by the degree of attention to the way in which the text was printed. There are highly specialized forms of inquiry that do not give a hoot about the ways in which pages are laid out and pages are printed as long as the words appear in the right order and in a spelling that makes their meaning apparent. > > To conclude with my initial point, the best solution would be to quietly drop simplePrint and replace it with TEI Publisher’s Base ODD. For its first couple of years TEI Publisher followed simplePrint and added its own Base version, which was marginally different. I suggested to Magdalena that TEI Publisher should should drop simplePrint and start with Base. What ever was useful about simplePrint survives in TEI Publisher Base without any of the very dubious rhetoric of simplePrint. > > Best > > MM > > Martin Mueller > Professor emeritus of English and Classics > Northwestern University >

Reminder: Council teleconference later today (Tues. March 18)
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 18 Mar '25

18 Mar '25

Hi Council! Just a reminder and also an alert about our March Council call for today, Tuesday March 18. I needed to move this to today because I was in Japan last week. But also, our time zones are a bit out of alignment, with those in continental Europe holding to the same time as usual, but the rest of us being pitched one hour later due to the strangeness of daylight saving time. Meeting times: *11:30–13:00 PDT | 14:30–16:00 EDT | 18:30–20:00 UTC* | 19:30–21:00 CET Here’s our Google Docs agenda with the Zoom link <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SJyerfT5RbJ28zLkyZSllvz5doAsGUkfUfrUmNj…> (same Zoom as usual). Please add your topics and move things around as needed! Thanks everyone! Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Council Meeting Postponed to Tuesday March 18
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 09 Mar '25

09 Mar '25

Dear Council, Greetings from Japan! I'm in Kyushu today (Monday March 10), on invitation of Kiyonori Nagasaki, to speak about the TEI at Fukuoka University, and I won't be back home until the end of this week. We spoke about this on Slack, but I just wanted to make sure we formalized the arrangement. We will plan to hold the monthly Council call next week on Tuesday March 18. It will be at the same time as usual for the Europeans, but for the Americans, we're starting "Daylight Savings Time" and the meeting time for us will be one hour later: 11:30–12:30 PST | 14:30–16:00 EST | 17:30–19:00 UTC | 19:30–21:00 CEST (*Please triple-check me on this*, but I believe Daylight Savings Time just began in Canada and the US. The meeting time is set for UTC and CEST to remain the same!) We're about to have the ISO on our agenda, by the way, and I'll send a longer message soon about that. Thanks, everyone!

What is a base ODD?
by Martin Holmes 13 Feb '25

13 Feb '25

Hi all, The ATOP group has been grappling with the issue of ODD chaining, and in particular, how to determine, starting from a customization ODD to process and following its chain of precursors, how to know when you reach a base ODD and don't have to go any further. This is easy if the ultimate base ODD is p5subset, and that is indeed the default. However, it's perfectly possible that you don't want anything at all from P5, you just want to customize a base ODD that you've already created. One obvious sign of a base ODD is that there is no <schemaSpec> element -- which is the case for p5subset -- but we know that many base ODDs in the wild DO have a `<schemaSpec>` element, and it also seems intuitive that if you're creating a schema specification, you should use a `<schemaSpec>` element. So we've arrived at a definition of a base ODD, which we believe is testable; it goes like this (adapted from our meeting notes): EITHER the ODD has no `<schemaSpec>` element, OR it has a <schemaSpec> with no `@source` (meaning that the source would default to p5subset), BUT there are no `<*Ref>` children of that `<schemaSpec>` invoking content from p5subset so there is no need to retrieve it. This is based on the assumption that if you use any `<*Ref>` element at the base level (i.e. as a direct child of `<schemaSpec>`), that constitutes a call to retrieve something from p5subset; but any such `<*Ref>` at a lower level must be referring to what is already in the schema (either because it's locally defined, or because it was brought in by a top-level `<moduleRef>`, `<elementRef>`, etc.). So my question is: does all this make sense to you all? If so, and we proceed on this basis, then P5 could probably use some more explanation of what a base ODD is, and how it fits into the chaining process. I should also say that current approaches to ODD chaining with the current Stylesheets involve pre-compiling any ODD which is earlier in the chain, so that it constitutes a .processedodd file (see <https://teic.github.io/PDF/howtoChain.pdf> section 4), but we would like ATOP to be able to do all that automatically, so that all you do is specify the source for your customization, and the processor can construct the entire chain and compile everything in sequence.

But we are expecting you definitely to join us in January, so we would like to be sure you are involved in planning our meeting dates and times for January onward! Here is the Zoom link <https://psu.zoom.us/j/98850059066?pwd=UzhBL2NFc1lweWYzS2xZd2dqYVZpdz09>, and the agenda <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RPfeW1O5-0_YHyZIrn3XHnx_j72EBIkopHkTdhR…>. (Please add anything I've missed!) Would each of you please be sure to fill out *this calendar poll for our meetings in 2025* <https://www.when2meet.com/?27760226-aoTLT>? I hope that we can decide this at the meeting today and set these in the calendar. The poll should automatically adjust for your time zone. I think we may be able to schedule our Council monthly teleconference meeting dates and times today, but I want to be sure you all have a chance to look at the times we are considering! At this point a few of you have not responded, and it's important that we choose a time will work for you all! Looking forward to seeing you all today in a few hours!

Poll by Fri. Dec 6: Scheduling Council Meetings starting January 2025
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 29 Nov '24

29 Nov '24

Dear TEI Council, It's about to be December! Our last meeting for 2024 is coming soon, and we'll be saying farewell to Magdalena and Gus. We will definitely miss you in Council but we know we'll see you again next year in working on TEI Lite2! We also look forward to welcoming Ulrike and Martin, who officially begin with the Council in January! Ulrike and Martin, you should now be added to this Council e-mail listserv, and this is one place where we'll make formal announcements. You are both most welcome to join us at the December meeting, though this is optional and we'll understand if you can't make it until the start of your terms in January! As for meetings from January 2025 onward, we need to schedule them! Council has been meeting in the second full week of every month for 90-minute sessions, and I am hoping to set a regular date and time that might hold through April or May this spring. With this regular monthly meeting plan in mind, would each of you who are members of Council from January 2025 onward take a moment to review your schedules and mark your availability on this When2Meet poll? (Several of you have already begun filling this out earlier this week in response to my Slack message in the #council channel, but I ask that we each revisit this and adjust availability as needed.) *Could we each respond to this by the end of next week--by Friday December 6?* https://www.when2meet.com/?27760226-aoTLT (Again, the poll is set for the 2nd full week in January but we'll plan to apply it to the next few months. It should be set to adjust to your time zone! Please feel free to reply to this message or write to me individually if you have schedule issues or questions.) I'll review your responses next week in hopes of announcing our January - April Council meeting dates / times at the December meeting and here on this list. We'll also need to start thinking about our next multi-day face-to-face (or virtual) meetings, but we'll revisit this in the new year! The December meeting is scheduled (as posted on our Google Calendar <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=bW5zbHUxajQ4cXZlbzlsYXQ4a2hjb3…>) on Tuesday December 10 at 10:00–11:30 PDT | 13:00–14:30 EDT | 17:00–18:30 UTC | 19:00–20:30 CEST over Zoom at the usual location: Zoom: https://psu.zoom.us/j/98850059066?pwd=UzhBL2NFc1lweWYzS2xZd2dqYVZpdz09 password: tei Thanks, everyone!

