To commemorate the tenth anniversary of its founding, the Text
Encoding Initiative (TEI) is sponsoring its first user conference, to
be held 14-16 November 1997 at Brown University in Providence, Rhode
Island.
The TEI was established at an international planning meeting on text
encoding standards, held at Vassar College on November 12-13,
1987. The TEI is sponsored by the Association for Computers and the
Humanities, the Association for Computational Linguistics, and the
Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing.
The TEI Guidelines for Electronic Text Encoding and Interchange were
published in spring of 1994. They provide an extensive SGML-based
scheme for encoding electronic texts across a wide spectrum of text
types and suitable for any kind of application. The Guidelines have
already achieved wide-scale implementation in projects throughout
North America and Europe.
The TEI conference will bring together users of the TEI Guidelines in
order to share ideas, experiences, and expertise, provide a forum for
technical discussion and evaluation of the Guidelines as they have
been implemented across a variety of applications. The topics include
but are not limited to:
o reports on the use of the TEI scheme in a particular project
or in a particular application area or discipline
o reports from particular user communities such as the builders and
designers of electronic text centers, digital libraries, language
corpora, electronic editions, multi-media databases, etc.
o evaluations of the TEI scheme as applied to a particular class of
texts or in a particular type of scholarly research
o technical discussions of particular encoding problems and solutions
such as unusual or complex text types, multi-media, multiple views
or information types, multi-lingual data and internationalization,
textual variation, overlap, etc.
o papers on customization and extension of the TEI for particular
application areas and text types
o reports on experience using off-the-shelf software with TEI
documents, or developing software to handle TEI material
o discussions of markup theory and markup architectures, with
particular reference to the TEI
o discussions of the TEI in the light of developments in the larger
computing community (the Web, XML, ...)
A portion of the conference will also be devoted to consideration of
the future of the TEI. Possible topics to be discussed include the
organization of the project, membership on the component committees,
priorities, and new work items to be proposed to the Technical Review
Committee.
