policy on grouping element name
by Syd Bauman 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Do we have a written policy on when a grouping elment for Xs is named <listX> vs <XGrp>? I think the policy should be that we use <listX> when the order of Xs does, or may, have significance; we use <XGrp> when the order of Xs does not, or should not, have significance. In alphabetic order by the part of the GI that says what is being contained, we have: * altGrp * listApp * listBibl * listChange * listEvent * listForest * gramGrp * interpGrp * joinGrp * linkGrp * locusGrp * measureGrp * modelGrp * listNym * listOrg * listPerson * personGrp /* not really the same sort of animal */ * listPlace * listPrefixDef * rdgGrp * listRef * listRelation * spanGrp * specGrp * specGrpRef * spGrp * surfaceGrp * listTranspose * listWit While I think several of these arguably do not fall into my definitions above, I still think it may be a useful guideline for future names. Unless, of course, we already have a guideline for future names. :-)

objectName/listObject/object/idGrp and other changes
by James Cummings 26 Oct '18

26 Oct '18

Hi all, I've put a summary of the locations for testing of the various elements related to adding the object element (to provide descriptions of real or fictional objects) on the github issue at: https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues/327#issuecomment-433548949 with links to the reference pages, first draft of Guidelines prose (needs more work), etc. I made minor changes to some descriptions other elements (like physDesc or msContents) to include 'or other object' to make them usable for <object>. I wasn't doing a full build locally (just generating Relax NG schema to test) and so when checking into Jenkins I had a variety of errors pop up that I mention now just for shared experience. All fairly trivial: - ambiguous content models. I'd accidentally included listObject and model.objectLike (object, listObject) in the content model of listObject and sensibly it pointed out that would be ambiguous. - duplicate xml:id's -- I have (for now) used the same example in the object/listObject and Guidelines prose, and of course the xml:id's were duplicated so I had to go and change them -The most fun error was when I put in a commit message that it was correcting an error. Jenkins sees the word 'error' in its output and assumes this must mean there is an error and so fails the job overall! ;-) Needed: - Suggestions of some other named objects for examples - More and better examples, especially less anglo/western - More prose for the Guidelines - Proofreading corrections - Any problems...

Re: [Tei-council] Tokyo Per Diem
by James Cummings 26 Oct '18

26 Oct '18

Hi Syd, My recollection was that we used the 70% of the USA rate when in the USA and not externally because the rate often was misjudged outside... but it may be that I was entirely reversed on that recollection. Maybe it was the reverse. I honestly am not sure and haven't found any documentation on it. I've submitted mine already but happy to use whatever Hugh says is right. ;-) Many thanks, James -- Dr James Cummings, James.Cummings(a)newcastle.ac.uk School of English Literature, Language, and Linguistics, Newcastle University ________________________________ From: Tei-council <tei-council-bounces(a)lists.tei-c.org> on behalf of Syd Bauman <s.bauman(a)northeastern.edu> Sent: 25 October 2018 18:27:29 To: TEI Council Subject: Re: [Tei-council] Tokyo Per Diem I came at it from a different direction, but get the same result as RV: The US Department of State Meals & Incidentals per diem rate for Tokyo is $227. (RV went to gsa.gov; I went to state.gov.) But I have a recollection that we are supposed to use 70% of that rate,[1] but cannot find documentation which says that, or which gives the division into breakfast, lunch, and dinner. RV, where did you find it? Anyone else know where it is? The documentation at https://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php/Travel_Reimbursement_Procedures_for_Counci… does not include this information. Notes ----- [1] Which would be $158.90, which is still an awful lot of money for one day of eating in Tokyo, at least where we were. Unless I hear otherwise, that's what I'm planning to use. _______________________________________________ Tei-council mailing list Tei-council(a)lists.tei-c.org http://lists.lists.tei-c.org/mailman/listinfo/tei-council

Tokyo Per Diem
by Raffaele Viglianti 25 Oct '18

25 Oct '18

Hi folks, PSA about the per diem in Tokyo: US Dept. of State rate for Meal and Incidental Expense rate in Tokyo is $227 The breakdown (source: https://www.gsa.gov/travel/plan-book/per-diem-rates/fy2018-mie-breakdown#1h ): Breakfast: 34 Lunch: 57 Dinner: 91 Incidentals: 45 (but remember we're supposed to keep this under 20 or submit receipts) Syd (and others), which meals did you pay for the group? We had fewer lunches / dinners together this year IIRC. I covered the okonomiyaki dinner on 2018/09/07 with council members: RV (+1), SS, JC, EBB. Hope everyone had smooth travel back home! Raff

Rep: TEI workshop at Assyriologists conference
by Vanessa Bigot-Juloux 23 Oct '18

23 Oct '18

Dear Martina, Dear colleagues, I had a look at the minutes and saw that Vanessa added an item to the agenda that I missed during the meeting, sorry for that! No worries--I have added it belatedly. Regarding TEI workshop proposal: We haven’t received a call of session yet, so it is just something I would like to suggest to the organizers of this International conference. I think it can be a good opportunity to introduce TEI to neophytes. A suggestion of TEI workshop for Assyriologists which needs to be improved of course: - Morning session, TEI intensive overview based from Assyriological data: * What is TEI? * How TEI can help Assyriologists to improve their research wether it’s for philology, paleography, anthropology or other archaeological purposes (including a practical example with a list of goals for a specific project in order to be used (later during the morning session) to look for the good <elements> and @attributes). * What must a TEI practitioner need to know (TEI, ODD, XPath, XSLT, CSS) and why? * Short pratical examples: TEI (teiCorpus), XPath, XSLT (via Oxygen + preview in a browser). * How to read/use the guidelines (1) (used simultaneously with the practical examples). - Afternoon session: * How to read/use the guidelines (2). * What software to use and where to find assistance regarding this software? * Overview of TEI community and how to use Github in order to ask assistance to TEI community. * First step (suggestion to TEI tech council) to neophyte: TEI online mentoring, who, why and how? As for the morning session, I suggest working on a few practical examples (very short) that participants will send prior to the workshop in order to allow them to have a better idea of how TEI can help them. In addition, on a handout: a list of univ. who propose TEI/Xpath/XSLT training and online course (i.e.: Marjorie and Elena online training). After the sessions, I suggest giving a short questionnaire in order to list the needs of Assyriologists and how we can improve our guidelines/assistance to them. What do you think? Of course it means I’ll need support for this intensive day—from my university (i.e. Peter Stokes if he’s available during summer time) or a TEI tech council colleague (in Europe?). In advance, thanks for your kind advices.