TEI Lite 2.0 Task force
by Magdalena Turska 07 Nov '24

07 Nov '24

Dear Elisa and Council, Following up on our discussions in the F2F meeting in Buenos Aires I would like to request establishing a task force to create a new, substantially changed revision of the TEI Lite. As agreed in BA, task force members will be as follows: Helena Bermúdez-Sabel Gustavo Fernandez Riva Martina Scholger Magdalena Turska As for the organization of work, we are planning to meet in person in January 2025, in my house in Poland. Best regards, Magdalena Scope of the work and planned deliverables TEI Lite 2.0 task force is dedicated to the creation of the new TEI Lite schema and corresponding Guidelines with extended examples section. These will be accompanied by implementations for the new functionalities required for the schema processing and Guidelines publication. Rationale Motivations for the new version of the TEI Lite are several. First, its original dates back to 1996, later followed by a series of updates varying in scope. The last substantial revision was made in 2006, at a time when both the technologies supporting XML processing were not as developed, and, more importantly, consensus regarding publication and interoperability of TEI-encoded texts was completely lacking and implementation praxis varied hugely. Therefore TEI Lite (and TEI) Guidelines for the most part pay no heed to processing and publishing concerns, in particular rarely addressing encoding strategies for composite, heterogeneous collections, focusing rather on the "archive" function of the format, where effectively all information is injected into a single TEI resource. The task force's intention is to expand the horizon of the TEI Lite Guidelines, to discuss recommended data modeling, organization and processing practices for a broad range of real life uses. Especially the processing part will make use of the TEI Processing Model, non-existent yet when TEI Lite was last updated. Second, despite decades of efforts from the TEI community, the standard is still too often perceived as prohibitively complex, and even the presence of TEI Lite with its reduced set of elements did not amend the situation. One reason may be the fragmentary character of existing resources to learn TEI from, both in terms of structure and examples provided. Particularly the latter in the Guidelines are usually missing the broader context, from the facsimile of the original source to the complete TEI document to which they might belong, therefore making it impossible for the users to analyze the complete picture the Guidelines try to portray. Therefore, TEI Lite aims to extend the base of full encoding examples as well as illustrate remaining fragmentary ones with a broader context, from facsimile images, through the editorial process, to a proposed final presentation. This will be achieved through extensive use of graphic and other media (e.g. screencasts or animations), not relying solely on textual descriptions of phenomena discussed. Finally, one of the common concerns with the TEI standard is its increasing idiosyncrasy, for the most part a consequence of the inability to express contextually diverse content models for the same element. TEI Lite 2.0 task force intends to propose a syntax and implementation for that problem, together with the reorganization of a number of elements. We hope that the results of this effort will pave the way for the new, P6, version of the TEI.

by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 12 Aug '24

12 Aug '24

Dear Council, A reminder that we plan for our monthly Council call this August on Tuesday, August 13 at 10:00–11:30 PDT 13:00–14:30 EDT 17:00–18:30 UTC 19:00–20:30 CEST Zoom: https://psu.zoom.us/j/98850059066?pwd=UzhBL2NFc1 This is an unusual date that we agreed on because so many of us were unavailable last week for the big DH 2024 conference in Washington, DC, and I’m going to be traveling to another conference later this week.) I’ll send our Google Doc soon with an agenda, but just wanted to remind you all of the weird date/time. Hope you can make it! Among other things we need to sort out is dates for our September, November, and December council meetings just before and after the Buenos Aires F2F! Cheers, Elisa -- Elisa Beshero-Bondar, PhD TEI Technical Council Chair Program Chair of Digital Media, Arts, and Technology | Professor of Digital Humanities | Director of the Digital Humanities Lab at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College Development site: https://newtfire.org

Reminder: Council Meeting Wed. July 10!
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 09 Jul '24

09 Jul '24

Hi Council! Just a quick reminder that we scheduled a meeting tomorrow to follow up on our happily successful release of the Guidelines/Stylesheets. We've invited Hugh to join us (thanks, Hugh!) so we can talk about changes to processing the Guidelines and perhaps an incremental release to correspond with the new website launch. Meeting time: 10:00am PDT / 1:00pm EDT / 5:00pm UTC / 7:00pm CEST Agenda + Zoom link <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lgrFBqvw-n9j7XDGE0hzvhTVU41XzT9UNjU2dVf…> Please update the agenda with anything we need to discuss! I've added several tickets that we nearly closed but didn't in time for the release that I think we can probably dispatch quickly... Thanks, everyone! See you soon!

victims of version vagueness
by Bauman, Syd 25 Jun '24

25 Jun '24

I started working on the teidata.version = teidata.version.unicode | teidata.version.semver | teidata.version.calver | teidata.whatever system today. (In a branch I have not committed, let alone pushed.) Less than halfway through the process I ran into a (moderately embarrassing) problem. It turns out calVer<https://calver.org/> is not a calendar-based version numbering system as we had assumed during our recent discussions. It is rather a cheerleading document in favor of calendar-based versioning in general, with both a breakdown of the potential components such a version number might use, and a list of specific projects that use a calendar-based version numbering system (along with the pattern of aforementioned components that project uses). My first reaction is I have no idea what we should do about this. My second reaction is I can easily scope out a range of options, as follows. 1. Do nothing with calVer — drop it from the list of TEI datatypes-to-be. 2. Go whole-hog: For every system described by calVer, create a TEI datatype that validates it. E.g., the datatype for the Ubuntu system would be defined with something like <dataRef name="token" restriction="([4-9]|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9][0-9])\.(0[[0-9]|1[0-2])(\.[0-9]+)?"/> Datatypes could be named flatly, e.g. teidata.version.ubuntu, or could be named hierarchicly, e.g. teidata.version.calendar.ubuntu. 3. Something in between. (E.g., calVer divides systems into case studies, notables, and others; maybe do #2 but only for the case study ones.) I really don’t like #1, because, in general, this is a great way to do version numbering. I encourage everyone to scan the major portions of the calVer document, if not read the whole thing.

May Council Meeting changed to May 15, Buenos Aires travel doc
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 08 May '24

08 May '24

Dear Council members, The Council meeting we’d planned for this Friday May 10 is now postponed to Wednesday May 15 at a new time: - 10:30am - noon Pacific time (Joey) - 1:30 - 3pm Eastern Time (Syd, Raff, Elisa) - 7:30 - 9pm CET (Sabine, Martina, Torsten, et al) It will be the usual Zoom link: https://psu.zoom.us/j/98850059066?pwd=UzhBL2NFc1lweWYzS2xZd2dqYVZpdz09 (Password: tei) I've also started a very rough Google Doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EVwA5vbreWLUeyWJU286g43t4XKkIm2otkjjrtK…> to assist our travel planning to Buenos Aires. We're awaiting details on the locations of Council's meetings, but I think we'll have that very soon. Traditionally, Council members share arrival times / flight numbers (etc) here so we can look out for each other and try to meet at airports / stations as we arrive and depart. Please feel free to begin sharing your information here. We also have started using two new channels in Slack: * #f2f-planning * #tei-conference (where Torsten has begun discussing travel plans) One more thing! We need to determine dates for summer monthly meetings ahead of our trip to Buenos Aires, so please be thinking of good times of day and dates for our one 90-minute meeting per month. See you soon, and many thanks for all you do for the TEI!

CMC-SIG repo now a TEIC branch
by Bauman, Syd 15 Mar '24

15 Mar '24

I have created a new branch in the TEIC/TEI repo called “cmc”. It is a squashed fork of the TEI-CMC-SIG/TEI branch “cmc-features”. What this means (presuming I have done this right) is that most, if not all, further work on the new CMC chapter should be performed in the new branch. Harald and Michael do not have write access to that branch (I don’t think), so if they wish to commit a change they may have to either make a requests of someone who does, or commit to their TEI-CMC-SIG/TEI, in which case we would need to merge. Because there have been some updates to other parts of P5 (although none to CMC itself) in the past few weeks, I have generated new outputs (see below). In addition, Jenkins maintainers may want to make jobs for building the TEI cmc branch against the Stylesheets dev branch. * Guidelines: https://bauman.zapto.org/~syd/temp/CMC/Guidelines-web/en/html/index.html * Exemplars: https://bauman.zapto.org/~syd/temp/CMC/Exemplars/

Agenda for VF2F Fri 3/15 - Sat 3/16
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 13 Mar '24

13 Mar '24

Dear Council, Here is a draft agenda for our VF2F this weekend <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DeLuEw8p_ZVD9AM8HXX1-a3G9ycQXFsD-u6JD9t…>! Timing and Zoom link to access the VF2F are in the Google Doc. I've also posted the agenda in our Slack (to circulate at 8am EDT today!) Please feel free to add tickets or discussion items for the full Council session, or to prioritize particular tickets and issues that you want to make sure we address sooner rather than later! Also, please make sure I haven’t made timing mistakes for the meeting. Thanks, each of you, for making time for this important work session for Council! For those of you who can't join us, you'll still see lots of activity on the GitHub repos and in Slack, and I hope this VF2F gets us all moving productively on tickets and big issues, rolling toward our next release! Cheers, Elisa -- Elisa Beshero-Bondar, PhD TEI Technical Council Chair Program Chair of Digital Media, Arts, and Technology | Professor of Digital Humanities | Director of the Digital Humanities Lab at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College Development site: https://newtfire.org

TEI Council Upcoming VF2Fs, Modified Meeting schedule
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 01 Mar '24

01 Mar '24

Greetings, TEI Council! We have a short virtual face-to-face (VF2F) meeting coming up on March 15/16. I'm traveling next week and won't be in a reliable place for internet the day of our scheduled Council call of March 8. I also think we don't really need this meeting with the VF2F. We need to work on our VF2F agenda, so I'll try to get a start on that and share it with the group for modification over the next couple of weeks. So let's cancel the meeting of March 8. If you'd like to use that 90 minutes this Friday to get together and work on a dedicated task or ticket, feel free to use my Council meeting Zoom at https://psu.zoom.us/j/98850059066?pwd=UzhBL2NFc1lweWYzS2xZd2dqYVZpdz09 I shall simply remove that March 8 meeting from our calendar. Cheers and see you in the middle of March!

