>Call for Participation: Migrating TEI Resources to XML
>
>The Text Encoding Initiative Consortium has been funded by the National
>Endowment for the Humanities' Division of Preservation and Access to
>conduct a two-year project to provide XML support in TEI.  The first phase
>of this project has been the production of P4, the XML-compliant revision
>of the TEI Guidelines that will be published this spring.  The second phase
>will explore the issues involved in migrating large bodies of existing TEI
>resources from SGML to XML.   To do this, the TEI will convene a workgroup
>in which selected experts and editors (8 people, total) will work closely
>with representatives from projects with significant TEI SGML holdings
>(another 10 people) to diagnose and document the problems, methods, and
>tools necessary to design and effect a migration from SGML to XML, in
>TEI.  The workgroup will be funded (travel and expenses) for a one start-up
>meeting with editors and experts only; one mid-term meeting with project
>representatives; one final meeting with editors and experts; participation
>by a technical writer for four months; participation by TEI editors and the
>TEI executive director for two months;  two one-day meetings for 8 people;
>and one two-day meeting for 18 people.
>
>The TEI Council will appoint the workgroup, and its chair, not later than
>March 15th, 2002, but it would like to invite members of the SGML, XML, and
>TEI communities to volunteer as participants in this project.  If you wish
>to volunteer, please contact
>
>tei at tei-c.org
>
>by Friday, February 28th, and identify yourself as a TEI expert, a data
>migration expert, or a representative of a project with significant TEI
>SGML holdings, and provide the Council with a brief account of your
>qualifications.
