msDesc proposal
by Martin Holmes 28 Feb '15

28 Feb '15

I seem to be unable to comment on the msDesc proposal here: <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bpBPughQp5sOoB13iTMHMeRd88Mjv12_eGZiQXY…> so I'll raise a quick question here. I'm a bit confused about the second definition; where it says: "In this case, the original manuscript is being encoded with msPart in order to provide information about the dispersed parts, or one distinct part is being encoded." Does this mean that, conceivably, the "larger original manuscript" is being encoded with a _single_ msPart, or that it's being encoded with a _series_ of msPart elements, one for each component? Cheers, Martin

Agenda for Friday's Telecon
by Hugh Cayless 27 Feb '15

27 Feb '15

Hi all, I’ve put up an agenda for our teleconference on Friday, Jan 30 at 14:00 GMT: http://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php/Council_agenda_2015-01 <http://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php/Council_agenda_2015-01> It’s mostly a copy of the previous one, on the assumption that we probably didn’t make much progress over the holidays and the review will likely be good for all of us, especially our new members. Please do add new items for discussion (or remove items there’s nothing to report on). It will take me a while to figure out how things work, so reminders of anything I may have missed, or suggestions for how things might be done better are most welcome! All the best, Hugh

F2F poll results
by Hugh Cayless 25 Feb '15

25 Feb '15

Looks like we have (sort of) a winner: the week of April 27–May 1. Raffaele marked "if need be" for the 27th–29th and Lou and Fabio for the 29th–May 1. How much of a problem are those conflicts? In particular, would travel to the US or Europe make them impossible? If I’m not mistaken, these are the offers to host we’ve had so far: ## US Boston (Syd) College Park (Raffaele) Ann Arbour (Paul) ## Canada Victoria (Martin) ## Europe Mainz (Peter) Estonia (maybe…) Is that correct? Other takers or ideas? Hugh /** * Hugh A. Cayless, Ph.D * hugh.cayless(a)duke.edu * Duke Collaboratory for Classics Computing (DC3) * http://blogs.library.duke.edu/dcthree/ **/

Suggested typology for correspAction
by Lou Burnard 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

I'd like to propose some change to this. Firstly I find the current descriptions of the various valItems a bit cumbersome and non-idiomatic. e.g. "identifies a/the sending action of the message" The use of "a/the" for "a or the" is not something we do elsewhere, nor do I think it necessary here. It's not obvious what "the sending action of the message" means either -- the message is not carrying out the sending! The description should explain what this value of the @type attribute implies, and therefore in what circumstances it should be chosen. I suggest something like "information concerning the creation or authorship of a message". I'd prefer to see the suggested values as nouns rather than gerunds, as elsewhere. So "despatch" rather than "sending", "receipt" rather than "receiving". (But I appreciate that this may cause some upsets in existing data) I would like to see a suggestion for the "authoring" correspAction, since the text does talk about this (when introducing use of @sameAs) The distinction between "receiving" and "transmitting" needs to be clarified. I would say the same for the distinction between "redirecting" and "forwarding", except that I am not sure that I know what the distinction is in that case. So, my revised valList for correspAction/@type looks like this: <valList type="semi" mode="add"> <valItem ident="creation"> <desc versionDate="2015-02-09" xml:lang="en"> information concerning the creation or authorship of a message</desc> </valItem> <valItem ident="despatch"> <desc versionDate="2015-02-09" xml:lang="en"> information concerning the sending or despatch of a message</desc> </valItem> <valItem ident="receipt"> <desc versionDate="2015-02-09" xml:lang="en"> information concerning the receipt of a message</desc> </valItem> <valItem ident="transmission">  <desc versionDate="2015-02-09" xml:lang="en"> information concerning the transmission of a message after it has been despatched</desc> </valItem> <valItem ident="redirection">  <desc versionDate="2015-02-09" xml:lang="en"> information concerning the redirection or forwarding of a message </desc> </valItem> </valList>

correspAction example
by Lou Burnard 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

In Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, the clown Feste carries a letter to the steward Malvolio. The letter is unsigned, but Malvolio thinks it is from the lady Olivia. In fact, it was written by her maid Maria, in collaboration with Sir Toby Belch. So... <correspAction type="deliveredTo"> <persName>Malvolio</persName> </correspAction> <correspAction type="deliveredBy"> <persName>Feste</persName> </correspAction> <correspAction type="sentBy" subtype="mistaken"> <persName>Olivia</persName> </correspAction> <correspAction type="sentBy" subtype="actual"> <persName>Maria</persName> </correspAction> <correspAction type="sentBy" subtype="actual"> <persName>Sir Toby Belch</persName> </correspAction> Does that sound plausible? Can someone come up with another better example showing a variety of correspActions?

Spring meeting
by Hugh Cayless 16 Feb '15

16 Feb '15

Can I encourage those of you who haven't participated in the "let's just choose a date and place" poll at http://doodle.com/fk8qbq6rrrn7qugq to do so if you care at all about the outcome? Right now, we're leaning (by one vote) toward Durham at the end of April. I'll plan on closing the poll on Monday. All the best, Hugh