Dear all, We were meant to meet next Friday (March 23rd). However, I won't be able to chair the meeting this coming week, so I propose meeting on March 1st instead. If there is a preference for keeping the original date, maybe someone else can volunteer to chair the meeting? Apologies for this change. I will send the agenda in the following days. Best, Helena

monthly ticket triage
by Bauman, Syd 01 Mar '24

01 Mar '24

I performed ticket triage this morning. All issues and pull requests in the TEI and Stylesheets repos that are < 2 years old now have assignees except the Stylesheets issue I opened yesterday (Documentation file teixsl.xml needs updating #665<https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/issues/665>). This issue could be a pretty sizeable task, since that document has not had any significant updates since 2015. That said, it is not huge: the document is only a bit over 2,500 words long. It has 6 or 7 major divisions and some 45 paragraphs. In principle I do not mind doing this myself. But my plate is already pretty full. Maybe we could divide and conquer, or maybe someone who wants to review how the Stylesheets work (for users) just wants to take it on?

ATOP TF down one
by Bauman, Syd 08 Feb '24

08 Feb '24

Dear Council — I write to you with the concerning news that David Maus has decided to resign from the ATOP task force. I call this “concerning” rather than “sad” news because although it is sad for us (the remaining members) to lose David whom we both like and like working with, and sad for us (the TEI) to lose such an incredible talent, it is not really sad in the sense that David is not leaving for some horrible reason like he has decided that the digital humanities is a waste of time. Rather, David has decided to stop working on ATOP for reasons that I think we should be concerned about. The main reason for David’s departure is that he no longer believes that the task of writing an ODD processor is a feasible one. He spent some significant time and effort working on ATOP over the holiday break. While he made some progress, the chief result of his labors was frustration with the poor quality of the specification of ODD, namely the TEI Guidelines, specifically chapter 22, Documentation Elements<https://tei-c.org/Vault/P5/4.7.0/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/TD.html>. He believes that the poor quality of the specification makes a proper implementation impossible.[1] David also has a sense of frustration with TEI as an organization. The TEI Board has not gotten back to him on a potential collaboration, and it is taking us (the TEI Council) months and months to address some of the issues he has raised. While I share David’s frustration with the sluggishness of progress in the TEI-C, I also recognize that the work is being done by volunteers with real jobs. So I see both sides of this coin. Lastly, and in some sense most importantly, David just is not having fun doing ATOP work anymore. The good news is that David is still willing to help as an occasional as-needed consultant, and to pitch in with the jTEI publications we have already committed to. Furthermore, I am confident David will still be available as a resource to TEI when thorny Schematron issues come up. (He is one of the leading experts on Schematron, having written what many consider the premier Schematron processor in the world: SchXslt<https://schxslt.github.io/schxslt/>, which I call mausatron.) I do not intend to try to replace David immediately. The ATOP task force will work with just the three of us for a few months first, and then we will discuss as a group whether we want to expand or not. Note [1] He may well be right. While the remaining members of the task force do not currently share this belief, we do all believe we might very well agree with him after diving further into the nitty-gritty details of the ODD specification. We are actually somewhat worried that after a few more meetings we may also be throwing our arms up in despair.

CMC time!
by Bauman, Syd 02 Feb '24

02 Feb '24

[Note to Jessica, Harald, and Michael — If you try replying to this message it may be rejected by the list. If that happens (and I get a copy) I can post it for you.] I think it is time to move work on CMC from the small subgroup (me, Peter Stadler, Harald Lüngen, and Michael Beißwenger) to Council as a whole (still with input from Peter, Harald, and Michael, and hopefully from Jessica Lu as well). I hope that we can discuss the new chapter at our meeting 1 week from today. The goal, of course, is to incorporate the new CMC chapter and module into the Guidelines with due haste.[1] With that in mind, I am hoping everyone will at least read the chapter (it is not particularly long — less than 6,800 words), if not also try to encode some CMC with it, before we meet. Resources: * The ticket<https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues/1955> * The fork of P5<https://github.com/TEI-CMC-SIG/TEI> that we have been working in * The cmc-features branch of that fork<https://github.com/TEI-CMC-SIG/TEI/tree/cmc-features> is the one we have been using * The Jenkins job<https://jenkins.tei-c.org/job/TEIP5-CMC-features/> Peter set up for that branch * The last HTML Guidelines<https://jenkins.tei-c.org/job/TEIP5-CMC-features/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifa…> that job successfully built (chapter 9<https://jenkins.tei-c.org/job/TEIP5-CMC-features/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifa…> is the new chapter) * The last PDF Guidelines<https://jenkins.tei-c.org/job/TEIP5-CMC-features/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifa…> that job successfully built * The last tei_all closed (.rnc) schema<https://jenkins.tei-c.org/job/TEIP5-CMC-features/> that job successfully built * The last tei_all open (.isosch) schema<https://jenkins.tei-c.org/job/TEIP5-CMC-features/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifa…> that job successfully built * The last HTML Guidelines<https://bauman.zapto.org/~syd/temp/CMC/Guidelines-web/en/html/index.html> I built locally (chapter 9<https://bauman.zapto.org/~syd/temp/CMC/Guidelines-web/en/html/CMC.html> is the new chapter) * The last set of Exemplars<https://bauman.zapto.org/~syd/temp/CMC/Exemplars/> I built locally (includes RELAX NG and Schematron) There are several known problems: * Internal references: TEI issue #2332<https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues/2332> * The first figure needs to be scaled (it looks bad in HTML, awful in PDF) * PDF output: * Headings are in an ugly monospaced typeface (this is not unique to CMC) * Inline monospaced bits are way too big (this is not unique to CMC) * Stylesheets issue #661<https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/issues/661>. * The ultimate section should list classes defined, in addition to elements and macros. Also my somewhat out-of-date spell checker flags lots of problems, many of which I think are OK. The majority are compound words that it claims should be separate words or hyphenated. I think all of the following are correct as is, except where noted. * “multimodal” * “audiovideo” — I think these should be “audiovisual” * “coworking” — I am not sure the word is used correctly, but I think it is spelled correctly * “kinesic” * “macrostructure” and “microstructure” * “logfile” * “webpage” — I think this would be better as “web page” * “interactants” * “anonymize” and “anonymisation” — I think these are correct as is, but we should be consistent * “reconstructible” — I am not confident about this one * “tokenisation” * “substring” * “pseudonymised” and “pseudonymisation” Note [1] I am not exactly sure how we go about merging the forked branch into our repo, but figure that detail is not particularly important right now, and we can discuss that at this or a later meeting. I have merged the TEIC/TEI dev branch into the TEI-CMC-SIG/TEI cmc-features branch recently (yesterday, I think).

Happy New Year! 2024 Council Monthly Meetings
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 02 Jan '24

02 Jan '24

Happy New Year, Council! Thanks, each of you, for responding to the calendar poll to help us arrange our meetings these next several months. We have a very clear moment of collective alignment. Council will be meeting on the same schedule as last year, that is on *Fridays at 6:30am PST / 9:30am EST / 2:30pm UTC / 3:30pm CET* . We'll stick with this schedule for Council meetings until any of us needs to make a change. Meetings are 90 minutes long. Holding our pattern of regularly meeting in the 2nd full week of the month, that means our first meeting of 2024 will be on *Friday January 12 over Zoom*. I've updated our schedule on the TEI Google Calendar, and will send out a draft agenda with the Zoom link via Slack as usual.

