>**** Towards a standard for encoding manuscript descriptions in electronic
>form***
>
>Over the past year, a group of manuscript scholars and experts on encoding
>of machine-readable texts have been working to define a standard for
>representing manuscript descriptions in electronic form. This work has
>been carried forward by a Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) workgroup on
>manuscript descriptions, co-chaired by Consuelo Dutschke and Ambrogio
>Piazzoni, in partnership with members of the European Union-funded MASTER
>project ('Manuscript Access through Standards for Electronic Records'), led
>by Peter Robinson.
>
> The aim of this work is to define a Text Encoding Initiative (TEI)
>implementation of SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) capable of
>holding manuscript descriptions in electronic form. Following a series of
>meetings and discussions among the members of the TEI and MASTER groups
>('the proposers'), a draft standard has been formulated. A paper
>describing this draft standard, together with summaries of discussion and
>subsequent agreements by the proposers, has now been posted to
> www.cta.dmu.ac.uk/~peterr/master/mssprop1.html
>A Word version of the document is available at
> www.cta.dmu.ac.uk/~peterr/master/mssprop1.doc
>
> We welcome comments and discussion on this paper. Such comments
>should be directed to the EAMMS discussion list (at
>EAMMS@MOE.COMPUTING.CSBSJU.EDU) by members of that list; non-members of the
>EAMMS list should apply to master@dmu.ac.uk from where their request for
>membership will be passed on to the EAMMS list. The EAMMS list has been
>established for participants and interested parties in two American
>projects, Electronic Access to Medieval Manuscripts and Digital
>Scriptorium, which are closely linked to the TEI and MASTER groups
>sponsoring these proposals.

Subject: Teaching European Literature & Culture with C&IT
New WWW publication from CTI Textual Studies
Teaching European Literature & Culture with C&IT
<http://info.ox.ac.uk/ctitext/publish/occas/eurolit/index.html>
'Teaching European Literature & Culture with Communication & Information
Technology' is a collection of selected papers from a conference of the
same name organised by CTI Textual Studies. The papers outline a rich
range of approaches to the teaching of analytical and critical skills in
literary and cultural studies. They document and reflect on the successes
or otherwise of a diverse group of projects and teaching situations and
offer a solid set of signposts and critical issues for others seeking to
follow their example in related fields.
A print version of the publication will be available later in the summer,
which will be distributed free with the next issue of our journal
Computers & Texts, which itself is free on subscription to academic
members of staff attached to UK HE institutions. Forms to subscribe to
Computers & Texts and to reserve a copy of the print publication (@7.50
