Roma for class
by Syd Bauman 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

I am teaching a class on TEI schemas Fri 03-08 10:00/12:00-05:00. At the moment * https://tei-c.org/tools/roma/ does NOT work * https://roma.tei-c.org/ does NOT work -- bad certificate * https://roma2.tei-c.org/ does work Question 1: Are there other instances of Roma runinng that I might use? Does anyone happen to have one up? (I used to have one at Brown, but never set it up at Northeastern.) Question 2 (mostly for Raff): Bad or good idea to show them RomaJS?

RomaJS - update and meeting
by Raffaele Viglianti 05 Feb '19

05 Feb '19

Hello Council, Now that the new release is (mostly) behind us (thanks Elli, Hugh, at al!), I wanted to give you a quick update about RomaJS and attempt to schedule a call for the second week of February to discuss development and get started on planning user testing. DOODLE for meeting: https://doodle.com/poll/8p7exq3vptpb8g9t I've just updated the demo at http://mith.us/romajs. Feel free to try it out and let me know what's broken. I've been using waffle.io to keep track of GitHub issues and I found it very helpful to make sure what I do is reflected as much as possible into GitHub. The board is public and accessible here: https://waffle.io/TEIC/romajs If you have permissions on Github for TEIC, you will also be able to do stuff here if you log in. All of this is also available on GitHub issues, I just like the kanban style of waffle. To get a summary of what I've been working on since mid-December have a look at the "Done" column on the right. Here's a couple of highlights: - Create new classes and new elements in custom namespace - Implement revert to source button - Update material components web (you'll notice that the UI is pretty much the same but a little slicker) - Split updateOdd reducers (huge task with little practical effects, but that has greatly affected code readability) Please fill in the doodle and don't hesitate to ask questions here or on slack (there's a romajs channel). Thank you! Raff

Re: [Tei-council] dataSpec content
by James Cummings 03 Feb '19

03 Feb '19

If I understand Raff's suggestion correctly, then I would support the restrictive approach to only allow users possibilities of making dataTypes that 'Make Sense'. If they want to do something so weird as put an elementRef into the content of a dataSpec then they clearly should understand it well enough to be hand-editing their ODD, and then explain to us why it should be allowed in RomaJS. (But generally, RomaJS doesn't have to do everything that is possible, but only what we recommend people do.)

Re: [Tei-council] Stylesheets: rub out tei: prefix?
by James Cummings 02 Feb '19

02 Feb '19

Just to point out an option that Syd didn't suggest: - Use both prefix and xpath-default-namespace. This gives you the tei: prefix when you want to use it, but if you forget, defaults to the TEI namespace anyway. This is, of course, a _horrible_ idea for which I hope there is no support. Except if we were adopting a process of gradual conversion from prefixed to not. However, I would point out that xpath-default-namespace is used throughout the Stylesheets repository so that we are *already* inconsistent in our practice. So really we're already doing my horrible idea, though not commonly in a single stylesheet but more metaphorically throughout the repository as a whole. c.f. https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/search?q=xpath-default-namespace&unscop… Many thanks, James -- Dr James Cummings, James.Cummings(a)newcastle.ac.uk Senior Lecturer in Late-Medieval Literature and Digital Humanities School of English, Newcastle University ________________________________ From: Tei-council <tei-council-bounces(a)lists.tei-c.org> on behalf of Scholger, Martina (martina.scholger(a)uni-graz.at) <martina.scholger(a)uni-graz.at> Sent: 04 January 2019 19:14:00 To: Elisa Beshero-Bondar; Lou Burnard Cc: TEI Council; Martin Holmes Subject: Re: [Tei-council] Stylesheets: rub out tei: prefix?

dataSpec content
by Raffaele Viglianti 02 Feb '19

02 Feb '19

Hello Council and Lou, As I'm working on supporting dataSpec in RomaJS, I've been thinking about what an interface for defining a datatype's content would look like. I did a quick survey of teidata.* source files and it looks like <content> is limited to this pseudocode content model (I hope it makes sense): (dataRef* | valList | textNode) | alternate { (dataRef* | valList | textNode) } I don't see any use of <sequence>, <empty>, <anyElement>, other *Ref elements besides dataRef, or multiple <valList>s and <textNode>s. This makes perfect sense to me. The question is: should I limit the interface to allow users to build only datatypes that "make sense", or allow more flexibility? The advantage of a more restrictive approach, which I support, is that the interface can be more to the point. If we wanted more flexibility, I'd implement the Blockly interface that is currently in use for <elementSpec>s. But I think it might discourage people from defining good datatypes as it's not immediately obvious how to use it. I wanted to run this by the group to make sure I analyzed this correctly. Does this make sense? Also a quick reminder to fill the Doodle for a call in the second week of February if you're interested in participating https://doodle.com/poll/8p7exq3vptpb8g9t Thank you!

That sounds reasonable (though the argument that John Unsworth originally made for paying our way by using commercially purchased systems, and not relying on handouts dependent on particular projects, institutions, and individuals, also sounds reasonable). I'd humbly suggest, if they are willing, that the maintainers of parts of our infrastructure like those hosting Jenkins, OxGarage, and developer of new bit of infrastructure RomaJS should all be part of that larger group.