Last Council Meeting of 2023: Moved to Friday December 15
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

Dear TEI Council, As discussed on Slack, I've had to reschedule our last Council meeting of the year 2023 to one week later: *Friday December 15*. From our Slack discussion that should work for most of us, at the same times as usual (at 6:30am PST / 9:30am EST / 2:30pm UTC / 3:30pm CET), same Zoom link we've circulated in past minutes. We have some new topics "brewing" for the Council call connected to the November release. We'll also try to do some "calendaring" with some new polls to watch for on Slack and here to 1. Make sure we have a good meeting time for everyone in 2024, and 2. Sort out when to hold our virtual F2F sessions this spring. Cheers and more soon!

time to fix, retire, or kill Test/
by Bauman, Syd 26 Oct '23

26 Oct '23

Trish & I are doing the p5subset → Stylesheets process. Most of our time has been spent handling Test/. I think it is just too cumbersome — the amount of time we (Council, collectively) spend wrangling with Test/ is likely by now much greater than the amount of time it saves by catching bugs early. I think we need to do one of three things, toot sweet: 1. Re-work the Test/Makefile so that the process is much easier: e.g., when comparisons are deferred, a shell script to perform them needs to be generated; this might be hard to impossible. 2. Stop using Test/, it is just not helpful enough to be worth it. Leave the directory in the repo so that we can use it when there is a particularly gnarly case, or when a human is not waiting for it, but remove it from the general test procedure we use, e.g. when generating p5subset for the Stylesheets repo. 3. Remove Test/ from the repo (and various instructions) entirely (and rename Test2/ to Test/ :-) My vote is for (2). I could be perhaps be talked into (3) reasonably easily; it would take some serious convincing to get me to vote for (1). P.S. BTW, Martin & I intended that we would do (3) when we developed Test2/. (I wanted to hang onto Test/, i.e. do (2), for awhile to ensure that everything tested by Test/ was also tested by Test2/.)

A little update
by Elli Bleeker 07 Sep '23

07 Sep '23

Dear council members, First of all, I hope you're thoroughly enjoying the conference in Paderborn! I wanted to write to you with a quick update on my situation (as far as Elisa hasn't already filled you in). The past months have been, well, hard work, but I'm happy to report all is well with our new little family. The twins were born on March 17, two months too soon, and we had to stay in the hospital for three weeks, but since taking them home they've been doing great. Enclosed a picture for those interested. Still, it's been quite demanding to take care of newborn twins (who would've thought?) and so far I haven't had a chance to recover from the burn-out symptoms I experienced right before (and during) my pregnancy. So when Elisa wrote to me proposing I extend my leave from Council, thus not only giving me some more time to recover but also giving someone else the chance to experience Council for a year, I considered it a good solution. I was indeed very happy to hear that Joey has been a wonderful addition to Council and I'm glad this solution worked out so well. This is not to say I miss you very much and I wish I could be there in Paderborn with you. Starting this week, the twins are going to daycare, giving me some much needed time to rest and get better. For now, I wish you an interesting, productive and overall great conference and members meeting. All best, Elli [image: image.png]

Fwd: Mailing List Change of Address
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

Council: I'm forwarding this e-mail exchange recently with Martin Mueller who has some ideas for us to get more involved with university libraries. Elisa ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Elisa Beshero-Bondar <ebbondar(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Sep 3, 2023 at 11:28 PM Subject: Re: Mailing List Change of Address To: Martin Mueller <martinmueller(a)northwestern.edu> Hi Martin, Thanks for your thoughtful messages, including the one about what we're currently calling "New Light" or "Lite 2" in Council. (You'll have more to read as we get our minutes posted--it's turning into a fascinating conceptual project.) Some of our discussion has been about studying how librarians understand metadata (including those who don't use the TEI very much) in order to put forward a streamlined version of the teiHeader, I will say that Penn State's IT are good generous people, and Listserv a remarkably robust and well-maintained software used by many universities in the US--and the transfer work was entirely pleasant and remarkably easy as a result. Libraries had little to do with that development in particular. Curriculum is another matter--I agree that it would be lovely to connect the Big Ten with TEI, but I suspect the real bottleneck is faculty teaching undergraduates. Some of us do, but we're a patchy network I think. Markup theory and practice needs to be taught to more grad students for this to catch on as canonical in curricula, but I think it certainly does teach remarkably well and appeals to students for what you can make and build of it--as you say, a sort of "maker space." TCP is certainly an important project to celebrate for bringing institutions together with a common goal, and it certainly does make for a good starting point for discussions about TEI in academe.

Fwd: More about TEI Lite
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

Message from Martin Mueller to the TEI-L list, pertinent to our discussion of Lite 2. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Martin Mueller <martinmueller(a)northwestern.edu> Date: Mon, Aug 21, 2023 at 6:44 PM Subject: More about TEI Lite To: <TEI-L(a)listserv.brown.edu> I read through the minutes of the Technical Council that discussed my proposal to phase out simplePrint and merge it into a new version of TEI Lite that includes the Processing Model. I was pleased by the thoughtfulness of the discussion. Much of it was given over to naming the child, and I have a half-serious suggestion about that. Why not rechristen Lite and All TEI200 and TEI600? TEI-All has not quite 600 elements, and a revised TEI Lite falls short of 200. But the names give you a good sense of scale. TEI600 has a lot of elements, and TEI 200 has quite a few. The names get you out of implicit and confusing value judgements about what is ‘lite’ or ‘simple’. It may sound too much like F150 or C300, but that’s another matter, and some might like it for that reason. I disagree a little with the comment that “the phrasing of 90% of the needs of 90% of the community” is “outdated”. Pareto distributions and other power laws are pretty universal in their application. “90 % of the needs of 90% of the users” is an excellent version of the 80/20 rule. If anything, progress over the past quarter century may mean that the rule applies even more now than it did when it was used in the preface to the first version of TEI Lite. I remember working on a moderately complex project some twenty years ago. It was SGML rather than XML, and validation told you that things didn’t work without telling you much about the where or what of the errors. It’s a mystery to me now how I got it to work, though I did. Since then, the access costs to working with any kind of XML have dropped sharply, and folks with very little previous experience can “ramp up” quickly to doing useful work. If you belong to that category of users, it’s probably a good idea to ask yourself whether you can solve your encoding problem within a space of 200 elements rather than 600, not to speak of adding your own customization. That takes us back to the Nobel Prize behavioural economist Richard Thayer, who argued that in most walks of life people make better decisions if given a limited number of standard choices, as long as they can opt out. We all like to think that our projects are special, but typically they are not that special. A friend of mine told me that in Medical School he learned that “when you hear hooves behind you think horses not zebras”. Physicians like “interesting cases”. Patients not so much. This is good advice much of the time, and especially for groups like the Technical Council. Any such group is likely to have a preponderance of geeks, and geeks are more interested in exciting, new, and technically challenging things. Steven Pinker in his recent book on writing has a whole chapter on the problem that the hardest thing for a writer is to imagine what the reader does not know. Geeks share this problem, and groups like the Technical Council need to remind themselves constantly about the need to countersteer and focus on what most users do or need most of the time. Ben Shneiderman observed that good software should have “low thresholds and high ceilings”. From the bread-and-butter perspective of a thriving TEI enterprise, lowering the threshold should remain a key goal. I’m not much of a TEI expert, but I am an expert on the attitudes and anxieties of the key user community of people in English departments and their neighbours. Quite a few years Jerry McGann equipped about TEI as an acronym for *terra incognita. *Alas, the quip may still apply. The TEI has man virtues, but preaching beyond the choir is not one of them. It would be a good idea for the Technical Council to apply the 80/20 rule in such a way that 80% of the work is done on lowering the thresholds. TEI-Publisher, the happy child of the TEI Simple project, has done a lot of good work on that front. But even there much of the documentation is not as successful as it might be in keeping mind what the reader does not know. I have on occasions argued for the need of a “Small Catechism” to accompany the “Grand Catechism” of the TEI Guidelines—a magnificent document in some ways but not reader-friendly in others. The most useful part of the Guidelines is Appendix C1—the easiest and quickest way to figure out where an element may or may not occur. Since Appendix must be based on a program, it should be possible and not very expensive to create a version that Is populated only by the most frequently used elements (TEI 200 or whatever you call it. >From one perspective you don’t this: it doesn’t tell you what you can’t get from the full version. On the other hand, a TEI200 catalogue of elements and their behaviours would give novice users a much better sense of the TEI architecture. -- Elisa Beshero-Bondar, PhD TEI Technical Council Chair Program Chair of Digital Media, Arts, and Technology | Professor of Digital Humanities | Director of the Digital Humanities Lab at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College Development site: https://newtfire.org

