Subject: Old English Corpus now in TEI format
OLD ENGLISH CORPUS NOW AVAILABLE IN TEI-CONFORMANT MARKUP
As promised, we are now distributing a revised version of the Toronto
D.O.E. Corpus which uses TEI-conformant markup throughout. The text is
derived from the most recently corrected version distributed from
Toronto, supplemented with bibliographic and other information. The
encoding scheme used is based on SGML and follows the TEI
recommendations in all respects, except for the handling of dubious
reading, which has not been changed from the original (this was,
retrospectively, a mistake).
If you'd like to know more about the encoding scheme or see an example,
let me know and I will gladly expatiate.
We are distributing the text in our usual way: you send us a signed
order form and specify the media on which you want the text together
with payment.
Please note: because of its size, we are not (as yet) distributing the
Corpus on diskette. It is available on magnetic tape or cartridge ONLY.
The all inclusive cost is 20 pounds (within Europe) or 30 pounds
(restofworld). Cheques payable to OXFORD UNIVERSITY COMPUTING SERVICE
please.
