DHSI Courses in Montreal
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 25 Mar '25

25 Mar '25

Dear TEI list, Those interested in courses related to digital humanities as well as XML and TEI will find some good anticipated options on the slate at the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI), which has moved to Montreal, Quebec this year! Please take a look at this year's courses <https://dhsi.org/course-offerings/>(all of which we hope will be approved with sufficient enrollment), and consider whether a DHSI course might be helpful to you or those you work with. I'll note some very good options for our community in Week 1, May 26-30 (be sure to look from the start to the end of the list)! I hope to see you in Montreal in May! If you're curious about my course (that I co-teach with David Birnbaum), please peruse our course materials <https://ebeshero.github.io/UpTransformation/> and be in touch with questions about your project--we very much enjoy assisting with your projects in real time! 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 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 10 Mar '25

10 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.