Meeting at Paderborn
by Peter Stadler 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

Dear all, it’s only a few days until your/our meeting at Paderborn and I thought it high time to send you some Information! Your meeting room for Sun–Tue will be F0.550 (the nicest room in the building!) which is located directly on the ground floor next to the entrance of the Heinz-Nixdorf-Insitute (HNI) [1]. Since room numbers are boring I labelled it <hni:egXML> – watch out for other tag names as room labels! The room is equipped with two large screens and a projector and allows connecting via HDMI or Airplay or some other Android thing I’m not familiar with. More rooms are available for break out sessions. All the pre-conference workshops (Mon-Tue) will be held at the HNI, too, so you will have to have regular breaks since the coffee break catering is located directly next to your room. For Sunday, I will bring some coffee, tea, and biscuits directly to your room. The lunch breaks on Mon/Tue will be at the cafeteria free of charge for all conference participants (I hope you are all registered for the conference?) On Sunday, I recommend to order some food because there’s not much around the HNI. A nice place might be the Pader Café, though, wich is a 10min walk away and should serve some food on Sundays according to [2]. Sunday evening you’re invited to my place (6:30pm, is that ok?) – I hope the weather will be fine and we can have a barbecue, so please let me know about your dietary restrictions and/or preferences! Please let me know if you need anything else! Looking forward to hosting you at Paderborn Peter [1] https://www.hni.uni-paderborn.de/service/raeume-im-gebaeude-f/besprechungsr… <https://www.hni.uni-paderborn.de/service/raeume-im-gebaeude-f/besprechungsr…> [2] https://www.pader.cafe <https://www.pader.cafe/>

Rahtz Prize Committee interest?
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 21 Jul '23

21 Jul '23

Greetings, Council! We need one representative from Council to serve on a little three-person committee to award the Rahtz Prize for TEI Ingenuity <https://tei-c.org/activities/rahtz-prize-for-tei-ingenuity/> for 2023: one from Council, one from Board, and one who won the award in a previous cycle. Apparently we have a proud tradition of always running late in the posted cycle--but we do need to get started quickly! I understand that the little committee needs to form and issue a call for applications, likely by early August and then start reviewing them to make a decision by the time of the TEI / MEC conference. This involves looking for applications, reviewing submissions and that we'll typically announce the winner at the TEI Conference in the Annual General Meeting. So long as you have not served on the committee 4 times already, you're eligible to represent Council. Are you interested in serving on the Rahtz committee to represent the Council? If so reply to this and let me know--probably in course of the next week--say before July 27, okay? I am willing to serve in this capacity but I wanted to ask the group first--I am also going to be crazy busy in August getting ready for my university classes (which start 21 August) and the Council F2F. I'd be super grateful for anyone with a more peaceful August schedule who is willing to serve on this committee!

namespace declaration in examples
by Bauman, Syd 20 Jul '23

20 Jul '23

Magic removal time! OMG, I am so excited. But I have to prep slides for tomorrow, no time to do this now. Thus I am writing some notes here. See https://tei-c.org/Vault/P5/4.6.0/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-TEI.html. Note that there is a proper namespace declaration in both examples. How the BLEEP did it get there? We cannot put a namespace declaration for the empty namespace on an element in an <eg:egXML> (unless it is on an element that has an explicit prefix), because its contents need to be in the eg: namespace. The answer is that there is magic in the Stylesheets.[1] Now take a look at https://www.wwp.neu.edu/outreach/seminars/miami_2023-07/presentations/manus…. The source for that slide uses <egMarkup>, an element that has the same kind of namespace specification restriction. So how did the namespace declaration get there? Simple. So simple I am annoyed at myself for not thinking of this long ago. In the source it is not a namespace declaration, it is an xmlns attribute in a namespace. Thus it makes it to the Stylesheet as an attribute node and can be processed like any other attribute. The special case in the stylesheet that processes that slide is simple, straightforward, and easy to document: “An attribute in the duck: namespace has its prefix stripped off before it is rendered in the output”. Note [1] Particularly in Stylesheets/common/verbatim.xsl, starting at roughly line 463.

Next Stylesheets meeting: June 22

18 Jun '23

Dear all, The next Stylesheets meeting is scheduled for June 22 at at 18:00Z (11:00 PDT, 14:00 EDT, 20:00 CEST). Here you have the agenda<https://docs.google.com/document/d/11_l_MZ6M2lxhE2qtH6QUkZVxo0-OQrNgRhOnpaU…>, which proposes continuing with the work on the presentation of attribute lists, since we are very close to closing that ticket. However, I am also happy to organise a different meeting just to tackle that ticket (because I recognise that having dedicated two different meetings to it is frustrating), and that way we can do something different in the next Stylesheets meeting.