Release post mortem
by Hugh Cayless 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

Hi All, 3.5.0 wasn't entirely smooth. Remaining tasks are reloading OxGarage and Roma Docker containers (request has been sent), doing the Oxygen plugin release, and doing the Debian release. The latter process fails due to an SSL error. I suspect it may have to do with the ancient version of Ant on the TEI server and maybe wonky SSL support in an older Java library. Upgrading Ant might fix everything. I think it worked before because Jenkins wasn't under HTTPS. Notes on updates needed to the release docs are at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fTrCQrC8tRTZWLGScXKb0R_brwhOoRA6uta4c1h… . Comments welcome. We got bitten (again!) by the circular dependency between the Stylesheets and Guidelines. The Stylesheets build started failing after the Guidelines were released because it uses the p5subset from the latest release, meaning we're not *actually* testing the Stylesheets against the latest GLs build. Martin spotted a problem with the SimplePrint exemplar post release, which we decided to go back and fix. Moving the att.tableDecoration class into the figure module broke SimplePrint because it references nearly everything directly, bypassing the modules. So we inadvertently lost table attributes by putting them alongside tables (where they should have been in the first place). This is something we'll have to keep an eye out for in the future. but note https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues/1853. I think that was the gist of it. Overall, we've had better releases, but it wasn't too bad. Elli may have some followup if I missed anything. Thanks to everyone who helped today! Hugh

This airport is very close to downtown and very easy to reach by public transport or by a very affordable ride with a rideshare app. The main international airports are Dulles airport (IAD) and Baltimore-Washington (BWI). IAD has shared shuttle services (e.g. https://www.supershuttle.com/) as the metro to the airport is still under construction. BWI has shared shuttles and a train to Union Station. It also has a bus to the nearest DC metro station (Greenbelt), cash only https://www.bwiairport.com/to-from-bwi/transportation/transit/wmata. Accommodation DC hotels can be expensive.

Given that we'll spend most of our time at the Folger, I would recommend staying in these areas. Walking distance: Eastern Market, Capitol HIll, H Street Corridor, Union Station Easy metro or bus access (see below): Penn Quarter, Chinatown, Mt Vernon Sq/Convention center, NoMa, Southwest Waterfront, Navy Yard Travel within the city The DC area transport authority is called WMATA.

A bus ride will be around $2, while metro rides start at $2 and will cost more based on distance traveled.

For dinner, if we want to stick together, we'll likely hang around Eastern market (10min walk), H street (25min walk), or Chinatown (30min walk) depending on where people's hotels are, etc. I would love to have you all over at my place in the Columbia Heights neighborhood for dinner one evening.

Dear TEI Council: I am about to create the release branch for the release that Syd suggests several code names. I am unilaterally selecting the name "Raven" because Providence has a strong Edgar Allan Poe connection. Please do not commit any further changes, unless they are to the release notes or unless you communicate first with the release technicians or the chair. Release technicians are Hugh Cayless and myself. Thank you! --elli

Hi Syd, That is the standard way that those profiles work, by importing html.xsl (which of course imports all the common and html xslt), isn't it? The HTML is just a pass through for those doing readme files that have some html embedded. The makefile I was referring to was the P5 one at: https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/blob/dev/P5/Makefile#L271-L273 But that was just how I was figured out which XSLT profile is being called for the release notes. You are right that grabbing version is a problem, but you've omitted the _real_ problem which is that xslt is run over every xml file in the directory. So you can't pass it the current version. Instead, you would need to get it from the filename itself. So we'd have to get it from the filename. We should be able to do something like: <xsl:variable name="filename" select="(tokenize($document-uri,'/'))[last()]"/> to get the filename and then remove the version number from that. Note, if doing this that it would have to be tei:gi[not(ancestor::tei:ref)] or something, right?

It has templates that match the HTML namespace and ones that match the TEI namespace. That file imports html/html.xsl, which itself imports: common/verbatim.xsl, html/html_param.xsl, and common/common.xsl, which itself imports: common/common_param.xsl, common/common_core.xsl, common/common_textstructure.xsl, common/common_header.xsl, common/common_linking.xsl, common/common_msdescription.xsl, common/common_figures.xsl, common/common_textcrit.xsl, common/common_gaiji.xsl, common/i18n.xsl, and common/functions.xsl I've just looked through all of those (quickly), and none seem to have a template that matches <gi> explicitly. So I think it's probably quite reasonable to just tuck it in here. How would the code in to.xsl get the version number (to point to the Vault)? A parameter?

Hi Martina, Not sure it does work automatically, one would think that it would follow the same thing that happens with the Guidelines but looking back through some earlier ones I'm not sure it does. Looking at the makefile which calls the ant script, I think that the release notes are generated using the 'readme' profile of the stylesheets. So: https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/blob/dev/profiles/readme/html/to.xsl If we put a template in to handle tei:gi in that stylesheet that would probably do it. (Anyone else see a problem with that?) And yes, I think release notes should always point to the Vault of that version of the the Guidelines because if they point to the live site then by next version they might be out of date.
