>Dear people of the TEI,
>
>I have heard only a few days ago that the TEI is forming a work group to
>"explore the issues involved in migrating large bodies of existing TEI
>resources from SGML to XML" and that they are inviting potential
>participants.  Hans-Walter Gabler (1) encouraged me to actually send you
>this application.
>
>I would be quite interested to participate in the role of
>"representative of a project", but I think I can also claim some
>knowledge on the technical aspects of TEI/SGML and data migration.
>
>The project I could represent is, in the narrow sense, the Critical and
>Synoptic Edition of James Joyce's Ulysses, the SGML form of which came
>into being as part of my diploma thesis (2).  In a broader sense, I
>could be the contact person to the Graduiertenkolleg Textkritik der
>Universitt Mnchen (3) and its projects.  It is directed (even:
>conducted) by Hans-Walter Gabler and we have cooperated in close and
>friendly contact for years.  I have been involved as an advisor and
>programmer in several of the dissertation projects at the
>Graduiertenkolleg.
>
>My personal background is a solid foundation in Computer Science and a
>slightly less solid, but still comfortable education in literature, with
>a focus on textual criticism.  I have received my diploma degree from
>the Technical University of Munich in Computer Science and English
>Literature in 1997.  I have followed the activities of the TEI with
>strong interest in the mid- and late 90s, after the TEI P3 guidelines
>came out, and I have taken part in discussions on the TEI mailing list
>during that period.
>
>A curriculum vitae (with a bias towards "hard computing") is available
>on my web site (4).  Feel free to contact me for any further
>information.
>
>With best regards,
>