on the Takeda strategy and macro.msDescPart
by Bauman, Syd 14 May '23

14 May '23

We have not heard from Torsten Schaßan or anyone else from the MS-SIG on 2214<https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues/2214>. I am going to suggest that we take the following actions. * Politely decline his PR<https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/pull/2423> — that content model will not do what anyone wants. * Merge sydb_2214 in. Even if it is not exactly what the MS-SIG wants, it is a step in the right direction. * IF the MS-SIG wants <msPart> and <msFrag> to intermingle with the other four elements (<msContents>, <physDesc>, <history>, and <additional>) we should push back against the idea. I am not saying we should not do it under any circumstances, but I honestly believe we (the MS description workgroup back in 2005) designed that part of the content model because, as JC affirmed in Guelph, it makes sense that way; whereas I think we designed the part of the content model for those other four elements that way because it was easy on us. * Develop a written policy for application of the Takeda Strategy that says, essentially, at 2–4 particles we simply expand the desired structure in PureODD [see below for what that looks like but in RNC, not PureODD], but at 5+ particles we loosen the grammar-based content model (RELAX NG) and add further constraints with the rule-based schema (ISO Schematron). * Note: The above policy need not be applied to an <interleave> with only 1 particle, as that is exactly the same as that 1 particle without an <interleave>. 🙂 * This, of course, is applicable during the time period before we get <tei:interleave> working. (I think, BTW, that if we want to do this right the Stylesheets should generate proper DTD code, if possible, no matter how many particles there are. But that can be discussed later on the ticket(s) for <tei:interleave>.) Seems to me writing the PureODD for 1–3 is pretty easy, and we already have an example of doing so for 4, so copying & modifying it should not be hard. But 5 is essentially unmanageable, and I don’t even want to consider 6+. (Note, BTW, that speed is not a concern — jing validates against the 5-element version in < 0.1 s. I compared running 100 iterations of jing using the 4-element version and the 5-element version. The change in real time was 5.2 s to 6.5 s; the change in user time was 7.8 s to 8.8 s. That was using RNC, so each iteration had to convert the compact syntax to XML syntax first.) Here is what an interleaves of 2–5 elements looks like expanded to be usable by XML DTD language. (To see what 4 look like in PureODD see macro.msDescpart<https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/blob/sydb_2214/P5/Source/Specs/macro.msDescPart…> or the file I attached to a comment<https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues/2214#issuecomment-1268958396> on the ticket.) Note that when just a list of references to elements with parens, commas, and or bars like these, DTD syntax and RELAX NG Compact Syntax are the same. one As mentioned above, an interleave of one item is just that item: <rng:interleave> <rng:ref name="one"/> </rng:interleave> is the same as just ( one ) two <rng:interleave> <rng:ref name="one"/> <rng:ref name="two"/> </rng:interleave> is the same as ( one & two ) is the same as ( ( one, two ) | ( two, one ) ) Four particles, 3 pair parens, and three connectors instead of two particles, 1 pair parens, and a connector three ( one & two & three ) is the same as ( ( one, ( ( two, three ) | ( three, two ) ) ) | ( two, ( ( one, three ) | ( three, one ) ) ) | ( three, ( ( one, two ) | ( two, one ) ) ) ) 15 particles, 13 pair parens, and 14 connectors instead of three particles, 1 pair parens, and 2 connectors four ( one & two & three & four ) is the same as ( ( one, ( ( two, ( ( three, four ) | ( four, three ) ) ) | ( three, ( ( two, four ) | ( four, two ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( two, three ) | ( three, two ) ) ) ) ) | ( two, ( ( one, ( ( three, four ) | ( four, three ) ) ) | ( three, ( ( one, four ) | ( four, one ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( one, three ) | ( three, one ) ) ) ) ) | ( three, ( ( one, ( ( two, four ) | ( four, two ) ) ) | ( two, ( ( one, four ) | ( four, one ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( one, two ) | ( two, one ) ) ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( one, ( ( two, three ) | ( three, two ) ) ) | ( two, ( ( one, three ) | ( three, one ) ) ) | ( three, ( ( one, two ) | ( two, one ) ) ) ) ) ) 64 particles, 57 pair parens, and 63 connectors instead of 4 particles, 1 pair parens, and 3 connectors five ( one & two & three & four & five ) is the same as ( ( one, ( ( two, ( ( three, ( ( four, five ) | ( five, four ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( three, five ) | ( five, three ) ) ) | ( five, ( ( three, four ) | ( four, three ) ) ) ) ) | ( three, ( ( two, ( ( four, five ) | ( five, four ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( two, five ) | ( five, two ) ) ) | ( five, ( ( two, four ) | ( four, two ) ) ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( three, ( ( two, five ) | ( five, two ) ) ) | ( two, ( ( three, five ) | ( five, three ) ) ) | ( five, ( ( three, two ) | ( two, three ) ) ) ) ) | ( five, ( ( three, ( ( four, two ) | ( two, four ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( three, two ) | ( two, three ) ) ) | ( two, ( ( three, four ) | ( four, three ) ) ) ) ) ) ) | ( two, ( ( one, ( ( three, ( ( four, five ) | ( five, four ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( three, five ) | ( five, three ) ) ) | ( five, ( ( three, four ) | ( four, three ) ) ) ) ) | ( three, ( ( one, ( ( four, five ) | ( five, four ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( one, five ) | ( five, one ) ) ) | ( five, ( ( one, four ) | ( four, one ) ) ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( three, ( ( one, five ) | ( five, one ) ) ) | ( one, ( ( three, five ) | ( five, three ) ) ) | ( five, ( ( three, one ) | ( one, three ) ) ) ) ) | ( five, ( ( three, ( ( four, one ) | ( one, four ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( three, one ) | ( one, three ) ) ) | ( one, ( ( three, four ) | ( four, three ) ) ) ) ) ) ) | ( three, ( ( one, ( ( two, ( ( four, five ) | ( five, four ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( two, five ) | ( five, two ) ) ) | ( five, ( ( two, four ) | ( four, two ) ) ) ) ) | ( two, ( ( one, ( ( four, five ) | ( five, four ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( one, five ) | ( five, one ) ) ) | ( five, ( ( one, four ) | ( four, one ) ) ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( one, ( ( two, five ) | ( five, two ) ) ) | ( two, ( ( one, five ) | ( five, one ) ) ) | ( five, ( ( one, two ) | ( two, one ) ) ) ) ) | ( five, ( ( one, ( ( four, two ) | ( two, four ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( one, two ) | ( two, one ) ) ) | ( two, ( ( one, four ) | ( four, one ) ) ) ) ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( one, ( ( three, ( ( two, five ) | ( five, two ) ) ) | ( two, ( ( three, five ) | ( five, three ) ) ) | ( five, ( ( three, two ) | ( two, three ) ) ) ) ) | ( two, ( ( three, ( ( one, five ) | ( five, one ) ) ) | ( one, ( ( three, five ) | ( five, three ) ) ) | ( five, ( ( three, one ) | ( one, three ) ) ) ) ) | ( three, ( ( two, ( ( one, five ) | ( five, one ) ) ) | ( one, ( ( two, five ) | ( five, two ) ) ) | ( five, ( ( two, one ) | ( one, two ) ) ) ) ) | ( five, ( ( three, ( ( one, two ) | ( two, one ) ) ) | ( one, ( ( three, two ) | ( two, three ) ) ) | ( two, ( ( three, one ) | ( one, three ) ) ) ) ) ) ) | ( five, ( ( one, ( ( three, ( ( four, two ) | ( two, four ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( three, two ) | ( two, three ) ) ) | ( two, ( ( three, four ) | ( four, three ) ) ) ) ) | ( two, ( ( three, ( ( four, one ) | ( one, four ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( three, one ) | ( one, three ) ) ) | ( one, ( ( three, four ) | ( four, three ) ) ) ) ) | ( three, ( ( two, ( ( four, one ) | ( one, four ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( two, one ) | ( one, two ) ) ) | ( one, ( ( two, four ) | ( four, two ) ) ) ) ) | ( four, ( ( three, ( ( two, one ) | ( one, two ) ) ) | ( two, ( ( three, one ) | ( one, three ) ) ) | ( one, ( ( three, two ) | ( two, three ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) 325 particles, 291 pair parens, and 324 connectors instead of 5 particles, 1 pair parens, and 4 connectors.

(I added you in, but feel free to remove yourself if you don't!) Susan: Do you need an abstract or individual contribution titles from us? Or is no abstract and just general session title okay? I've added a place for people to suggest other overall titles.

If it is possible for us to do this on Sunday morning at 9am, that will make it possible for some of our Council members to join--some who were involved in recent Guidelines developments on standoff annotation. So, if the panel is on Sunday morning at 9am, you could add Magdalena Turska. Hugh Cayless can also be listed, though he (still) might be delayed in his arrival. Magdalena would not be able to come on either of the Saturday afternoon slots due to her arrival time, but Sunday AM is fine! At any rate, more Council members can simply even be present at the panel if we do this on Sunday morning. I hope this is still timely and workable! It's okay if not--but let us know. If you need to keep the Saturday afternoon timing for the panel, we'll start the Council workday a little earlier on Sunday. On a related note, here's a pretty important question for us! What will Council need to know about working at the THINC Lab? * When is it okay for Council to be there--how early can we be there? * Do we need to leave by a certain time? (Is it okay if we work late on Sunday, like until 6pm or so--if we're getting a later start?) * Can we leave our computers safely in the room while going out for lunch? (Do we lock the door, do I get a key, etc etc? Cheers and thanks, on behalf of Council, for arranging a way for us to participate in the LINCS conference!

I've been in the teaching zone the past two days and needed a moment to catch up on this long thread. Susan, yes, Council does plan to meet all day on Sunday, but the hour we begin is flexible at the moment, and we can work around a Sunday morning LINCS panel slot, I'm sure. If the LINCS panel were at 9 or 9:30 am on Sunday morning, would that work for Council to begin around 10:30 or 11am on Sunday? That said,I think holding the panel on Saturday afternoon may be better if there are one or two people from Council already on site and willing to be part of it.

TC Minutes
by Lou Burnard 17 Apr '23

17 Apr '23

I understand that there is some interest amongst some council members in defining a more appropriate format for the TC's minutes than the WordPress files currently used. Readers of my personal blog at https://foxglove.hypotheses.org (if there are any) will know that I have been banging on about this very topic for the last few weeks; others are cordially invited to give said blog a quick glance, just in case it's of interest to you too. And if anyone cares to put their head above the parapet and confess to sharing my concerns, or has already thought through and solved the whole problem, then I would like to meet you!

