The TEI Simple project has been working and developed things especially over a week in January where Brian Pytlik Zillig came to Oxford to work with Sebastian and Magdalena (and intermittently me). This includes the first draft of TEI Processing Model documentation, with a configuration for TEI Simple and an implementation. See especially http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/TEIC/TEI-Simple/blob/master... for the description of the draft processing model and the <model>, <modelGrp>, and <modelSequence> elements. http://dixit.hypotheses.org/550 is a blog post of Magdalena's explaining some of the work. Upcoming: a) We have a working and advisory group meeting in late March in Berlin to confirm the the processing model proposal b) We’d like the Council to review the PM ODD extensions at its next f2f meeting; though an idea now of whether they are broadly acceptable would be very useful, but we’re not yet asking the Technical Council to consider whether and how they can be implemented (that’s in hand), just whether: 1) the notation conforms to TEI patterns, 2) the re-use of <rendition> is acceptable, and 3) whether the notation is powerful enough _in the circumstances of the Rahtz Rationale_ (this is important). c) We are negotiating now to get a 2nd implementation made of the PM spec (which still has some editing work pending), possibly by the eXist folks (Wolfgang and Adam), to confirm that there no technical barriers. d) We would like to have a hackathon or workshop getting people to test TEI Simple and its PM maybe in the late spring -James == From Sebastian == The following links should help you read about what we have done and are proposing: Documented ODD for Simple:http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/TEIC/TEI-Simple/blob/master... for differences andhttp://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/TEIC/TEI-Simple/blob/master... for full version Documented extensions for processing:http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/TEIC/TEI-Simple/blob/master... for differences andhttp://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/TEIC/TEI-Simple/blob/master... for full version TEI Simple schema (RELAX NG):https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TEIC/TEI-Simple/master/teisimple.rng Magdalena Turska has done the first implementation for the processing, and has put up some before and after test files for a test file: https://github.com/TEIC/TEI-Simple/blob/master/tests/testsimple.xml (before) andhttp://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/TEIC/TEI-Simple/blob/master... (after) Magdalena has also written a nice blog post about work on Simple at http://dixit.hypotheses.org/550 which I commend to everyone. Remember: everything you see today remains a proposal for discussion, and is not fixed in stone. == From Magdalena == The premise of processing model implementation is to generate XSLT stylesheet based solely on TEI Simple ODD file that contains models and renditions that define intended processing for TEI Simple elements. Base TEI Simple ODD can be found athttps://github.com/TEIC/TEI-Simple/blob/master/teisimple.odd Processing model implementation files can be found in polygon subdirectoryhttps://github.com/TEIC/TEI-Simple/tree/master/polygon and this is assumed to be working directory in all examples below. To generate the XSLT stylesheet one can run following command: saxon -xi -s:../teisimple.odd -o:simple.xsl -xsl:simpleoddtoxsl.xsl That will generate simple.xsl file which can be used in turn to transform the TEI Simple documents, eg: saxon -s:../tests/5730.xml -o:../tests/treasureisland.html -xsl:simple.xsl will produce html output for Treasure Island sample file. To change the behaviour of this final transformation one needs to tweak appropriate sections of teisimple.odd and re-run both commands above to 1. regenerate simple.xsl stylesheet and 2. apply it to source document again. There are additional tests at https://github.com/TEIC/TEI-Simple/tree/master/tests == -- Dr James Cummings, James.Cummings@it.ox.ac.uk Academic IT Services, University of Oxford
