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.

Re: [Tei-council] Possible Linked Open Data In TEI Panel for the Making LINCS conference in Guelph
by James Cummings 18 Apr '23

18 Apr '23

Hi all, In order to keep kicking this TEI Panel at the Making Links conference into shape I've opened up a google doc at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zJlc98LSaK5T_8WgHvMxR0g3HiSz-XhRjB0oAEe… Diane: You weren't listed in the initial list of people on the panel, do you want to be? (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?
by Lou Burnard 26 Mar '23

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 ?

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