Possible roundtable on TEI+LOD for Making LINCS conference in Guelph
by James Cummings 06 Apr '23

06 Apr '23

Hi TEI Council, As some of you are going to be appearing in Guelph for the TEI Council meeting which follows on from the Making LINCS conference (and then after the DH at Guelph Summer Workshops), and then for some of us having a LEAF-VRE project meeting! (I'm going to be around in Guelph from 4-17, then visiting my parents who live in Waterloo before flying home.) As such Susan Brown asked if we might have a roundtable or similar in the Making LINCS conference talking about how Linked Open Data now works so much better in the TEI. There have been a lot of developments (e.g. with <standOff>, <annotation> <annotationBlock> etc.) in the TEI. I think some of the people doing LOD but who have passing familiarity with TEI might still think of it as TEI P4 or earlier, so it might be good to bring them up to date. Say a roundtable session with a bit of show-and-tell point to all the neat new things TEI can do to record LOD. I'd happily chair and be a bit of a respondent, write up an overall abstract, etc. I'm hoping that Diane and Connie will volunteer (Diane indeed already has!), but it would be good to get a couple of current Council members depending on when people are arriving. (e.g. we could ask to be scheduled late Saturday or early Sunday and it wouldn't take too much time out of the Council meeting. I know Janelle indicated she might be available, but I didn't know when others were arriving and wanted to make sure to give everyone the opportunity. (There may be some for whom it would be useful but low-stakes CV entries?)

We are frozen. New branches (TEI/release-4.6.0 and Stylesheets/release-7.55.0) have been created. (Each was created from a dev branch for which I had just issues git pull.) Pushes and merges to these two branches should only be made by the release techs. (SB, HC, JT.)

roma + i18n: why are we waiting?

26 Mar '23

The latest release of roma (Mar 13, 0.3.1) is what you get if you try romabeta.tei-c.org<http://romabeta.tei-c.org> today. This still doesn't have any i18n features and is thus useless to the non-anglophone. The prototype at https://romajsdev.netlify.app/ claims to be using roma 1.0.0 but that hasn't been released yet. When may we expect a change? It's doing my head in to have two beta versions to choose from...

Dear all, The next Stylesheets meeting is scheduled for March 30th at at 18:00Z (11:00 PDT, 14:00 EDT, 20:00 CEST). The pre-release freezing period is also scheduled for that day: Could I ask the release technicians to create the release branches after our meeting? This way we could tackle any open PRs that can be merged before the freeze. Best, H.

web site / board ?
by Lou Burnard 19 Mar '23

19 Mar '23

Who is currently responsible for the TEI website? I assume someone is! I thought it might be the Board, but the website does not currently provide any information on Board meetings since 2020. By dint of snooping around on the mailing lists, I discovered that on the 17th inst. the Board had a meeting at which maintenance of the website did feature as an agenda item. But I have no idea beyond that because the minutes of Board meetings have not been visible for the last 3 years, as aforesaid. I ask because I am trying to put together an archive of TEI Council minutes, and am having a lot of trouble locating anything but Wordpress pages. I don't mind converting these to a better archival format (hmm, how about TEI?) but for some reason curl won't play ball with the website (or vice versa). best wishes Lou

F2F Travel Info/Prep for Guelph and Paderborn

Dear Council, I have just created two travel prep Google Docs for us to share information and travel arrangements for: 1. the Guelph face-to-face meeting <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GP28VdulVgUhVDH2Wk0BCZzkNFVkA5HO_YOVPsu…> in May, and 2. the Paderborn face-to-face meeting <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_BWyOsA-fMpTi3KhEb1HpXg21eL0lXWkBsPXtrX…> in September. Notes: * Scroll to the end of each document for a table where you can record your individual flight information. * *Update: *We *do* have TEI Council discounts for both hotels near the THINC Lab at Guelph after all (see document for the hotel registration links). * I repurposed the info on the Paderborn document from Peter's notes from 2020 when we were last planning to go there and couldn't due to the onset of pandemic travel restrictions. I'm betting that some information there will be a little outdated, so we could use some help updating it! Be sure to join these channels in our Slack for more chatter as we plan our trips! - *#f2f-guelph-2023 * - *#teimec2023* Cheers, Elisa -- Elisa Beshero-Bondar, PhD TEI Council Chair Program Chair of Digital Media, Arts, and Technology | Professor of Digital Humanities | Director of the Digital Humanities Lab at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College Development site: https://newtfire.org

Travel and Accommodations re Fwd: TEI Technical F2F in Guelph; May 7-9
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 19 Feb '23

19 Feb '23

Dear Council, Here is Susan Brown's response about booking accommodations in Guelph. We are welcome for the conference and workshops if we like. (I don't think there will be any problem with our proposing workshops either.) Please see details in her forwarded message about shuttle transit from the airport and accommodations, and note the complexity of the different blocking rates for different portions of the event. I think we're free to just start booking now on our own! Cheers, Elisa ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Susan Brown <sbrown(a)uoguelph.ca> Date: Thu, Feb 16, 2023 at 4:38 PM Subject: Re: TEI Technical F2F in Guelph; May 7-9 To: Elisa Beshero-Bondar <ebbondar(a)gmail.com> Cc: Janelle Jenstad <jenstad(a)uvic.ca>, Bauman, Syd < s.bauman(a)northeastern.edu> Hi Elisa, Sorry for the delayed response. I’ve had a crazy week getting ready to leave (and am now in transit) for a 10-day trip. We’d be thrilled to have people come for the conference and/or workshops! And proposals from Council members are most welcome, although I’m not sure if there is an overlap between your meetings and the first day of the workshops on Tuesday or not. Of course, you can book wherever you like. As I believe I mentioned, options near the university and downtown are limited, but if people have cars there are more possibilities. The shuttle between Guelph and Toronto airport is rather pricey (about $CAD100 each way, though just an additional $20 per person if multiple people are travelling together, I think) so a rental car may be more economical. I’ve been trying to get the block at Day’s Inn since December after our initial exchange; hopefully we’ll get something soon, in which case I’ll forward it on. However, what they were offering wasn’t much different from the standard rate, so I’m not sure it will be worth waiting. In the meantime, the Delta codes are below.

I know that you were investigating blocking some rooms for our group, so here are some questions: - Is it generally okay for us to book our own accommodations at the hotels you mentioned? - Should we wait until you've got things arranged with the Delta and/or Days Inn to book accommodations? - We are also wondering about the two events preceding, intersecting, and following these dates for our Council sessions. Would it be okay for Council members come early for the LINCS Project conference <https://lincsproject.ca/events/making-links-2023/> (which starts May 5, so maybe *arrive on May 4)?* - And would it be okay for our TEI people to stay through the end of DH@Guelph <https://www.uoguelph.ca/arts/dhguelph/summer2023> (which runs to May 9, so I imagine they'd want to *leave on May 10?) *Some may be interested in proposing workshops or just being generally part of all the DH fun.)

I don't think we need to prioritize actually housing us all together: we're more used to finding our own spaces individually or in small groups. I think an hour's walk is likely also to be a bit much for the group—unless there's transit to shorten the commute to THINC. I think most of us have booked maybe at most 20-minutes walk from the Council meeting venue. Maybe worth mentioning: We *do* tend to meet over long days—say, starting at 9 or 9:30am, breaking for lunch at like 1pm, and then working as late as 5:30 or even 6pm, then exploring around for dinner. Is it okay for us to take over the THINC lab for those unstructured lengths of time? I think after all the *togetherness* of a long Council day, we don't necessarily *need* to be all staying in the same place...though hotel discounts are definitely likely to help us all with making our arrangements!

We are 12 in total, and have settled on May 7-9th as the most convenient dates. If the THINC Lab is available, it would be a superb space for us to meet. If not, our main need is a room with tables, chairs, good internet and lots of plug points. A white/chalk board would not go amiss, and windows are always nice. In other words, a standard university meeting room or classroom will also be just fine. Elisa Beshero-Bondar (cc’d on this email) is the Council Chair in 2023. I’ve offered to do the local organizing (ground transportation, hotel, restaurant recommendations) and to liaise with you folks in Guelph. I know that Kim has already put out feelers to the Delta hotel in Guelph. As soon as you hear back, Kim, please send me the contact. If you arrange a conference discount for LINCS, perhaps Council could ride your coat-tails, if that’s not too much to ask. I expect that some of our numbers will want to propose papers for the LINCS conference, and others may wish to stay on for the final three days of DH@Guelph. So your invitation will facilitate some wonderful synergies and plenty of opportunities for TEI and linked data conversations to happen.

