A year in the life of the council Laurent Romary, TEI council chair

Making the whole thing work Editorial support Council TEI modules, classes, elements TEI customizations TEI documentation TEI Tools Source forge TEI list Community

Ground work One +single+ F2F meeting @ Dublin Vision: Making the TEI infrastructure more coherent Coherent behaviors for coherent semantics E.g. datable, spanning “Bibl gang”: bibl, biblStruct idno, biblScope, recommended practices for author description, etc. Integrating mechanisms for a better coverage of document types E.g. Manuscript transcription work Making the management of customization more coherent E.g. TEI Tite [Kevin Hawkins (Council liaison), Perry Trolard (author of Tite and part of the Mellon grant that funded development of AccessTEI), and Greg Spurlock (from Apex CoVantage)]

Ground work – cont. Implementation: hundreds of little steps Cf. SourceForge: GO!! Invisible changes New mechanisms in ODD From Roma to Roma New Roma based on XSLT2 stylesheets Coherence with OxGarage – coherence across endeavors (ePub, ISO, etc.) Difficult to keep the vision… Desperately missing a second meeting… And, and, and, even more

The TEI is part of the internet world IETF/IANA registration: “defining an 'application/tei+xml' media type for markup languages defined in accordance with the Text Encoding and Interchange guidelines” <TEI>, <teiCorpus> .tei, .teiCorpus, .odd Action coordinated by S. Lundberg Individual submission under review by Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) Next step: Publication. Can occur during November Full text: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-lundberg-app-tei-xml-07.txt http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-lundberg-app-tei-xml/ for further info

TEI and ISO – a long standing date The need for convergence Joint projects FSR-FSD ISO –TEI project (ISO back-office schema) Wider use of ODD in ISO/TC 37/SC 3 (TMF) and SC 4 (MLIF, MAF, TimeML, FSR, FSD) Thanks to ODD gurus: LR, LB, SR (making things work) TEI mechanisms in ISO Technical convergence: e.g. @target Cf. work on MAF, meta-data Going further MAF (Morphosyntactic annotation framework) as a joint TEI-ISO module?

Going further… Next meeting in the US – “American Midwest” Carrying on the evolution of ODD Explicit modularity Less magic TEI mechanisms (e.g. attribute classes) as reusable building block — cf. crystals Closer work between ISO and TEI Linguistic SIG? ISO gives the models – the TEI make them real TEI new host configuration Impact on editorial support Tool maintenance strategy
