In response to the increasing interest and activity in the creation,
distribution and use of electronic texts in philosophy, the APA Committee on
Computer Use in Philosophy, at its December, 1988 meeting, formed a
subcommittee on Electronic Texts in Philosophy. Co-chaired by Richard Lineback,
of the Philosophy Documentation Center, and David Norton of McGill University,
the committee aims to encourage and co-ordinate the creation and use of
electronic texts in philosophy.
The subcommittee to hopes to minimize wasteful duplication of projects and
incompatibilities of markup, while maximizing accessibility of electronic texts
to all bona fide users. As a start, it is creating an up to date list of all
major philosophical texts that already exist in electronic form, as well as a
list of all current and proposed projects. It will be working with the
Association for Computers and the Humanities joint initiative with the
National Endowment for the Humanities on standardized markup
procedures. The subcommittee hopes that the information thus obtained
will enable it to advise those engaged in current and future projects
so as to avoid unnecessary overlap between projects and maximize
compatibility between them.
Any member of the subcommittee listed below would be glad to hear from
all those interested in this project. And could all those who are
currently engaged in the creation of an electronic version of a
philosophical text please send details of their project to Leslie
Burkholder?