Next Stylesheets meeting
by BERMUDEZ SABEL Helena 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

Dear all, The next Stylesheets meeting was scheduled for February 23rd, but I wouldn’t be able to attend. My proposal (if there is no opposition) is for the next two meetings to be put off for a week , so we will meet, at the same time, on March 2nd (for the February meeting) and on March 30th (for the March meeting). The agenda<https://docs.google.com/document/d/11_l_MZ6M2lxhE2qtH6QUkZVxo0-OQrNgRhOnpaU…> already has one item form the Council meeting. So if I don’t hear voices against moving the meeting, I will make the necessary changes in our calendar (and send the reminders closer to the date of the meeting). Best, H.

Stylesheets Group meeting today

26 Jan '23

Dear all, The Stylesheets Group is meeting today (January 26th) at 19:00Z (11:00 PST. 14:00 EST, 20:00 CET). This is the proposed agenda<https://docs.google.com/document/d/11_l_MZ6M2lxhE2qtH6QUkZVxo0-OQrNgRhOnpaU…> for today. Depending on the number of participants in the meeting, we could tackle some of the atop-related discussions (because it’s hard to find time in the TEI-C meeting to address them). So, if you think that the Stylesheets Meeting is not the right space for this, I encourage you to leave a comment in the scratchpad saying so (in particular if you cannot make it to the meeting).

Next Council Meetings Scheduled: Second Fridays, Jan - April 2023

30 Dec '22

Greetings, Council! We've now heard from each of you and we have a new meeting time for at least the next four months: *the second Friday of each month* *(starting Friday January 13)*: 6:30 - 8am PT | 9:30 - 11am ET | 2:30 - 4pm UTC | 3:30 - 5PM CET. I've plugged these into the TEI-C Google Calendar (through August, though we will revisit the times in April in case we need to change them). And we have a new Council Zoom meeting room that I'll circulate with the January agenda. Happy New Year!

26 Dec '22

Dear friends, For those new to the TEI Technical Council, we maintain a tradition of meeting for *90 minutes in the second week of each month*. It’s now time to set a regular meeting time in our calendar that works for all of us in the multiple timezones represented by our 2023 Council. Based on input from most of you, I’m using When2Meet to help set our new schedule. This When2Meet poll is based on the week of January 8 - 14, the second week of January. Before we begin, I ask that you: - Please answer the poll to *represent your general availability over the next few months, through the end of April*. - Please be sure to *select your timezone* in the dropdown menu on the poll. *Here is the poll: *https://www.when2meet.com/?18064520-EtdUD We do need everyone to respond fairly quickly so we can schedule the January meeting! Can you all please respond to the When2Meet in the next 5 days, *by December 27*? (We may figure out the meeting dates well before then if everyone responds quickly.) Thanks, Council! If you have trouble with the poll, please reply to this message on the Council mailing list or send me an e-mail at eeb4(a)psu.edu and let me know what’s up! We’ll sort it out.

Change of date: Stylesheets December meeting
by BERMUDEZ SABEL Helena 22 Dec '22

22 Dec '22

Dear all, As discussed in the last Council meeting, the Stylesheets meeting initially scheduled for December 29th will be postponed. I am afraid that some of you might still be on holidays the following week (January 2nd--January 6th) but I was wondering if it would be possible to schedule a meeting anyway. To that end, I am sending you a When2Meet link (an alternative to Doodle that has been suggested by Council members before): https://www.when2meet.com/?18035083-8T5p7 (please, do not forget to select your Time Zone in the dropdown menu). This poll just affects the rescheduling of the December meeting. The meeting times for 2023 will be revisited soon (so expect a new poll in a few days). Best, H.

sometimes size does matter
by Bauman, Syd 30 Nov '22

30 Nov '22

I ran a time comparison of make clean validate html-web test exemplars from the released branch on 5 different machines. This was not a rigorous test, more of a semi-controlled casual comparison. The main failure for good control was that (in some cases) there were different error messages, because different systems fail to run certain things in different ways. But on quick check by eye, in no case was this a large contributing factor. (This could be rectified by doing it right, i.e. by doing it in the docker container on each machine. But several of these machines are too old or under-resourced to run docker. I will probably do the docker test on the 3 fastest of them some day.) The other control failure is that although I quit most other running programs (except, of course, Emacs, as I was running the build in Emacs, and did not check that it was the same version of Emacs), I did not check for running background daemons, etc. In any case, the results follow. Only the top one runs MacOS, all others run Ubuntu or Lubuntu. 2010 MacBook Air, Core 2 Duo @ 1.6 GHz: 28:17.1 Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e, Core M-5Y10c @ 2.0 GHz: 12:48.5 2013 MacBook Pro, Core i5-4258U @ 2.4 GHz: 8:04.5 i7-4790K @ 4.0 GHz: 4:09.7 i9-13900K @ 1.1 & 3.0 GHz: 1:30.6 (Note: The i9 seems to have some cores that run at ~1.1 GHz, and others that run at 3 GHz.) Thus the fastest machine is ~18.6 times faster than the slowest.

Next Stylesheets meeting: December 1st
by BERMUDEZ SABEL Helena 22 Nov '22

22 Nov '22

Dear all, The next Stylesheets meeting will take place on Thursday December 1st at 15.30Z (8.30 PDT, 11.30 EDT, 17.30 CEST). We should dedicate some minutes to discuss the oXygen plugin. I seem to remember that in the Council meeting we agreed to continue the discussion during this meeting (it’s not explicit in the minutes, so correct me if I am wrong). Afterwards, we will tackle some issues that need discussion. As always, do not hesitate to add other items to the agenda<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LHIhvuNTISCrlMZDZx7jkVbDt8teivQTbJrF0EV…>. <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LHIhvuNTISCrlMZDZx7jkVbDt8teivQTbJrF0EV…> Best, H.

another freakin' inconsistency
by Bauman, Syd 14 Nov '22

14 Nov '22

I am writing here instead of on a Github ticket as this is either a Guidelines issue (if we decide to encode consistently) or a Stylesheets issue (if we decide to present consistently). Sigh. Right now there appear to be roughly 3700 apostrophes in P5.[1] Of those, 3490 are encoded with U+0027 and 241 with U+2019.[2,3] Of course, many of these are inside <egXML>, and thus maybe should be left alone; and some are inside comments (or maybe PIs), and we probably don’t care at all how they are encoded. So, refining the search to exclude those, there are only 2853 apostrophes,[4] of which 2689 are U+0027 and 190 are U+2019.[5,6] Those that are encoded as U+0027 show up as U+0027 in the HTML output of the Guidelines. I think that is a sin. The question is, what do we want to do about this? The following are (roughly) in my order of preference: 1. Change all the apostrophes to U+0027 in the encoded files, and change the Stylesheets to produce U+2019 on output. Update TCW20 or whatever to match. (I.e. to tell people to use U+0027, not U+2019.) 2. Leave the inconsistent encoding, and don’t bother to update the documentation, but change the Stylesheets so the output is more readable. 3. Change all the apostrophes to U+2019 in the encoded files and update documentation to match. (I.e. to tell people to use U+2019, not U+0027.) Also need to add some checks to the build process to prevent U+0027 from slipping in. 4. Change all the apostrophes to U+0027 in the encoded files, but do not change the Stylesheets, thus leaving our output ugly. 5. Leave things alone. commands used [1] egrep -c "[^=]['’][a-z]" P5/p5.xml [2] egrep -c "[^=]'[a-z]" P5/p5.xml [3] egrep -c "[^=]’[a-z]" P5/p5.xml [4] xsel -t -m "//t:*/text()" -v "." -n P5/p5.xml | egrep -c "['’][a-z]" [5] xsel -t -m "//t:*/text()" -v "." -n P5/p5.xml | egrep -c "'[a-z]" [6] xsel -t -m "//t:*/text()" -v "." -n P5/p5.xml | egrep -c "’[a-z]" [7] Note: xsel is an alias for an xmlstarlet sel command that binds “t:” to the TEI namespace. Thus the above 3 commands ignore elements in any other namespace, particularly the TEI Examples namespace.

November Stylesheets Meeting
by BERMUDEZ SABEL Helena 13 Nov '22

13 Nov '22

Hello! The November Stylesheets meeting was originally scheduled on November 24th but I am in another event during those days and many members of Council might be also celebrating Thanksgiving Day. I was wondering if we could just put it off to one week later and have the meeting on December 1st at the usual time (8:00 PST, 11:00 EST, 16:00 UTC, 17:00 CET). Just in case, I added other options to the Doodle: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/ejZ645We Best, H.
